O uso do software Scratch como ferramenta pedagógica para o ensino de eletricidade com enfoque na mudança conceitual

Abstract

This work deals with a class proposal making use of digital information and communication technologies (TDICs) for the teaching of electricity in classes of 3rd grade of high school. It aims to stimulate effective learning in the teaching of electrical circuits and Ohm's first law. Due to the difficulty faced by the teacher in maintaining students' attention amid habits with frequent use of technology, scratch software will be used as a technological tool applied to the teaching of electrical circuits as an alternative teaching proposal, which is the construction of a simple circuit being worked on the first ohm law with concepts of electric current, electric voltage and resistance. The study is based on the pedagogical theory of constructivism, where the student has the possibility of actively assimilating participating in the construction of knowledge using the focus of conceptual change, taking advantage of the students' previous knowledge applied to everyday life. As it is a different application, this approach encourages the student to participate and collaborate in the classroom, favoring the work of the teacher, in addition to providing a range of applications and approaches.
