O Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) e a produção da calculadora solar de baixo custo para uso em atividades experimentais nas aulas de física

Abstract

This work of course completion proposes the use of low cost material (solar

calculator), as methodology teaching the content of Modern Physics, more

specifically the theme "photoelectric effect". We developed the idea after our

participation in the Institutional Program of Scholarship for Teaching Initiation

(PIBID), a program of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education

Personnel (CAPES), in which we were scholarship holders during the graduation

years. Therefore, we contextualize with the history of CAPES and PIBID,

emphasizing the importance of the program for the adaptation of students to the real

world of classrooms in our country. Soon after we did a bibliographical research on

the subject photoelectric effect, from Hertz to Compton and we deal with the subject

making an approach focused on the conceptual issues to the detriment of the

mathematical language. Our goal was to get students to appropriate these concepts

and understand the workings of this technology through a low cost experiment, giving

them the opportunity to build and develop their own concepts beyond understanding

the subject. We conclude with a proposal of Didactic Unit, where we suggest how

teachers can use the experiment of the solar calculator of low cost, as another way to

diversify the classes of Physics.
