THE USE OF PORTABLE EXPERIMENTS FOR TEACHING ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
Electric circuits, Three Pedagogical Moments, Physics Education.
The teaching of physics faces constant challenges in becoming more attractive and effective for students, especially in complex topics such as electrodynamics. This research investigates the impact of applying the methodology of the Three Pedagogical Moments and the ISLE (Investigative Science Learning Environment) approach in the teaching of electric circuits. The study adopts a methodology based on active experimentation, where students are encouraged to build hypotheses, test concepts, and connect new knowledge to pre-existing cognitive structures. The developed educational product focuses on the use of accessible materials and experimental practices that allow for the concrete visualization of electrical phenomena, promoting greater student engagement and understanding. The results indicate that guided experimentation, combined with challenge-based teaching and reflection, significantly contributes to the assimilation of concepts, demonstrating the relevance of active methodologies in improving the teaching of physics.
