Ensino de Leis de Kepler no contexto da astronomia: uma abordagem a partir das TIC

Abstract

From a study of state of the art type, was found several reports of experiences and opportunities to develop physics classes contextualized with Astronomy. Astronomy appears as a motivating factor to education, may arouse the interest of both teachers and students and be incorporated as a method to the teaching of physics in a contextualized way. In this sense TIC appear to further enhance this teaching, because it ends up being essential for the display of some content, enriching the teaching and learning of the student involved. With this methodology was developed educational material, based on the software Stellarium, for Kepler's Laws of Teaching in Secondary Education. This material was applied in a workshop of the academic week of the Degree in Physics, attended by 12 participants, most of them were freshman. It was a fruitful experience of teaching Physics with Astronomy grounded in the context of TIC, serving as a test to the developed proposal. Initially we had the intention to develop classes in regular high school classes, but due to lagging academic calendar that goal was not achieved. Still, because of the experience they had in the workshop, we intend to continue this in future research, expanding the content and discussion of other contents of Physics and Astronomy in the context of TIC.
