Tecnologias digitais para o ensino de Física: eletricidade e magnetismo no Ensino Médio

Abstract

The inclusion of themes related to Electricity and Magnetism is indispensable when related to the teaching of Physics in High School. However, due to the lack of support materials and available time, many teachers face difficulties in developing attractive classes on this subject. In this sense, seeking to systematize computer simulators in a catalog has the potential to contribute significantly to the work of the teacher, especially to rethink his methodological approaches, based on the use of ICTs. Aiming to analyze possibilities of using simulators as an alternative to conventional laboratories, in an attempt to supply the need for experimentation in this discipline, investigating, proposing and developing a digital catalog, which aims to assist teachers in the use of these tools in Physics Teaching. In this perspective, we identified simulators on the Phet Colorado platform for the proposed theme and suggested strategies for its use in the classroom through the digital catalog developed. Thus, with our results of the analysis and proposal for the use of the catalog, we realized how relevant the proposal can be, since the use of simulators contributes to a communicative environment, between students, teachers and the object of study.
