Ensino de física nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental utilizando as aulas de atletismo

Abstract

There has been a long time talking about the teaching of physics to the early years, but there are few studies that report experiences in the classroom for effective teaching of this, especially when it comes to teaching physical concepts as content in Physical Education, in some schools are viewed as free play time, without controlling and exploiting. Studies such as those of Carvalho (2007), Rose & Rose (2005) and Takimoto (2009), among others, show that the teaching of physics in elementary school has been going through a lot of difficulties because students have a vision of something traumatic and difficult, and teachers do not find ways to make the most exciting classes, working heavy and tiresome manner, which has been a demotivating factor. Thus, students end up having no interest in science and the consequences have been disastrous. Students leaving the school uncritical and without the ability to apply knowledge in new contexts by having only trivial know ledge, with weak connections between the most important concepts and not scientific conceptions about the natural world. This demonstrates the need to find new ways to teach science in order to make this education more attractive for students from the rescue of taste for exploration, for discovery, curiosity. On this basis this paper proposes the teaching of physics from the early years of primary school aiming to better acceptance of this content in the following series, focusing on the use of physical education classes to teach some contents of Physics, such as speed, time, weight and strength, which, until then, would be difficult to teach in the context of the classroom. The purpose of this paper includes the presentation of a book for teachers of the early years as a possible alternative to minimize the deficiencies that might be the result of lack of motivation of students and teachers with respect to physical concepts in the early grades. In this we seek to develop a material that will serve as a starting point for teachers of early years upon their work in physics teaching.
