Matéria e radiação: articulação entre física e saúde na perspectiva de uma prática docente reflexiva

Abstract

According to the PCN Health is a transversal theme, that is, should permeate all curriculum subjects, in this case the teachers of the discipline of physics must also do everything possible to include the Health Education in their classes. This research presents and discusses the construction, implementation and evaluation of teaching modules that correlate to the Health with Physics. This link was made from the Structurer Theme of PCN+ "Matter and Radiation", within which was chosen specifically the subject "Ultraviolet Radiation" and, within this topic was conducted the integration with the theme Health. The beginning of the study was given through studies and reading of articles on the themes "Science Education" and "Health Education". There was the search for articles on the integration of the discipline of physics with the Health in periodicals and journals of Teaching Physics and Science Education , showing the reduced number of publications using his interterface. The second stage of research was the development and implementation, in the classroom, of teaching modules where the main subject was "The Ultraviolet Radiation and Health Consequences" integrating content with Modern Physics and biological effects in the human body. The teaching modules have been developed and implemented in a class of second year of high school a private school in Rosario do Sul RS. During and after the implementation, teaching modules were evaluated by a reflective teaching practice, where the weak points were analyzed with a view to redesigning and restructuring activities.The prospects for continued work are the improvement of educational materials produced, expanding the list of issues with the Health and Physics.
