Análise de metodologias para o ensino de Eletrodinâmica com o uso de sucata eletrônica

Abstract

This Final Undergraduate Project aims to thoroughly discuss the use of electronic waste as a didactic resource in the teaching of electrodynamics, with an emphasis on sustainable pedagogical practices and active methodologies. The research starts from the premise that the incorporation of reusable materials into the school environment—especially those derived from discarded electronic components—can significantly contribute to the contextualization of physics teaching, making it more engaging, accessible, and relevant to students’ everyday experiences. Through a qualitative and essentially bibliographic approach, the study is grounded in the critical analysis of academic works, scientific articles, dissertations, theses, as well as official educational documents such as the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). It also explores interdisciplinary topics such as environmental education, inquiry-based learning, sustainability, and meaningful learning, all aligned with the principles of contemporary science and the social demands for an education aimed at the holistic development of students. This project seeks to demonstrate how the reuse of discarded electronic components and devices can contribute to building a more ecologically responsible and critical educational practice, while also fostering the development of the competencies and skills outlined in the BNCC, such as scientific thinking, creativity, socio-environmental responsibility, and problem-solving abilities. Although no practical application was carried out within the scope of this research, theoretical and methodological foundations are presented to support future pedagogical interventions that integrate science and sustainability in physics education.
