This dissertation aims to investigate the teaching-learning process and present as a proposal of educational product a Didactic Guide composed of four experimental activities of thermodynamics - Use of the thermometer, Locke Experience, Thermoscope and Dilatometer. These activities are intended to serve as potentially meaningful materials to assist teachers in their physics classes and have been elaborated and applied based on a methodology of Teaching by Research to facilitate Meaningful Learning, according Ausubel’s theory. We applied this product in two second grade classes in rural communities, both assisted by the Sistema de Organização Modular de Ensino – SOME. The first application took place in the community of Costa do Tapará, which is in the region of the floodplain of the river Amazon, with main access by fluvial route. The second application was in the Santarém Miri community, which is also in the floodplain of the river Amazon, but with main access by land. In both communities, we sought to identify meaningful learning patterns through written reports of students, questionnaires with open questions, questionnaires with closed questions using a Likert scale and socializations, which were performed at the end of each experimental activity. The analysis of the results suggests that the educational product was well accepted by the students contributing to increase their interest in the content and to facilitate the learning of the contents of thermodynamics in a meaningful way.

The work developed a proposal of Teaching Physics from situations in the traffic through a thematic approach signaled by the Science, Technology and Society approach. It was organized based on the themes proposed by a professor at the Federal University of Pará, structured in three stages: Presentation, Deepening and Production-Evaluation. It was designed for implementation in the 1st Grade of Regular High School, since the topic of traffic allows subjects related to mechanics, which is the programmatic content of this series, to emerge with greater fluidity. We had the motivator the fact that all of a directly or indirectly, are part of the traffic and can apply knowledge of physics to a possible decision making, which is a major feature of the CTS approach. The result of this proposal was to build an educational product in the form of didactic material that prioritizes local context lived by the students, with an emphasis on real problems and situations met in the traffic in your town that will allow relations with physics. Thus, considering the methodological aspects that served as the basis for the preparation of the product, the students were able to use educational material that emphasizes a more humanistic and more focused education for a leading student in the learning process.

The teaching for students with special needs is in the process of reconstruction in Brazil. However, meeting the different educational needs that students with disabilities still have is one of the main barriers faced by teachers. In this context, this work aimed to provide a product of multisensory didactic tools for teaching physics, in the subject of waves, to assist high school teachers. In order to create the didactic sequence, different categories of the visually impaired, logical sequence of the content to be taught, evaluation of the students' learning by parts, critical analysis of the viability of the product as a pedagogical tool were considered. 50 teaching resources were made in high relief. This didactic set was applied to four visually impaired students in the Specialized Educational Unit Dr. José Tadeu Duarte Bastos (UEES) in the municipality of Santarém in the State of Pará. The methods used in the product pleased the students, who according to them the methodology conducted facilitates the understanding content. One of the factors that facilitates learning was the social interaction among the students, which helped a lot in the construction of knowledge. The product contributed to: the contact with the physical environment of the content addressed; the lack of adequate material can lead to learning in the discipline of physics; the formation of concepts through the student's contact with the things of the world; the reduction of the gap in the acquisition of information by the visually impaired students, facilitating the discrimination of details and provoking the delicate movements with the fingers.

The objective of this master's thesis is to present the use of two low-cost experiments: A High Voltage Capacitor and a Balance of Electric Current in a Magnetic Field, as pedagogical tools that have reproducibility, are ludic and potentially meaningful, applied within a didactic sequence of teaching by research aiming to facilitate meaningful learning. As the theoretical basis for the construction, application and analysis of the results, we use Ausubel’s meaningful learning theory, the methodology of application of physics teaching with experimental problems and some theoretical references on low cost experimental activities in science education. We applied the product in three different educational contexts. In a class of the undergraduate of the Teacher formation course on Mathematics and Physics of the Universidade Federal do Oeste do Pará, where through interviews with focus groups, we verified that most these academics would reproduce the experiment of the capacitor in their future pedagogical activities. With a high school class from a public school located in the urban area of Santarém where students, through a survey, stated that they liked the experiment of the capacitor. Also with a rural teaching group of the Sistema de Organização Modular de Ensino (SOME) in a community situated on the banks of the Amazon River in a region of lowland where, through the analysis of written reports of students and a questionnaire applied before and after, we can perceive evidences of meaningful learning of the concepts of electric charge, electrification processes, electrostatic force, electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic force and electric current. This research demonstrates that the educational product has good reproducibility, is ludic and has the potentiality to be meaningful, and can be worked within the methodology of teaching by research as a facilitator of teaching and learning process.

In the midst of an era of technical-scientific innovation, there are numerous pedagogical opportunities related to the technological resources available for the teaching-learning process. The smartphone as a didactic strategy was the resource chosen because it is a portable resource, very widespread among young people in high school, and also used almost always improperly during classes, which has caused inconvenience for many teachers. Thus, it was demonstrated that there are ways to use this tool with enormous didactic potential in Physics teaching, in order to present in a practical way some concepts, to promote a more interactive learning, as well as to show the evolution of a traditional education based only on transmission of knowledge to a constructivist model that stimulates reflection and critical thinking in the student. Thus, through the experimentation, with the use of the smartphone, we sought to verify laws and theories of physical kinematics, facilitate learning and understanding and application of concepts related to uniform rectilinear motion (MRU) and uniformly varied rectilinear motion (MRUV). The objective of this work is to develop a methodological proposal for the teaching of MRU and MRUV with the use of smartphone application as a tool for teaching contents for the first grade of High School. The specific objectives are to apply experimentation with the use of a free app downloaded from the internet by the Google Play Store to aid in the teaching of content learning process. It was also sought to observe the level of knowledge of the student on the subject, before and after the experiment, from the application of a survey questionnaire, in addition to measuring the degree of student satisfaction with regard to the application of the experimentation. A bibliographic research was initially carried out, complemented by field research in a specific school in the state school network of Santarém, state of Pará. Thus, it can be observed that the students had a significant improvement in the level of learning after the activities of experiment, because there was a great interactivity between student and teacher, besides the importance of the realization of experiments as an essential possibility of improvement in the learning of both the student and the teacher.

The teaching of Physics in Brazil has been marked by diverse problems, mainly due to the difficulties of learning and interest on the part of the students, the classes of the discipline Physics still are seen by the students as a tangle of formulas without contextualization with the daily life. In view of this scenario, it is necessary to develop differentiated proposals that allow the exploration of several possibilities of learning in physics teaching, in order to awaken in students a critical sense and interactive learning. E One of the alternatives was to gather information and animations on cancer issues using an Interactive Digital Booklet (LID), where students had concentrated information with animations and simulations. This dissertation discusses the teaching of Physics based on the approach Science, Technology and Society (CTS), leading the students to reflections for the construction of critical sense and production of their points of view regarding the subject matter. The LID was applied in a class of third year of high school and later carried out the analyzes that it was realized the acceptability and learning of the cancer theme and the physical knowledge related to this theme.

The aim of this work is to develop the content of Superconductors In high school. This content was chosen due to some factors: updating of educational curricula, supporting material for the High school teachers and students ' contact with the physics of the twentieth century. The topic of superconductors will be applied through the methodology of teaching by research in the experimental demonstrations, the methodology that transforms the teacher into a mediator, between the knowledge and the pupils, having the teacher a secondary role in the Learning and no more leading role. Two instructional materials will be applied, containing physical concepts, experimental demonstrations involving the application of concepts and investigative issues. The instructional material I presents the concepts of metallic crystal network, electrical current, electrical resistivity and electrical resistance. After developing the concepts it goes to Experimental phase, the class is prepared in small groups, will be given to the students the screenplay I presenting four questions with four demonstrations, being three investigative form, after the teacher present the experiment to be studied, students should do the reading of Question, soon after a debate begins with the groups to solve the problem, students must write the result in the script and finally the teacher performs the demonstration, this process is repeated in the other questions. At the end of the experimental activity, the teacher starts a debate with the students, improves the knowledge placed by the students, approaching the understanding of scientific knowledge and after that moment, each student will receive a questionnaire with questions of Multiple choice to verify that the knowledge acquired in the tasks was understood by the class. The instructional material II consists of the concepts of superconductors: history, phenomena involving superconductors, types, theories and ultimately the applications of superconductors in our daily lives. After developing the conceptual part goes to the questions and the investigative statements.

This study deals about the teaching proposal that aims to teach the main of atomic models through an epistemological perspective, in order to lead the student to understand that the scientific doing is a human construction, product of the dialectical historical process subject to the most varied contradictions. For that, it was of great importance the valuation of the previous knowledge of the students in the elaboration of a Potentially Meaningful Teaching Unit (PMTU), under the guidance of Marco A. Moreira. As well as the progressive differentiation of concepts and ideas in the context of the History of Science through the view of Thomas Kuhn, which describes scientific evolution from the paradigmatic revolutions. In general terms, everything turns clear that any support for the development of didactic tools that is going to aid in teaching practice is a valid effort, because in the face of the results we can infer that the pedagogical product has succeeded in its purpose, based on the theoretical assumption of meaningful learning of Ausubel, was able to promote significant improvements in the apprehension of concepts and meanings, as well as to increase students' capacity for argumentation in the face of problem situations at more complex levels.
