Aprendizagem potencialmente significativa de óptica geométrica em laboratório

Abstract

This work presents results of an exploratory result integrated in a broader research that aims to Significant Learning Promotion in Physics, focused on Experimental Work in Geometric Optics. It is done a detailed description of the theory of meaningful learning in the classic vision of David Ausubel and the possible epistemological obstacles that can occur in an exploratory activity. With the present study it was made a survey of learning situations in the classroom in the field of physics, based on experimental work. To obtain opinions were applied questionnaires to high school students regarding the subject. In the development of the work were developed by the students concept maps and a workshop with camera escura (sic).
