Teaching of Energy Absorption and Emission Phenomena via Digital Learning Objects and Active Methodologies

Abstract

In this work, some results of didactic-pedagogical interventions are exposed, organized by a Didactic Sequence (DS) that involves the use of Digital Learning Objects (ODA) and Active Methodologies (AM), with students of the 9th (ninth) year of Elementary School, to carry out the Teaching and Learning Process (Teaching) of the following topics related to Modern and Contemporary Physics (FMC): Absorption, Spontaneous Emission and Stimulated Emission of Energy. Although the phenomena of Absorption, Spontaneous and Stimulated Emission of Energy are fundamental for the understanding of modern and everyday technologies, they are still little explored in the teaching of physics in Brazilian schools. Seeking to facilitate the dissemination of this very relevant theme, it is proposed to use the Rad&Mat Simulator, associated with the active methodology of Delizoicov's Three Pedagogical Moments, as a way of expanding the possibilities of pedagogical-methodological practices attributed to the teaching of Physics and, also, to increase the active engagement of students in the teaching and learning process of the topic addressed. The methodology used in the work was adapted to be totally remote, with a quali-quantitative character, being applied in a class of 26 students from the 9th year of high school in the public network, in the interior of the state of Pará. The results obtained, from investigative and evaluative questionnaires about the didactic-pedagogical intervention, show that the use of the Rad&Mat Simulator generated student engagement in the proposed activities, in addition to having contributed significantly to the construction of these students' knowledge on the topics involved.
