Construção de uma Unidade de Ensino Potencialmente Significativa para o ensino de Ondas Mecânicas e Eletromagnéticas

Abstract

In this work it is proposed the production of a Potentially Significant Teaching Unit to work concepts related to waves with high school students. A general presentation of the main ideas of Ausubel was made, pointing out how the theory can be applied in a didactic sequence. Demonstrations have also been made on how the physical terms of mechanical wave equations are similar to the electromagnetic wave equations. The didactic sequence presents several didactic tools such as the construction of experiments, works with texts and evaluations. The registration of the applications of these activities, as well as the analysis of the impressions of the application are reported in its own chapter. Finally, it is proposed the creation of material directed to high school teachers to facilitate the approach of this theme in classes, taking as a theoretical reference the meaningful learning of David Ausubel.
