Abordagem do ensino do funcionamento do motor elétrico através da história da ciência e CTS

Abstract

The central theme of this study is the electricity. a part on the assumption that the understanding of aspects of the history of science, combined with an investigative process and practical classes is essential for the student to understand how this type of energy is important in their context and values the findings from the observation as an agent that moves science. The objective was to investigate the relationship between aspects of the history of science through an investigative approach focusing on CTS, and its contribution to the teaching and learning of the electric motor run for students of the third year of high school. The method used in the work was the development of a teaching sequence on the history of electricity with 24 students of the 3rd year of high school in a public school in the city of Moema/MG. After the development of the didactic sequence questionnaire, video lessons presentation, presentation of group work by the students, development of practical class and debate, one can see that the students have built significant knowledge about electricity understanding that there was a route discoveries that have contributed to improving the quality of life in the performance of daily activities, with the development of a range of equipment that operate the power base. It was concluded that the approach to the theme electricity based on the history of science helps students to build knowledge that allow these to have an overview of the subject and how it is present in your day to day.
