A potencialização da física nas aulas preparatórias para o IFCE a partir de experimentos práticos propostos por um guia didático

Abstract

The subject of Physics today faces a significant challenge due to various factors that contribute to the ineffectiveness of lessons, which can lead students to develop a lack of motivation and interest in the discipline. One of these challenges is centered on the teacher’s pedagogical practice, which requires additional strategies to engage students. This something extra refers to experiments related to Physics content that spark curiosity and interest, facilitate understanding, and connect to students’ everyday experiences. Furthermore, despite increased access to technology in our society, there remains a gap: the lack of integration of experiments in Science/Physics classes, which calls for a rethinking of the current teachinglearning context. Therefore, it is crucial that teachers’ lesson plans include supplementary resources, such as a didactic guide to support this process. The objective of this work is to develop experiments that encourage both teachers and students to engage in practical demonstration activities in Physics, enhancing student comprehension, linking content to daily life, and, importantly, assisting students in solving questions related to the IFCE entrance examination, which is the next step after completing middle school. As a proposed educational product, a preliminary project is presented that can be used by teachers, consisting of a didactic guide titled: Enhancing Physics in Preparatory Classes for the IFCE through Practical Experiments Proposed by a Didactic Guide. The guide supports the development of practical lessons using low-cost or recyclable materials, aiming to improve student performance.
