Proposta de uma UEPS para desenvolver os temas densidade e pressão no ensino médio

Abstract

This work proposes a Teaching Unit following the principles of the Potentially Meaningful Teaching Units (PMTU) proposed by Moreira (2011), having as a guiding axis the teaching of density and pressure content. The theoretical reference used is that of Significant Learning Theory. The data collected from the application of the PMTU in the classroom will be treated in a qualitative approach based on the case study analysis of the proposed activity in its context, in order to determine or test the elements that define a potentially significant material in a first year of high school. An initial questionnaire will be carried out initially to identify the students' previous knowledge. Next, the preparation and implementation of the PMTU in the classroom will be carried out and finally, a final questionnaire will be applied to verify signs of significant learning and conceptual evolution of the students. It is expected, from the implementation of the PMTU, to identify evidence of significant student learning throughout the teaching and learning process.
