Utilizando o software PictoBlox para o ensino de circuitos elétricos: uma Abordagem prática no ensino médio
(Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amazonas, 2025-10-07) Alencar, Renan de Melo
This work aims to investigate and explore an additional method for teaching physics, using technology through robotics to teach concepts and practices related to electrical circuits. The goal is to examine the potential of using the Pictoblox platform as a supporting tool in high school physics education. Given the challenges faced in the learning process of this subject, often characterized by abstract and decontextualized approaches, this study seeks to assess how the introduction of a block-based programming language, integrated with sensors and electronic components, can contribute to building physics knowledge in a more interactive, experimental, and meaningful way. Thinking about overcoming such obstacles and motivating high school students to study physics, we thought of using the software PictoBblox, a tool based on SCRATCH, which allows the development of programming in blocks, and also allows connection to boards (microcontrollers) Arduino. The use of the Arduino board will be of great importance in this research, as this is the time when students will need to exercise their knowledge about circuits and, by building and handling variations of these circuits, it will be possible to achieve significant learning on the topic covered. The option to promote a didactic sequence using this software to teach electrical circuits is based on the use of technology to make physics more attractive and understandable to students, making them not only understand the content, but also recognize the importance of learning it.

Tecnologias digitais: simulações virtuais como ferramenta no ensino da física
(Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amazonas, 2025-09-09) Coêlho, João Carlos Pereira
This study is based on the following scientific problem: can the use of virtual simulation technologies contribute to the teaching of Physics? Its main objective is to analyze the contribution of virtual simulation technologies to improving the learning of Physics concepts in the 1st year of High School, which leads to the following guiding questions: what studies already exist on the use of virtual simulations for Physics learning? Have research studies on this topic shown promising results? What teaching methodology supports the use of these simulations in the classroom? How can virtual simulations contribute to learning in the Physics class? To address these questions, the following specific objectives were established: to use interactive virtual simulations of physical experiments through a virtual laboratory; to explain Newton’s Laws using interactive digital simulations; to employ virtual simulations through videos from open platforms illustrating the real movement of the Solar System around the Sun and the Milky Way; to apply the proposed virtual simulations in the classroom; to identify whether virtual simulations motivate and arouse the curiosity of this new generation of students regarding Physics; and to verify whether virtual simulations contribute to Physics teaching. The study was conducted in four stages, over four lessons at the PublicSchool Prof. Ruy Alencar and in Public School Dr. José Milton Bandeira, with data collection carried out through questionnaires, and data analysis performed using a qualitative approach. As a contribution, the study proposes a solution based on the use of Digital Technologies (DT) for the implementation of virtual simulations, both through interactive virtual Physics laboratories and videos, aiming to make learning more dynamic and accessible, especially in complex physical phenomena. The research demonstrated that virtual simulations are fundamental in increasing students’ motivation and curiosity regarding Physics. By using interactive virtual laboratories and videos, it was possible to make teaching more dynamic and engaging, allowing students to visualize physical phenomena that are difficult to understand theoretically. The results revealed that students felt more interested and motivated when simulations were incorporated into the lessons, transforming learning into a more practical and exciting experience. Thus, simulations not only supported teaching but also sparked students’ interest in the subject, demonstrating that the integration of digital technologies is highly beneficial for contemporary education.
