HOW DO GLASSES WORK? - THE 3 PEDAGOGICAL MOMENTS AND 3D PRINTING AS ALTERNATIVES FOR THE TEACHING OF OPTICS IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION

Science Teaching. Optics. Corrective Lenses. 3 Pedagogical Moments.

Eyeglasses are extremely important tools for those who wear them. The lenses, present in glasses, are structures that also make up digital cameras, smartphones and, in a way, also our eyes. The study of human vision and corrective lenses was recently adopted as an object of knowledge for the 6th year of elementary school by the National Curricular Common Base - BNCC, an object of knowledge that was previously only used in high school. Despite being quite present in our reality, understanding the functioning of lenses, the vision problems that make them necessary and even the structure of the human eye, is still challenging, especially with children and preteens who are developing abstraction ability. As a way of contributing to the teaching-learning process of optics in the 6th year of elementary school, bringing together topics from the students' daily lives to what is worked in the classroom, we propose an educational product based on the 3 Pedagogical Moments (3MP): Initial Problematization; Knowledge Organization and Knowledge Application combined with the use of 3D modeling and printing resources. It is expected that from this dialogic-problematizing approach, the concepts and abstractions necessary to understand the capture of images by the human eye will be worked out in a more attractive and concrete way, which causes vision problems and the way in which lenses correct them.
