O ensino de tópicos de cinemática através de robótica educacional

Abstract

Society is continually bombarded in its day-to-day by the new technologies and this interaction not only connects people but modifies in a profound way the possibilities of a more meaningful school experience for the student. In addition, educators and educational policy makers in our country are increasingly instigating and making this reality possible. This dissertation had as main objective to integrate the educational robotics in the teaching of topics of Kinematics like: Uniform Rectilinear Motion (URM), Uniformly Varied Rectilinear Motion (UVRM), Uniform Circular Movement (UCM) and Gears using LEGO Mindstorms NXT 9797 kits. In addition to exploring the physical concepts involved in the experiment with the data collected, as well as data analysis through distance versus time graphs. In this way, the contents of Physics are contextualized looking to overcome the dichotomy between theory and practice, which hampers the learning process in the Physics discipline. The didactic proposal was experienced with students of the 1st year of High School of the Reference School in High School Maria Gayão Pessoa Guerra de Araçoiaba-PE. Among the results, it is realized that the realization of experiments using educational robotics as new pedagogical practices, simultaneously linked to the understanding of concepts in Physics teaching, can be an effective tool in the teaching-learning process.
