Integração de tópicos de física moderna e astronomia: uma abordagem na perspectiva da teoria da aprendizagem significativa

Abstract

In the last two decades there has been a growth of research in Physics Teaching which aim to insertion and approach of topics of modern physics and contemporary (FMC) in Middle School, a fact which has reflected in several curricula at the national and regional level which gradually been doing inserts of these contents. As regards the teaching strategies of teaching, it is extremely important that arrangements be made to articulate manner and contextualized both with the reality of the apprentice as with the history of science. As a contribution to the innovations of the practices of approaches and with the acquis of didactic materials, directed to the study of topics of FMC, this work presents the proposal for a set of activities from the theme "Light of stars", as a strategy for the approach of topics of FMC integrated the Astronomy. In him the following connections are made of study, the light of the Star, the development of the spectroscopy and radiation from the black body. Became an application with a group composed of students of the 1, 2 and 3 year of secondary education in a public school in the city of Campo Grande, belonging to the network of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The work is based on the elements of the theory of meaningful learning of David Ausubel, as a strategy for data collection was used questionnaires and logbook, and complemented by photographs of moments of interactions, the textual materials produced by the students were analyzed from the Bardin's Content Analysis. The results show that the thematic whole of activities can be considered a potentially significant material, the categories raised, on the basis of the speeches written and citations of cursistas, indicate indications of the construction of a meaningful learning.
