O uso do universo dos quadrinhos no ensino de mecânica com auxílio do teatro

Abstract

Currently, the career of the physics teacher has undergone significant changes, whether due to the new technologies implemented in the classroom or to the young public that long for some application of the physical concepts in the everyday routine, since they are no longer enough to learn only by receiving predetermined information by the teacher. Thus, youth protagonism needs to be respected and conducted by the teacher in the classroom, even including the young culture, to facilitate the teaching-learning aspect. In this context, this work was elaborated in the face of how the teacher, depending on the class or subjects presented and considering the annual planning, could use comic characters together with the performing arts to facilitate learning and, above all, to add positive and applicable aspects to Physics contents. Especially with regard to the first contacts of the students with Mechanics, the comic characters would be used to exploit as much as possible physics presented in the classroom, promoting a kind of science fair of the chosen characters, as well as teaching of chemical and biological aspects, since this emphasis is one of the suggestions of the PCN+ of Physics, according to the MEC. The theatrical presentation as an integral part of the work would be a video game simulation in which five participants would be protagonists. The present work was inspired in theory Significant Learning, by David Ausubel. However, as the presented work suggests a manual to guide the teacher in the classroom, this professional, taking into consideration the particularities of his students, can positively implement any pedagogical tendency in a dynamic way with his students.
