Experimental and computational activities in the context of the indissociation of electricity and magnetism with students of a degree course in natural sciences

Abstract

This work addresses the teaching of the indissociation of electricity and magnetism through the integration of experimental and computational activities. This paper is part of a professional master's study in teaching exact sciences, from the University of Vale do Taquari. The study was carried out at the University of the State of Amapá, municipality of Macapá. The objective of this research is to reflect about results obtained in the sequences of practical activities developed with academics from the 4th semester of the Natural Sciences Degree course through the integration of experimental and computational activities in the context with indissociation of electricity and magnetism. The research developed has a qualitative nature. For data collection and analysis, POE guides were applied during the development of pedagogical activities with the use of experimental and computational activities. The results of the experimental and computational activities showed the possibility of its integration, since academics were able to have a non-linear and holistic view of the indissociation of electricity and magnetism and a better understanding of the more specific contents of electromagnetism. It is concluded that the experimental activities and the computational activities aroused the interest, provided the social and intellectual interaction of the students.
