Análise da inserção da teoria sociointeracionista em atividades de laboratório de Física Básica em um Curso de Geofísica

Abstract

In this Study, the implication of the insertion of the socialinteraction theory in basic Physics laboratory activities which were implemented and contextualized open scripts in an undergraduate degree in Geophysics was analyzed. As material for the construction of the corpus analysis, we used the reports of laboratory activities, interviews with students and the participant observation. The development of scripts, in this perspective was grounded in Vygotsky's Social-interaction Theory which strives for social interaction as a starting point for learning. Under this theory, learning takes place first at the interpersonal level, then to be processed in intrapersonal level. The emphasis is on the teaching and learning process itself, without sticking too much in the outcome of the process. The results of this study highlights that the introduction of scripts in basic Physics laboratory activities, mediated by the social-interaction and contextualized theory, promoted a more effective learning of students, as well as the acquisition of scientific skill and attitudes, more efficiently than the traditional approach.
