Desenvolvendo competências em Física por meio da programação: Um estudo sobre o uso do Scratch na educação

Abstract

This text presents the implementation and evaluation of a didactic sequence for teaching Physics, using the Scratch platform, which is a block programming language, as a pedagogical tool. The main objective is to explore the contributions of Scratch, which is classified as a Digital Information and Communication Technology, in learning physical concepts, as a way of promoting active learning. The didactic sequence was applied in two in-person meetings, carrying out proposed activities and collecting student opinions. The results obtained demonstrated that the use of the Scratch tool promotes active and meaningful learning of physical concepts by students.
