Curiosidades da física: organizadores prévios como uma estratégia facilitadora da aprendizagem significativa de física

Abstract

This work proposes the use of a collection of texts with curiosities related to Physics in the classroom, as a complement to the material already used by the teacher. The texts serve as previous organizers, a strategy presented in David Ausubel's Meaningful Learning Theory, whose function is to manipulate the cognitive structure of the learner. The pedagogical experience occurred remotely due to the need for social isolation, a measure indicated by the World Health Organization to combat Covid-19. With the Second year high school classes in a state school in the city of Patos de Minas it was possible to analyze the use of the material based on the interest of the students. There were many reports from students who aspired to understand more about certain physical phenomena and were motivated by the material presented which was finalized as a booklet.
