Estruturas metodológicas direcionadas ao ensino de cinemática para educandos diagnosticados com TDAH : utilizando o modellus como interface interativa entre a teoria e a experimentação

This dissertation begins from the hypothesis that, once the proper pedagogical support is applied, students diagnosed wit Deficit of Attention/Hyperactivity are able to learn the contents of the discipline of Physics in High School. The theoretical contribution departs from Carl Rogers, he believe that, for an effective learning, the student needs to break with the figure of the “patient” and adept that of the “client”, as well as the idea that the subject is the actual agent of the actions, responsible for the decision making process, not just waiting for the teacher to decide. In addition, it was considered the beginning of the theory of meaningful learning of Ausubel. Equally important is the understanding of the etiology and symptoms of the Deficit of Attention Syndrome, as well as the legislation on the subject. For the evidencing of the initial hypothesis, a field work was done, which began with a questionnaire answered by the Physic teachers of some schools in the Distrito Federal (DF). From the answers obtained, it became evident the necessity of the present work, aiming to become a support for the understanding of the characteristics of the Deficit of Attention Syndrome and also as an effective model of actions directed towards this student, departing from actions built with based on the most evident characteristics of the syndrome. Kinematic was chosen as the content as it is an initial knowledge, which demands a good learning and a high degree of mathematical abstraction, once the lack in this content compromises the learning of the subsequent subjects on the course of Physics in High School. Beginning with this choice, a group of students was appointed for the application of a specific teaching plan. This choice derives from the fact that the students present a diagnose of Deficit of Attention Syndrome, enrolled in a private school, who were not learning properly the content presented in conventional classes. The methodology was applied in five Fridays, in the contrary round of classes, with a duration of two hours each meeting. At the end of the work, it was possible to observe a great advancement of the students regarded to the understanding of the physical phenomena studied in Kinematic, which proves the efficiency of the methodology applied.
