Um estudo sobre eclipses para o ensino de física no ensino médio: um diálogo entre o conceitual e o uso das tecnologias

Abstract

This is a monograph for the conclusion of the course in Physics degree from the

Institute of Education, Science and Technology of do Rio Grande do Norte, Campus

Santa Cruz. The research develops around the eclipses as contents of physics

teaching in high school, the last stage of basic education in the organization of the

brazilian educational curriculum according to the Law of Guidelines and Bases for

national education no. 9,394/1996. Discusses the use of technologies in teaching of

Eclipses in high school and, thereafter, the goal is to do a bibliographic survey about

the concept of eclipse in order to reconstitute its formation along the historical

process of development of physics. So, with a focus on studies of this phenomenon,

organizes a bibliographical review about such content in scientific bases for high

school. To consolidate that proposition an empirical research was used with middle

school students using traditional teaching strategies and use of technologies. The

methodology that was adopted stem from the literature search for applied research to

teaching about eclipses. The results of this study are knowledge about eclipses and

can contribute to the teaching and learning of Physics in middle school.

Keywords: Eclipses; Astronomical Instruments; Physics teaching; High School.
