PROPOSTA DE SEQUÊNCIA DIDÁTICA SOBRE UNIDADES DE MEDIDA EM UMA PERSPECTIVA CTS

Abstract

This article was inspired by situations experienced by the researcher in daily life, teaching Physics in High School at Colégio Estadual Desembargador Virgílio de Melo Franco, located in the city of Paranã-TO. Through observations and practice in the classroom, it was found some difficulties of teachers in teaching the Units of Measure content and of students in learning this subject, which is the first curricular content in the 1st year of high school in the discipline of Physics. Most students are unable to assimilate that, in addition to calculations of unit transformations, there are other broader issues that permeate this theme, making them unable to seek relationships with situations in their daily lives. The work aimed to prepare a didactic sequence for teaching units of measure with an STS focus under the following focus question: “How to prepare a didactic sequence for a more conceptual approach to the topic of Units of Measure for the 1st Year of High School?” The methodological approach of the research is qualitative with the literature review as technical procedures, resulting in a didactic sequence on measurement units with a CTS focus. The great differential of our sequence is to rely on the BNCC, which brings in its text a search for work aimed at interdisciplinarity, bringing together contents and areas so that it can be worked on and make sense in the lives of students.
