Uma proposta de ensino de Gravitação Universal utilizando um blog de estudo como ferramenta de apoio

Abstract

Usually the lessons of physics at basic education little interest to students, much of this lack of interest is associated with the methodologies used to work for such knowledge, which are connected to conventional manner, the traditional approach, which still permeates the current education and plans education prepared by the teacher. This work deals with the development and implementation of an educational proposal for the theme of Universal Gravitation, from classroom and virtual meetings, aims to verify to what extent the change in teaching practices can encourage the student to participate in the construction and understanding of concepts of Physics, as well as providing other educators and students interested a material that can be used as support, or consultation, produced from the studies in the construction of the teaching proposal. Therefore the following steps of research were followed: choosing the theoretical framework; search for similar work in the main journals; development and implementation of educational proposal; and analysis of the results obtained during the intervention with students. The theoretical frameworks chosen to guide this study were divided into five parts, namely: The Physics Teaching and NCPs; Construction Concepts and Learning - Social interaction Vygotsky; History of Science and Implications for Education; Use of Blogs in Education, and Universal Gravitacion. For the realization of that research was elaborated a didactic proposal that involved classroom sessions on the subject matter and activities directed to a virtual environment (study blog), where High School students at a public school in the interior of Ceará could interact at times out of the classroom, thus extending the time pedagogical. The results achieved with this research showed, in general, students were satisfied with the resources used in the classroom and virtual classes, they demonstrated a good use and that there was a handsome learning by almost all them.
