O funcionamento básico de uma usina hidrelétrica, baseado na abordagem CTS, como intervenção ao ensino de física na EJA

Abstract

The teaching of the curricula of disciplines in schools has been discussed for a long time. The agenda of this uproar has been several, among which we highlight one: the teaching of the contents include the necessary knowledge for the formation of the individual? In this context, I do not like thinking that teaching is not somehow contextualized to the daily lives of students especially when the type of education has specific characteristics that limit the approach to content, like in the Youth and Adult Education (YAE) where the time is very short, which ends up leading the teacher to have to select some of the contents. This study aims to present an account of the application of an Educational Product (EP) produced specifically for physics teaching in adult education at secondary level. The idea is that this report will serve as an analysis parameter, to check if the methodology and the actions employed in the application have satisfactory results for a more meaningful learning, as well as the product itself can be considered a favorable teaching resource for the physics learning, so that in the future, after the necessary corrections, might be used as teaching material in schools that work with the YAE. The educational product addresses the basic operation of a hydroelectric plant and has as main phenomenon to be investigated, the electromagnetic induction. Other auxiliary materials were also used in our teaching practice. Nevertheless, we find in the STS movement, which stands for Science, Technology and Society, and the Paulo Freire's ideas, theoretical support for our educational intervention.
