O uso de experimentos computacionais interativos no ensino de mecânica para alunos do 1º ano do ensino médio

Abstract

The present work of course completion for a class of classical mechanics - the branch of physics that studies the behavior of a system, its movement, or resting state, as well as the forces interacting in that system - their teaching within the schools, as well as their more practical teaching within the classrooms, especially in the first year of high school, and the influence of these practices on the better learning of the students. Through ex-perimental computational practices, the students have a greater understanding of the subject addressed, relating the theory learned in the classroom with the phenomena ex-perienced in the daily life. For this, a practical script was applied, in which the students made measurements from the data provided by means of a computational simulation of mechanics teaching. Having at the end of this same script a questionnaire about the sub-ject, which was answered individually by the students. According to the answers to the questionnaire, a real learning of the subject was observed, allowing the students to cor-rectly associate the phenomena observed in the simulation with phenomena of their daily life.
