A utilização do Modellus no ensino do movimento retilíneo uniforme nas aulas de física na Educação de Jovens e Adultos

Abstract

Youth and Adult Education (EJA) is a modality of Basic Education, aimed at individuals who did not have access or had their training paths suspended. The current guidelines in the legislation for EJA state that this type of education does not represent only a chance to make up for lost schooling, but repairs, qualifies and equals. However, there are many difficulties in working with such a teaching modality, since the time available for applying the vast content is very small. Thus, it is necessary for the teacher to adopt a differentiated teaching methodology, especially in Physics Teaching, which is a discipline that requires greater reasoning for students to understand. Pedagogical practices, mediated by the use of Technologies, constitute one of several options to increase the traditional method, encouraging practical knowledge in Physics. Therefore, it becomes relevant to apply ICTs as a pedagogical resource in Physics Education, in the EJA modality. In this sense, this dissertation aims to use ICTs as a teaching strategy for the study of the Uniform Straight Movement MRU in Physics classes in Youth and Adult Education. For this, we will make use of the Modellus software, which is an educational software for computer simulation and modeling, to assist in the didactic process. Of a qualitative nature, the theoretical basis of the theory of Delizoicov and Angotti was used as the basis for this research, in which they report the three pedagogical moments. Through the analysis of the results obtained, it was realized that the class held with the aid of the Modellus software facilitated the teaching process, in addition to showing the student that this modeling and simulation environment dispenses with the knowledge of programming language. Therefore, it can be said that technologies provide more dynamic and interactive classes that make students more interested in studying Physics. However, it is worth mentioning that the use of educational computer simulation and modeling software (Modellus) should be a support tool that helps the didactic process, not replacing the traditional method. This research was carried out at the Daniel Carneiro State Elementary and High School, located in the municipality of Riacho dos Cavalos - PB, during the periods from April to May of the year 2019, with a class of Cycle V in the EJA modality equivalent to the first grade from highschool.
