Uso do software Modellus como ferramenta auxiliar nas aulas de energia

Abstract

This work refers to the insertion and use of technologies in teaching, learning, Energy Physics content. We use the Modellus educational software, which allows the execution of computer modeling and simulations as a technological tool. This work sought to research and analyze how the Modellus software can assist in learning of contents and specifically energy. The research was applied to the 4th period class of the Physics Degree course at IFG – Jataí, in the institution's mathematics laboratory. The research had as its theoretical basis Ausubel's significant learning and took place in case study modality. For data collection, a pre-test, a post-test, an evaluation questionnaire and the researcher's observations. The students had classes with the researcher, who introduced them to the software and instructed them through a tutorial, facilitating the process of understanding it. Classes took place dynamically and throughout During the process, students were able to resolve their doubts. At the end of the research, it was noticed a evolution regarding the use of the software, its commands and tools, in addition to an improvement in learning of physical Energy concepts by participants
