THE USE OF THE MOBILE PHONE AS A DIDACTIC RESOURCE FOR PHYSICS CLASSES

Abstract

Physics education requires numerous approaches to be taken during the term. However, structural issues in schools make teaching practice difficult, as they do not provide the means for diversified classes to take place, because in most cases physics and computer labs are lacking. This gives rise to opportunities such as low-cost material and media resources. Thus, the work in question is a description of the use of mobile phones as an interactive tool in physics classes. The purpose of this work was to demonstrate that using virtual objects in mobile phones we have a significant opportunity to reinforce the expository practices in physics classes. The application used was, PHYSICS IN SCHOOL LITE, because we find it free in the play store, and we can use it offline, so the system applications must be installed previously. In the application the teacher held lectures and verified with tests the emphasis of the applied methodology, through the collected data, the cell phone was used as reinforcement of the concepts exposed from the visualization of virtual objects. In the end it could be verified that the use of this resource presented significant results in the learning of the students.
