Ensino de Física e inteligências múltiplas: softwares educativos como coadjuvantes no processo de desenvolvimento de inteligências lógico - matemática e linguística

Abstract

The updating in the teaching process and, more specifically, in the learning process are the pillars that guide this work. The view that the student is a passive person in the role of learner must be changed and, in this way, the Multiple Intelligences Theory is a tool that can provide the beginning of a fruitful discussion about this subject. The general objective is to identify, according to the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, the levels of Logical - Mathematical and Linguistic Intelligence with the purpose of making decisions about changes in the learning process in Physics so that the mentioned intelligences can be developed. In this study we used field research of a quantitative nature whose data collection occurred during the year 2015 together with a sample of 226 students from all high school in a state public school in Fortaleza, which constituted the test group. The control group was formed by students from the same school who had good income in the discipline of Physics and entered courses in Colleges and Universities that are directly related to the discipline of Physics. The data collection instrument consists of a spreadsheet containing the Multiple Intelligences inventory developed by Gardner. The data indicate that the intelligences directly related to learning in Physics are: Logical - Mathematical, Linguistic and Musical. The systematization of these data resulted in an educational product that is characterized as a manual that will guide the Physics teacher about how to use the knowledge of the multiple intelligences of the students in the classroom with the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the physical concepts worked well As a greater participation of students in the learning process.
