UMA PROPOSTA PARA O ENSINO DE CONCEITOS DE FÍSICA A PARTIR DO ACELERADOR DE PARTÍCULAS SIRIUS PARA ALUNOS DO ENSINO MÉDIO

Abstract

In this research we present a sequence for high school students, focused on teaching and learning physics concepts from the understanding of how the Sirius particle accelerator works and how it produces Synchrotron light. During the explanations, several concepts in Physics that are related to Sirius are discussed from the transversal theme, thus, it is intended that the student better relate to the classes by learning in a meaningful way through the social critical pedagogical tendency of the contents . This information will be mediated from a short course, applied online or in person, using digital information and communication technologies, The preparation of this material takes place mainly through participation in the III Sirius School for High School Teachers, promoted by the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials, where the accelerator is located. Aiming to encourage the participation of participants in the short course, a gamification strategy was implemented in which students earn points throughout the short course and final prizes. Finally, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of the teacher being always up-to-date in the use of and seeking to contextualize the teaching of scientific concepts from the Science, Technology, Society and Environment (STSE) relationship to make learning learning.
