Experimentos no ensino de física utilizando a robótica lego® ev3 no ensino médio e fundamental

Abstract

The number of private and public schools that acquire educational robotics as a pedagogical resource in the process of teaching and learning is increasing. LEGOR educational robotics is a Robotic equipment that gains more and more space in schools, which, due to its building docking parts and the block programming system used, facilitate students' learning and creativity. The purpose of this dissertation is to propose experimental scripts of Physics for High and Fundamental school using LEGOR educational robotics as a didactic tool. The acquirement of the equipment does not include suggested experimental activities to be used as a pedagogical resource in schools, it is necessary that they obtain separately. Existing experimental activities provided by some technology education companies use a signi cative amount of time in the construction of the robot. Based on this, this work proposes four experimental activities that include the areas of Mechanics and Thermology for schools and teachers who have LEGOR MINDSTORMSR EV3 or LEGOR MINDSTORMSR NXT robotics as an educational technology resource. With the proposed experimental guides, the teacher will have access to quick assembly activities that explore the physical concepts of Uniform Rectangular Motion, Uniform Circular Motion, Simple Pendulum, and Newton's Cooling Law. The experimental activities of these subjects were based on the learning theories of Piaget, Vygotsky and Papert, elaborated using the LEGOR MINDSTORMSR EV3 robotic technology (which can also be done with LEGOR MINDSTORMSR NXT), and applied with 1st and 2o series of middle school, where students were able to work in groups and use the theoretical subjects of the classroom to solve situations using this current technological resources of teaching. With the application of the educational product, students were more interested in learning the theoretical subjects of the study room when they used the LEGOR robot in a speci c activity of the subject, besides the technique helped develop the skills desired by the National Curricular Parameters of Physics in the respective subjects. The developed experimental guides have achieved the expected objectives, besides bene ting in the process of teaching and students' learning, it made the classes of physics more dynamic, practical and meaningful
