Tecnologia digital educacional para a aprendizagem da dinâmica newtoniana

Abstract

Currently, in the educational field, we are experiencing important changes in the teaching-learning processes, which are closely linked to the use of technological tools oriented to teaching processes. However, one of the questions that generated the idea of this research was to know: What is the impact of the use of Educational Digital Technology (EDT) in the teaching of Physics? Thus, the main objective of this research is to evaluate the use of EDT for the learning of Newtonian Dynamics, being the research subjects students and professors of the Physics Degree course at the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG). To carry out this evaluation, a Didactic Unit was created, composed of five (05) Didactic Sequences that integrate EDT tools, based on the theories proposed by Ausubel, Vygotsky and Freire. Also incorporating active methodologies and the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), model proposed by Misha and Koehler. The research is exploratory, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, using questionnaires as a data collection instrument and thus making a diagnosis of how EDTs are being used in the teaching process until the evaluation of the proposal. The results show a bibliographic review with theses and dissertations related to the research topic, where the Bibliometrix was used as a data collection tool and the Iramuteq as a support tool for this analysis. Then, the results of the applied questionnaires were using the phenomenological analysis for the discussion of the data obtained. Finally, the results expressed in this study present strong evidence that student learning regarding the content of Newtonian dynamics has been mechanical and short-term. Good classroom planning with didactic and technological strategies such as those presented in this proposal, together with techniques and resources that can facilitate learning, generates a product with good results, in addition, it can be used by teachers at any educational level, offering the possibility of helping students to understand the contents in their daily life and possibly contribute to improve their learning.
