O uso de atividades lúdicas para o estudo do conteúdo som: uma proposta para a Educação de Jovens e Adultos

Abstract

This study aims to examine the contributions of playful activities in the teaching of Physics directed towards Youth and Adult Education, envisioning them as an alternative to energize the approach to the content Sound. The topic Sound was chosen due to the scarcity of resources dedicated to it for the EJA modality, as well as its direct connection to the various possible uses in our daily lives. The investigation is qualitative and pedagogical in nature, conducted in a sixth-cycle class in the subject of Physics at the Pedro Targino da Costa Moreira State High School, located in the city of Cacimba de Dentro, Paraíba. Pedagogical research was employed because there was an interest not only in collecting information but also in analyzing these data, as well as in assisting the students in the class to contribute to the understanding of the lessons. To this end, the data collection instrument used was classes with playful activities planned by the researcher teacher and data records through class recordings, student notes in their notebooks, photographic images of the proposed activities, and a semi-structured questionnaire containing open and closed questions, aimed at gathering information to answer our research question. The final analyses of this research, with the application of the teaching sequence titled Playing with Sound, showed a very positive effect on the expected aspects for the experienced local reality, as the students were able to engage in participation, construction, assembly, and execution activities, along with the teacher and other classmates, with cooperation, respect, and empathy for everyone.
