EXPERIENCE REPORT: DIDACTIC SEQUENCE FOR THE STUDY OF ELECTROSTATICS VIA GOOGLE CLASSROOM

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a didactic experience involving the development and implementation of a Didactic Sequence (DS) based on Zabala’s (2015) theoretical framework, focused on the use of technological resources applied to the teaching of basic electrostatics concepts. The proposal was carried out with a 2nd-year high school class from the Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental e Médio Cristo Trabalhador, located in Abaetetuba, Pará, Brazil. The DS was implemented through the Google Classroom platform, which enabled the organization and access to the proposed activities. Various resources were employed, including animations, simulations from the PhET Interactive Simulations platform, video lessons, and low-cost experimental guides, aiming to promote active and meaningful learning. The analysis of the results showed that the combination of technological resources with practical activities fosters knowledge construction, making classes more dynamic, interactive, and aligned with students' needs. Furthermore, the proposed approach contributes to overcoming traditional teaching methods, expanding teachers’ pedagogical repertoire, and providing a more critical, reflective, and contextualized teaching and learning process.
