Análise e desenvolvimento de proposta de ensino de Física com o software Algodoo

Abstract

The present work highlights the importance of innovating basic education and the need to incorporate technological tools in physics teaching. It emphasizes the significance of the constructivist methodology in the teaching learning process. Additionally, it conducts an analysis of the book "Algodoo Software as a Possibility for Physics Teaching," which focuses on the Algodoo software as an educational technological tool capable of making learning more active and effective in the classroom. It is important to note that the effective use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), represented here by Algodoo, combined with the constructivist methodology, can enable students to explore physi cal concepts through interactive simulations, virtual experiments, and hypothesis testing, bringing an innovative pedagogical approach. However, the study's objective is to examine three lessons proposed in the book used in upper grade physics classes, ana lyze how teachers and students can use them, and ultimately propose an additional activity that complements and enriches the content presented in the book. These activities can expand learning opportunities.
