Sequência didática: uso do ensino por investigação e cooperação no ensino de circuitos elétricos na educação básica

Abstract

In this study is showed an educational product, a didactic sequence that explores Cooperative Learning and Research Teaching applied to the teaching of Physics and that was applied in the EEM Manoel Senhor de Melo Filho in Aquiraz, CE. The group chosen was the 3rd year of regular high school in a rural school. For this, a bibliographic research was done, through which was chosen the Jigsaw II cooperative method, which seemed to be consistent with our methodological proposal. Experimentation and simulation were also used to support the cooperative and investigative approach. The simple electrical circuits were explored in this didactic sequence, evolving to an association of resistors in series and in parallel. It was possible to perceive a change in the posture of the students in relation to the discipline of Physics, besides a good acceptance of the cooperative approach. The involvement was such that, in both experimental and simulation approaches, the students expanded their investigations beyond that proposed, analyzing the sequence of the evaluations and perceiving the evolution in the main concepts related to electrical circuits. In this way, cooperative learning and research teaching have contributed significantly to instituting a favorable environment for students' cognitive development, as well as helping student-student and student-teacher interpersonal relationships, which are desirable conditions in our society.
