Visitas ao setor de radiologia hospitalar como um recurso potencialmente significativo para o ensino de radiações ionizantes

Abstract

Whereas the school must train individuals prepared for the exercise of citizenship, it must display the contents more closely related to the daily life of the student. The objective of this work is to propose a didactic sequence to prepare and guide high school students to technical visit in a hospital radiology department as a potentially significant resource for the teaching of ionizing radiation, and increase the quality of training high school student from the life experiences that different sites of traditional classroom offer. The technical visit is a didactic-pedagogic resource that get great educational results, as students can observe the concepts discussed in class in a real environment, making it a more motivating and meaningful process for learning, causing it to expand the student the concept of integration, reflection and action, theory and practice as well. The systematization of the various stages of the work, both in terms of pedagogical practice and theoretical research, was based on the strategy of potentially significant teaching units. With the expectation of supporting other teachers who are interested in working the issue ionizing radiation, at the end it was generated as a product of this dissertation a didactic sequence in eight classes, which involve the prior preparation of the technical visit to the hospital radiology department, the visit itself, and further approach to consolidation of the contents. For the analysis of the results were used qualitative methods, such as the construction of concept maps, role play and building models.
