Open educational resources for Physics Education: an extension course for brazilian and colombian undergraduates

Abstract

This paper aims to present an experience report of the design and implementation of a distance learning course focused on Open Educational Resources (OER) and based on Etienne Wenger's Social Theory of Learning. The main goal was to bring together Brazilian and Colombian undergraduates to start a future Community of Practice around the use of OER in physics education. The course was carried out in 30 hours over the period of twelve weeks with the enrollment of 40 pre-service physics teachers. As main activities, we can highlight the collaborative work involved in the search for classroom problem-situations, faced by physics teachers at high school, that can be tackled using OER, as well the elaboration of the respective plans solve it. All joint activities were carried out in virtual and open- source digital platforms. After the end of the course, some of the participants demonstrated interest in to keep in touch and have been working together to date.
