Análise da aplicação do método de Peer Instrution no ensino e aprendizagem da disciplina de Física no ensino médio (11ª classe): caso da Escola Comunitária Armando Emíilio Guebuza

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the method of Peer Instrution as an instrument to improve the teaching and learning of physics at the Armando Emílio Guebuza Community School. In order to achieve this goal, we first describe the Peer Instrution method in theoretical and practical aspects, then implemented the Peer Instrution method in physics classes; and finally, it was verified the effectiveness in the teaching and learning of physics at the Armando Emílio Guebuza Community School. In this applied research the author used the quantitative and qualitative approach, participated in the questionnaire 58 students of the 11th class and were interviewed 2 teachers who teach the discipline of physics. A teaching experience was conducted using the Peer Instrution method within 4 months. The results indicate that there was an active participation of all students and the collaboration of the students allowed to understand that the method can be easily implemented in high school, the results obtained through the calculations of the Hake gain (g) allowed to assess that the method allowed to obtain good learning results in the physics class at the Armando Emílio Guebuza Community School. Although the Peer Instrution method is a new reality for students and teachers of the Armando Emílio Guebuza Community School in the end it is concluded that it’s effective and can help to bring better results in teaching and learning the physics subject.
