Abstract

It is believed that the school is an institution that plays a determining role within the social structure, whether conscious or not, where its function and capacity are seen as an important factor of social change in intellectual formation. With the perspective of social changes in intellectual formation, the educational product wishes to contribute to the teaching of Physics in educational institutions, especially in high school, in the understanding of the fundamental principles of the behavior of the light seen and studied in optics. Thus, developing and applying the educational software “Fundamental Principles of Light”, in a qualitative, quantitative and observant approach, at school, is one of the means of fostering intellectual knowledge. This educational product is intended to assist not only students but teachers in explaining the content of physics in the field of optics about the concepts of light and its propagation. As students, nowadays, are increasingly interacting with existing technologies, an educational software can be an additional tool that the teacher instigates the student's curiosity and the learning of the content. The process of construction and application of software (simulators) in schools occurred according to the proposed objectives, aroused the interest and taste of students, managing to improve their knowledge of this content.
