Ensino de movimento circular através de roteiro de experimentos utilizando robótica educacional

Abstract

The teaching-learning process has been adjusting to the reality experienced by students and teachers. There was a period of rise of the booklets, after the telecourses and many others that marked the pedagogical history of Brazil, and then came the digital age, people inserted themselves in this environment and it is up to education to follow the process and adapt to it. To this end, the present work was developed: to propose means for adapting teaching to current technologies. Thus, a script is offered to be used by teachers of the curriculum component Physics in high school. This script has an approach with fewer abstractions, making learning more playful, and interacting with experiments conducted through a small robot. It was held at the Antônio Gomes State School, located in the city of João Câmara, state of Rio Grande do Norte, with a total of 37 students between 15 and 17 years old. For its execution, a robot developed with the support of the URA project, developed by members of the Automation and Robotics Laboratory of UFRN, was used. In this work it was evident the importance of didactic methods that make the student co-author of knowledge, as well as a higher performance of these when in participatory and playful classes. Thus, the use of robotics in education has shown promise in view of the favorable results obtained, aware that further research must be conducted to make its application even more viable. Thus, it is outlined the insertion of the use of new technologies in the daily life of classrooms, giving them a more constructive sense.
