Filmes de ficção científica e ensino de Física: Potencialidades e limitações

Abstract

In a world strongly marked by the speed of communications and technological transitions, the school seems lost in the monitoring process of these that are considered the most important achievements of humanity. How to teach physics at the age of WhatsApp, Facebook and smart phone? Approaching the day-to-day student with her study environment has been an attempt to many teachers and researchers, especially to attract the interest of the young by the rich content of the curriculum disciplines. This has led many teachers to work with other features and pedagogical alternatives, especially the cultural events such as music, drawing, theater, literature, videos and movies. This study aimed to investigate and discuss the potential and limitations of science fiction movies approaches to science education, particularly with the teaching of physics. We will analyze the potential, which could make classes more dynamic and interesting, and the limitations, established mainly in class time for the development of the proposal and teacher training in the use of technological tools. It is a qualitative research and documentary-bibliographic presenting as end product indicating movies to some parameters and ways of how to work them in the science classroom (Physics).
