Perspectivas construtivas no ensino de Física: uma visão panorâmica

Abstract

This work consists of a brief passage through the main concepts of Constructivist theory, in its most varied facets, highlighting its importance in the educational field. For that, some fundamental reflections of this theory are presented in the conceptions of Piaget and Vygotsky. Thus, based on a bibliographic research, it seeks to analyze its diffusion in Brazilian education, identifying possible elements of it in the current official education documents and its application in the teaching of Physics. It was observed, then, that due to the current interest in teaching based on technical training and professional skills, constructivism gave way to new perspectives on education, a fact that does not cancel its presence even if discreetly in pedagogical practices and educational policies. Keywords: Constructivist. Physics Teaching. Official education documents
