The study of teaching practices and methodologies that aim to make Physics content
more enjoyable, accessible and bring improvements to the teaching and learning
process is always a topic of great relevance for professionals and scholars in the field.
Thus, guided by the conceptual aspects of the Theory of Meaningful Learning,
Potentially Significant Teaching Units and the Isly Method, this work aims to develop
an intervention proposal to analyze the teaching and learning process concerning the
study of Flat and Spherical Mirrors . This educational product was created in a way that
could make Physics teaching more attractive, dynamic and interactive, seeking to
promote a meaningful learning process for students. As an educational product, this
teaching proposal, which is composed of a didactic sequence and a portable experiment
kit, will be applied to a class of 40 students in the 2nd year of high school at Escola
Estadual de Ensino Médio em Tempo Integral Francisco de Assis Bittencourt in the
municipality of João Câmara/RN. In general terms, this work will be developed in three
meetings, where each one will work on a different theme. Each meeting will have the
following moments: Survey of students' prior knowledge, practical activity with
hypothesis raising, research in books and internet and socialization. Working with
Didactic Sequences that seeks to place the student as the protagonist of the teaching
and learning process is justified because, when working with this proposal, the teacher
will make use of a tool, which can represent an alternative to engage students in the
school environment. , enabling an efficient and satisfactory teaching and learning
process for the student. To evaluate the application of this work, a pre-test and a post-
test will be used, with open and closed questions with the aim of evaluating the students'
learning. In addition, in the post-test there will also be questions to identify the students'
perception of the educational product with the aim of evaluating whether this didactic
sequence was potentially meaningful for students.
