À sombra da física: avaliação de um projeto educativo

Abstract

This work aims to show learning results obtained in a project developed with students of 2nd and 3rd years of secondary education, the State College Hostel Dr..RaimundoAlbergariaFilho - Interscholastic Center - in Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais in the years 2005 and 2006, relating to the planting of trees on school work targeting specific content of Thermal Physics and thus escaping the routine and tiresome expository lessons of discipline. With this project, the teacher aimed to also throw shade on the walls of the classrooms, as well as bring more comfort to its users and work values as group integration, interdisciplinary learning, ecological awareness and concern for the environment, looking for practical solutions to difficulties in the context in which they are inserted. In 2014, with a new class of 3rd year from the same school, the teacher promotes the avaluation of the results of this project through new measurements of the temperature in classrooms, discussions, interviews, questionnaires and suggestions for new projects on physics teaching and educational process in general. Thus, this thesis aims to determine the effectiveness of a project that applied knowledge of Thermal Physics in classes in high school in the state of Minas Gerais and show that involved students understood, by own means, the content learned in classroom can be used to improve the quality of life around you.
