Description
Summary:The present study reports the development, application and evaluation of a didactic proposal to contemplate topics of the Theory of Restricted Relativity and the Theory of General Relativity in high school. The study was developed with a group of university students - future Physics teachers, in the inland Rio Grande do Sul. The approached problematic comes from the need to include these subjects in high school and takes into question the viability of approaching these topics in the suggested organization, involving learning situations consistent with this level of schooling. But specifically, the goal is to investigate the contributions of this didactic proposal as favoring learning and able to encourage academics to adopt it in future professional practice. Therefore, a qualitative investigation was used as a methodological reference, although numerical data were also used, but were analyzed in light of the interpretation of the phenomenon under discussion. As data collection instruments, the study uses the application of questionnaires (pre and post test), complete with records of the teacher-researcher in his logbook. The results indicate a significant evolution in the students' knowledge, which refers to the potentiality of the activity developed in terms of learning signs.
