O primeiro contato da aluno com a Física no 9° ano do ensino fundamental: um relato de experiências

Abstract

This paper presents an experience report on the students’ first contact with the discipline of Physics in the 9th grade of elementary school. The objective of the study was to analyze the perceptions and challenges faced by students in this initial moment of learning Physics. To carry out such a report, practical activities and simple experiments were used, shown in the classroom, through materials that were obtained for such feats, or an expository class through videos of experiences. The adopted methodology included observations of the students during the classes, questionnaires made by them during the class and questions asked to them about the subjects treated as thermodynamics, electricity, taking into account their daily situations. In view of the results, it was possible to perceive the importance of an adequate first contact with Physics at this stage of basic education. The practical approach proved to be effective in arousing students’ interest and motivation, contributing to a more meaningful learning of physical concepts.
