As tendências e perspectivas de ensino dos trabalhos sobre experimentação de física sobre o conteúdo de eletromagnetismo

Abstract

The present study refers to a bibliographical research with a qualitative approach on the potentialities of experimental activities for teaching Physics on the content of electromagnetism. We sought to analyze articles present in the scientific journal called Brazilian Journal of Physics Teaching that addressed the topic at teaching levels Middle and Higher Education, aiming to identify the different perspectives and trends that present these works in the existing literature. With the help of Content Analysis, we seek to point out and classify the methodologies, approaches and fundamentals epistemological elements present in documents, in their most distinct forms of representation, aiming at a detailed investigation into the nature of science and the method scientific that involves experimental practices. From this perspective, the results obtained point to a wide range of possibilities for using experimental activities, such as for example, its use as a means of exploring the relationship between Physics and reality, as a strategy for developing concepts and procedural skills, such as environment for problematizing different domains of knowledge, as a place privileged for teamwork, as a motivating strategy for teaching sciences, as a fertile cognitive environment for learning science and others. Therefore, the set of ideas developed in this work becomes an instrument convenient for reflecting on learning in the Electromagnetism Laboratory. Furthermore, we can also indicate paths for this field of research, such as exploring the teaching panorama that involves work on experimentation in the various Physics content, such as Modern Physics, Mechanics, Optics, Thermodynamics.
