Análise das dificuldades dos alunos na aprendizagem de circuitos elétricos na perspectiva da aprendizagem significativa de David Ausubel

Abstract

This paper presents a survey of the difficulties faced by students of the School of Basic Education, with regard to the learning of Electrical Circuits. Rather, we are analyzing the learning circuitry in the third year of high school Basic Education, with this action we seek to understand how this process occurs, observing their ways of working, studying the results of this learning and investigating possible causes for such results. We rely on our research, the studies of David Ausubel about MEANINGFUL LEARNING and on initial concepts in the study of physics as well as ascertaining the relationship between the students' prior knowledge and current scientific knowledge. We will do a mapping of the main difficulties faced by students in relation to this content. We hope with this mapping, list the difficulties faced by students and also seek to find the reasons for these difficulties. The methodology for collecting data, we applied a questionnaire consisting of two parts. The first, involving the theoretical content of Electrical Circuits, presented conceptual issues and calculation, and the second sought to evaluate the entire process of Teaching and Learning student in his school period. We analyze in relation to learning itself, the contents studied by students. Conducted an educational intervention as part of the class, to see the influence of subsumers in the lives of students. In this intervention, Previous Organizers work with, and we studied the class content using the theory of meaningful learning as north to knowledge acquisition. Through the intervention, we can see the influence of subsumes in the life of a student, and that their lack makes learning more difficult. The data collected in the research will be here investigated quantitatively and qualitatively. As a result, we find the possible causes for the difficulties in the topic addressed by the survey.
