Uso de softwares educacionais no ensino de Física

Abstract

This work is pedagogical proposal innovation and the application of a teaching methodology that makes learning more dynamic and enjoyable. This proposal was applied to study the upward vertical movements, that is, free falling bodies. To this was done using a computer modeling software called Modellus, this software enables students to build models that simulate real-world situations in the classroom, so that students actively participate in the teaching-learning process. The methodology used to conduct this monograph was to take a sample of 60 students from 1st year of high school teaching in public schools Marshal Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco, with headquarters in the city of Piquet Carneiro EC. Wheretheywere divided into smaller groups consisting of 20 students each. The formation of the groups was: Group A (students who had just lectures) B (students who were expository and lab classes) and C (students who had classes with Modellus software). For each group were given classes and shortly afterwards a questionnaire was applied. The results clearly showed that students who had classes in the lab and with Modellus software had greater commitment, involvement and therefore learning more about the physical phenomena involved in the research
