A Física dos utensílios domésticos: Uma abordagem via os três momentos pedagógicos.

Abstract

The relationship between Physics and everyday life is often difficult to perceive, which makes teaching the subject a challenge. However, using everyday objects as teaching tools can bring students closer to scientific knowledge. This study focuses on the Physics of household utensils from the perspective of the Three Pedagogical Moments, targeting Youth and Adult Education classes. The objective is to analyze the impacts of using everyday objects in Physics education within this context. This approach can foster more active learning, allowing students to play a leading role in knowledge construction. The use of household utensils bridges the gap between students' daily life situations and provides a clearer understanding of the practical applications of Physics. This makes learning more engaging, enhancing student engagement and motivation. The study follows a qualitative didactic intervention, exploring topics such as heat propagation, heat, and temperature, using practical results in a real-world context. The analysis of the results indicates that the initial challenges in establishing the relationship between Physics and daily life tend to diminish when everyday objects are used as teaching tools. As a result, increased student interest, better content comprehension, and the ability to apply knowledge in different situations were observed.
