Uso da robótica educacional associada ao Tracker para o ensino de física

Abstract

The discipline of physics is part of the curricular parameters of Basic Education according to the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), and its teaching is considered difficult to understand and faces difficulties due to the lack of student motivation, so it is important to structure a proposal which aims to stimulate metacognitive thinking, enhancing and making learning more meaningful. The present work has as a methodological proposal the educational robotics in order to assist in the understanding of the physical concepts taught in the classroom. The research was based on a bibliographic study, according to Seymour Papert (1928-2016), a pioneer in studies on educational rhotics, supported by the use of Tracker software. In this sense, robotics was worked using LEGO Mindstorms Education EV3 kits in a high school class, through a didactic sequence of activities using object manipulation, with the main focus on the content on Newton's Laws. The insertion of technological tools makes it possible for students to be active builders of their learning, and the results indicate an improvement in stimulation among students who do not have an affinity for physics, largely those who are not interested in the discipline.
