O olho como sensor de luz: utilização da plataforma Arduino como elemento motivador para a aprendizagem significativa crítica em óptica

by Pedro de Medeiros Goulart

Abstract: Nowadays, teachers need to seek diversified methodologies for more attractive teaching and that will arouse interest in students. The teaching of Physics, to a large extent, is still linked to mathematical formalism and decontextualized; as a consequence of this fact, there is a great lack of disinterest in its study. Therefore this work brings as a motivating element for the study of concepts related to Physics, the processing of information through the human eye. With activities in the Critical Meaningful Learning Theory by Marco Antonio Moreira was elaborated a following didactic sequence of thirteen activities, including three experiments and five demonstrations. The demonstrations were prepared using Arduino electronics prototyping platform in which students can actively participate. The didactic sequence was applied in times of the COVID-19 pandemic in person at the Basic Education School Gregório Manoel de Bem in the municipality of Laguna/SC, with the participation of ten students from the third grade of Innovative High School. Still as activities were designed to be applied with students of the third grade of High School to introduce Quantum Physics, as they can also be applied to Elementary School for debate other concepts of Physics such as a notion of time and a formation of colors.
