Bring to school the external world is still a challenge. Understand how technological systems work and how they can be applied in class, however, can bear fruit since elementary school. “One of the great fears of today still is that the student becomes blurred (with the use of mobile phones and tablets, for example). The major focus is not blocking, but use the tools as allies, “says Alisson Bezerra, research analyst and development of Ari System Sá Labs. The project is developing technologies to help and encourage learning.
It was this concept that combining Adeil Araujo, Professor of Physics of Elementary School and Middle Teacher Jocie walks of Meneses, developed with another teacher and six students, the study design and rocket fire aimed at Rocket Shows Brazilian Olympiad of Astronomy and Astronautics.
For him, it was not enough to see the equipment reach certain distances, but analyze with math and physical resources, as this occurred. What was possible with two applications for smartphones help.
Using the phone, students could generate graphs of release with various quantities (position, time, speed) and also have statistical data points by which the object passed. “This can be very productive for a teacher. The motivation of the student comes from lack of interest, because he does not see the actual application of knowledge, “said Adeil.
Education
According to Professor Alison Bezerra , one of the questions the interaction with new tools is whether there is really efficient pedagogical application. “We will search a lot about virtual reality, audio use, video, tablet. There is huge potential for things that can deploy, but no one knows if it really helps in learning. ” Among them is the use of games as educational tools. – The so-called “gamification”
“We are opening a Pandora’s box and dealing with the new,” said Adeil. Such tools take the reality closer to the students and therefore motivate studies. “Physics should be taught how to teach music: with instruments.” The teacher believes that it is possible to circumvent the structural deficiency of the public school, simply and efficiently compensate for the lack of equipment with the use of applications, as part of students’ daily life.
Weather learning
Solve problems with programming principles and technologies help results in the optimization of time in learning and problem solving, says Teixeira Júnior, coordinator of ITA classes / EMI and Organization of Educational Technologies Farias Brito . “Students learning to develop and organize thinking with the help of programming and development logic can replicate this model in any other discipline.”
An example is the study of history. Instead of learning facts alone, the student creates a line of relationship between them. “A logical correlation effect and consequence is created. (Concepts) will no longer be a one-dimensional plane:. The student will see them in space, “says Teixeira
Investing in the area still in elementary school, he points out, has a direct influence on the upper level. “If teaches (technology) early, causes a generation of college be better able to work with the latest technology.” (Mariana Freire)
