Desafios enfrentados pelos alunos na transição do ensino médio para o ensino superior na disciplina de Física Geral 1

Abstract

This study sought to analyze the challenges faced by students in the transition from high school to higher education in the subject of General Physics 1, of the Production Engineering course, at the Institute of Exact Sciences and Technology (ICET). It problematizes how gaps in mathematical knowledge and adaptation to the new format of higher education impact the performance of students in the subject of General Physics 1 in the Production Engineering course? General objective of the work: To investigate through research the transition of students to higher education and which factors encompass their lag in the subject of General Physics 1, in order to obtain relevant data that can assist teaching and learning. We will highlight the methods that were successful and failed during the investigation, such as the semi-structured questionnaire with seven open and closed questions, direct observation and monitoring of General Physics 1, pointing out all the parameters chosen and discussed with the theorists who helped to support this work. The research will present the results obtained within the scope that concerns the specific objectives.
