A influência do ensino de disciplinas de eletroeletrônica no ensino médio, sobre o desempenho dos alunos em cursos de áreas tecnológicas de nível superior

Abstract

Among students recently admitted to technology colleges, there is a positive trend regarding the performance of those who have had prior contact with specific course subjects, which require time to mature understanding and learning. Electronics subjects typically involve knowledge that is not common in high school education, such as: devices in electrical circuits, digital electronics and the formation of logic, or even semiconductors in analog electronics. This specific field has the characteristic of being new for many beginning students and this ends up making it difficult to assimilate the content. Within this context, the work aims to show the influence of prior teaching of electronics subjects on the performance of higher education students recently admitted to technology colleges. The statements in this work were made through the results of a Quantitative research, which is based on numbers and graphs to reach a result. This research targeted students of the first (1st) and second (2nd) semester of Electrical Engineering - UFC (Universidade Federal do Ceará), Electrical Engineering – UNIFOR (Universidade de Fortaleza) and Mechatronics Engineering - IFCE (Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará). Sixty-three (63) responses were obtained to the questionnaire, which contained fifteen (15) questions, with five (5) response items each. The analyzed result indicated the ease in learning electronics subjects in the higher education course for students who previously had this contact.
