Uma experiência de aplicação de vídeos-aula em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem no ensino de Física

Abstract

The Distance Education beenevidenced by the Ministry of Education of Brazil with an important modality in the permanent politics of expansion of education in the country. It is configured in contemporary society as an important means of educational inclusion. Thus, taking into consideration the high rates of dropout and failure in the physics teaching, our aim was to teach a physics introductory course with the use of video-lessons in virtual learning environment for students who were attending General Physics I or equivalent. The virtual learning environment we used was Moodle, which is a distance education platform based on free software. As a working methodology we use the action research in an attempt to provide a solution to the problem raised in relation to beginning students of physics teaching, especially those who are enrolled in the curriculum component General Physics I or equivalent. The course taught addressed contents using video-classes, so going the distance approaching a classroom course, but with the possibility to use the technological resources available.
