Lei de Faraday: do senso comum a aprendizagem significativa

Abstract

The construction of scientific knowledge is a process, which begins before the school access, since by family-society interaction and the means of communication provide a vast empirical knowledge of certain physical phenomena. This fact causes future generations to come to school with a range of knowledge, which can facilitate the development of scientific knowledge. But for this to occur it is necessary that the teacher is able to develop the conceptual change of scientific empirical knowledge in scientific. The scientific knowledge of Faraday's Law is important in high school (MS), because even being an arduous process, it provides the student to evidence the interaction of electricity and magnetism, a phenomenon that had long been treated as distinct and, today forms electromagnetism. There are many reasons that show that the discovery of this law was fundamental for the generation and transmission of electricity, the electric motor, electric power transformers and other equipment so present in people's daily lives. Faraday's Law, a great discovery of 19th-century science with all its fascinating historical-social-technological context, has generally not been addressed in high school and higher education (undergraduate course). Due to these factors, the educational product will be applied to serve as a support material for teachers in public and private schools. The educational product consists of a didactic sequence that will be led by David Ausubel's theory of meaningful learning will consist of 6 (six) meetings, and each meeting of 2 (two) moments, but due to the covid-19 pandemic the classes had to be adapted, so the development of the educational product took place in the second half of 2021, period in which the classes came back in person in high school.
