Compreensão de alunos do ensino médio sobre conceitos de eletricidade: entre o proposto e o posto

Abstract

The need to multiply methodologies that promote the process of teaching and learning in physics area is a growing phenomenon, motivating the search for ways to make the educational proposals increasingly interesting. This work, tuned to said question, aims to investigate the understanding of students of the third year of high school in relation to electricity concepts. We conducted initially a study on Constructivism, pointing this theoretical current as the foundation for the teaching of physics in the National Curriculum Standards for high school. Then we conducted a field work to collect data using a questionnaire administered to a group of fifty-six students. Once collected, we conducted our analysis of qualitative and quantitative aspects of the responses. The analyzes indicate that the understanding of students of the third year of high school on electricity concepts are not presented properly.
