Física quântica no ensino médio: reflexão sobre artigos publicados e o potencial para formação de professores

Abstract

Quantum Physics’ teaching inclusion in high school has been widely discussed in the literature. However, there are several difficulties’ reports in implementing Quantum Physics in secondary schools, including didactic transposition to the secondary level. In this context, it is possible to believe that articles published in physics teaching magazines can significantly contribute to both: lesson planning and teacher training, and consequently to Quantum Physics’ inclusion in High School. Aware of that the teacher is the only one who is capable of carrying out movements in this direction, the objective of this paper is: (I) research articles on Quantum Physics’ high school teaching, in the “Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física” and in the “Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino Physics”; (II) classify, categorize and analyze the teaching practices’ potential, and; (III) develop a E-book named “Quantum Physics in High School: approaches, methodologies and a suggestion for Didactic Modules”, which includes articles’ suggestions with didactic proposals, support materials for the training and performance of teachers in High School and complementary literature, in other words, all teaching material that can support the teacher to prepare their Quantum Physics classes within the school environment inserted in their reality. After selecting the articles, a didactic sequence was created, inspired by the Didactic Moments foreseen by the Anthropological Theory of Didactics and its application to future teachers allowed us to observe that the articles had a classes planning’s positive influence in the Didactic Modules developed by the undergraduate students. It is possible to concluded that the articles can, in fact, contribute to the Quantum Physics’ inclusion in High School, offering good practices examples and consistent materials.
