PROCESSO ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM DE FÍSICA MODERNA APOIADO EM EXPERIMENTOS E SIMULAÇÕES VIRTUAIS.

Abstract

Studies show that Engineering students presentdifficulty in the integration and understanding of conceptsassociates to the physical processes. The difficulties of thestudents have as cause its personal interpretations of thephenomena, the alternative conceptions, that result of itsexperiences in the daily one or its inability to understand themodel and to pass of a level of representation to another onewhen they search to interpret the process that describes thephenomenon. In this work the difficulties of students hadbeen analyzed of Engineering in the learning of someconcepts of the Modern Physics. The use of the computerand in special of simulation of experiments is importantfactors for the motivation of the learning and the use of thisnew technology must be made in balanced and neverexclusive way.Word-key - Physics, Educational Technology, modeling,simulation.
