Uma sequência didática com uma peça de teatro para a abordagem da discussão entre as teorias geocêntricas e heliocêntricas

Abstract

Teaching and learning the dynamics of the functioning of natural phenomena most of the time requires the use of a language basically based on mathematical tools, especially at the high school level, where teachers in this teaching phase must make use of didactic-pedagogical tools that can enhance the entire teaching-learning

process. Through the educational product, students and teachers have a Didactic- Pedagogical tool to understand the historical context of the development (and the

debate) of the cosmological models of the solar system, which are of great relevance for the teaching and learning of the contents inherent to Universal Gravitation ,especially with regard to the historical part of the referred subject. The present work

aims to develop a Potentially Significant Teaching Unit, UEPS, containing a Didactic- Pedagogical apparatus in the form of a theatrical play so that teachers of the first year

of high school can explore the debate that took place between Geocentric and Heliocentric theories.thus enabling a significant understanding of both theories. The application of the aforementioned UEPS led, in general, to an increase in students' knowledge of the Solar System and the evolution of different views of the Universe over time. The didactic sequence is constituted as a didactic-pedagogical tool with great potential for significant learning.
