In this context, the supervised curricular stage requires the compulsory presence, according to the legislation. This research presents a methodological proposal based on George Kelly's Theory of Personal Constructs, whose objective is to analyse the contributions of the experience of the Supervised Curricular Stage V, organised and based on Kelly's Experience Cycle (KEC), towards the construction of a reflexive teacher's practice, as well as to relate the conceptions of managers and classroom teachers of stage field schools, about aspects that favor and/or difficult the performance of the graduate students in the school. Participated in the study a representative of the Executive Secretary of Education, six school principals and six classroom teachers from stage field schools, who took part in the first phase. Besides these, nineteen licentiate students from the course of Licentiate in Physics from UFRPE/UAB also participated in the second phase. The methodology used was organised as a KEC, which has five phases, allied to the work of Cooperative Group. The analysis of the results showed the need for integration between the institutions involved in the formation process of the future teacher. The reflective process started by the KEC enabled the evolution of conceptions of licentiate students/trainees, contributing to their learning. / A Educação a Distância (EAD) apresenta-se como uma modalidade de educação que proporciona novas oportunidades de acesso a cursos superiores e formação continuada. Nesse contexto, o Estágio Curricular Supervisionado precisa da obrigatoriedade de momentos presenciais, de acordo com a legislação. Esta pesquisa apresenta uma proposta metodológica, baseada na Teoria dos Construtos Pessoais de George Kelly, que tem como objetivo analisar as contribuições da vivência do Estágio Curricular Supervisionado V, organizado com base no Ciclo da Experiência Kellyana (CEK), para a construção de uma prática docente reflexiva, assim como relacionar as concepções de gestores e professores regentes de escolas campo de estágio, acerca de aspectos que favorecem e/ou dificultam a atuação do licenciando/estagiário na escola. Participaram do estudo um representante da Secretaria Executiva de Educação, seis diretores de escolas e seis professores regentes de escolas campo de estágio, que fizeram parte da primeira etapa. Além desses, dezenove licenciandos do curso de Licenciatura em Física da UFRPE/UAB também participaram na segunda etapa. A metodologia utilizada foi organizada como um CEK, que possui cinco fases, aliado ao trabalho de Grupo Cooperativo. A análise dos resultados revelou a necessidade da integração entre as instituições envolvidas no processo de formação do futuro professor. O processo reflexivo desencadeado pelo CEK possibilitou a evolução das concepções dos licenciandos/estagiários, contribuindo para sua aprendizagem.

The methodology includes lectures on the data show, practical classes through low-cost experiments performed in groups, conducting analysis of experimental data and construct graphs with the computer, discussion of experiments and preparation of reports. During the development of these activities the students could count on the cooperation of the teacher and classmates. The experience of the implementation of this work shows that it is possible to use low-cost experiments on the mechanics teaching, motivating students to confront their previous knowledge with the physical phenomena the light of theoretical concepts providing a critical learning and a better reading of the world that about. / Neste trabalho apresentamos um produto educacional destinado ao professor de Física, para servir de apoio durante a preparação de aulas com experimentos de baixo custo no ensino de mecânica. O material foi aplicado no segundo bimestre do ano de 2015 em uma turma do primeiro ano do Curso Técnico de Informática Integrado ao Ensino Médio do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia, Campus Belo Jardim. Tendo como objetivo proporcionar ao aluno uma experiência prática atrelada a realidade física vivenciada no cotidiano. O referencial teórico adotado baseia-se na teoria de aprendizagem de Lev Semyonovitch Vygotsky, que é fundamentada na interação social entre os indivíduos, levando-se em consideração o conhecimento prévio (nível mental) dos alunos averiguados através do pré-teste. A metodologia compreende aulas expositivas no data show, aulas práticas através de experimentos de baixo custo realizadas em grupos, realização de análise dos dados experimentais e construção de gráficos com o computador, discussão sobre os experimentos realizados e confecção de relatórios. Durante o desenvolvimento dessas atividades os alunos puderam contar com a colaboração do professor e dos colegas de turma. A experiência da implementação deste trabalho, mostra que é possível utilizar experimentos de baixo custo no ensino de mecânica, motivando os alunos a confrontar seus conhecimentos prévios com os fenômenos físicos a luz dos conceitos teóricos proporcionando uma aprendizagem crítica e uma melhor leitura do mundo que os cerca.

Orientador: Roberto Nardi / Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar como os futuros professores de Física interagem com a produção acadêmica, relacionada às atividades experimentais no Ensino de Física e, também, como se beneficiam dela para o planejamento e desenvolvimento de aulas de estágio. Para tanto, procuramos responder a duas questões: que sentidos são atribuídos por futuros professores de Física ao papel das atividades experimentais? Quais noções de pesquisas são mobilizadas, durante o planejamento das atividades de regência do estágio? O contexto de produção desse estudo organiza-se durante as atividades da disciplina de Estágio Supervisionado, no qual os licenciandos planejaram e ministraram um minicurso, em duas escolas de diferentes contextos: Colégio Técnico, com alunos do ensino médio e um Centro Educacional de Jovens e Adultos. O corpus da pesquisa foi constituído, a partir dos discursos produzidos por um grupo de licenciandos, em diferentes contextos de produção: antes da atividade da regência, por meio dos planos de aula; após a regência através de questionários; e, ao final da disciplina de Estágio, por meio dos relatórios finais; além das transcrições dos encontros de reflexão promovidos na universidade. A análise dos dados foi realizada, a partir dos princípios teóricos e metodológicos da Análise de Discurso pecheutiana. Assim, os resultados mostram que ao planejar as atividades do Estágio, os futuros professores têm como proposta realizar atividades experimentais, sob uma perspe...

Therefore, we seek to answer two questions: what meanings are attributed by future physics teachers to the role of experimental activities? What notions of research are mobilized during the planning of the teaching activities of the internship? The context of production of this study is organized during the activities of the Supervised Internship discipline, in which the future physics teachers planned and taught a mini-course in two schools in different contexts: Technical College with high school students and an Educational Center for Youth and Adults. The research data was constituted from the speeches produced by a group of future physics teachers in different production contexts: before the teaching activity, through lesson plans; after, through questionnaires; and at the end of the Internship discipline, through the final reports; in addition to the transcripts of the reflection meetings held at the university. Data analysis was performed based on the theoretical and methodological principles of Pecheutian Discourse Analysis. Thus, the results show that when planning the activities of the Internship, the future teachers propose to carry out experimental activities from an investigative perspective, however, in their tea...

The strategic goal of the research presented in this diploma thesis is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of physics teaching at secondary schools. During the research, we focused on the following two questions: Which quality parameters are typical for teaching led by physics teachers whose students continue their studies at MFF UK? How do teachers affect students gifted in physics and motivated for it? A case study was chosen as the research plan. Specifically, we focused on teaching of three teachers, whose students continue to study physics at university to an increased extent. The quantitative part, in which the pedagogical observation of teaching took place, was led as ex-post-facto research. This was followed by a qualitative part, in which semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Thanks to them the obtained information was put in a broader context. The research results showed that fulfillment of several parameters is common for the teaching of all the teachers (e.g. physics expertise, mathematics model, abstraction, students' expressing), in other parameters their teaching differs (e.g. teaching aids, lecturing, students' interest, use of assessment) and some parameters are almost non-existent in teaching (e.g. work with text, heuristic method). Several research...

The main purpose of this diploma thesis is to obtain information on how Matfyz can improve its cooperation with high school students and their physics teachers to increase students' interest in physics. To obtain these information a questionnaire was sent to physics teachers, who had been mentioned by Matfyz students as teachers who had had a positive effect on them. The questionnaire itself consists of four parts - events for students, events for physics teachers, Mat- fyz activities, and teaching. The data was processed using both quantitative and qualitative methods, whereas larger part of research was build on quantitative methods. The collected data showed that according to respondents the most im- portant task is to focus on non-Prague students. Thus, organizers should organize events in various places in the Czech Republic or use modern technologies and organize events on-line (that also applies to events for physics teachers). High school students might also meet with scientists and university physics students, visit laboratories except for visitors' days (e. g. during excursions, internships) or have an opportunity to find out how physics in companies is used. Respondents expressed support for writing a new physics textbook on Matfyz, one containing more difficult parts for talented students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate physics teachers’ (TPCK) and their learners’ achievement in electricity. A purposive sample of 42 Grade 11 physics teachers and 1423 learners participated in the study. An explanatory mixed method research design was employed in the study to collect data. A survey questionnaire (PTTPCKQ), consisting of six-point Likert scale questions, was answered by participating teachers. Similarly, their learners responded to a confirmatory questionnaire (LCPTTPCKQ). The learners also responded to the Electricity Learning Confirmatory Questionnaire (LELCQ) and wrote an achievement test called Learner Electricity Achievement Test (LEAT). The data collected was analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitatively, it was found that a positive, statistically significant relationship existed between physics teachers’ experience and their learners’ achievement [Spearman’s rho (42) = .39, p = .011] as well as physics teachers’ TPCK and their qualifications [Spearman’s rho (42) = .33, p = .003]. There was also a positive statistical relationship between physics teachers’ TPCK and learner achievement, yet this was not statistically significant. There were positive, statistically significant relationships between all the constructs of the physics teachers’ TPCK and their TPCK from the analysis of the PTTPCKQ. There were positive statistically significant relationships between all the constructs of the physics teachers’ TPCK and their TPCK, according to the analysis of the LCPTTPCKQ. Furthermore, comparing the learners’ responses on the LCTTPCKQ and their teachers’ responses on the PTTPCKQ, it was found that both learners and teachers provided similar responses for all the constructs of TPCK except TCK. Qualitative data analysis further revealed that the technologies used by these teachers were PhET Simulations, YouTube Videos, Power Point Presentations, Interactive White Boards, and Mindset Videos. Finally, between 12.9% and 5.2% of the learners reported that their teachers had neglected to teach some sections of the electricity in the curriculum. / Mathematical Sciences / Ph. D.
