Aprendizagem de eletrônica baseada em problemas em curso de formação profissionalizante nível médio

Abstract

Faced with the difficulties of the students' practical classes in the electronics discipline, of the Technical Course in Electro mechanics, Integrated Modality, of a State School of Professional Education, in a city in the interior of Paraná, this paper seeks to answer the following question: "From which way the project-based learning can help the student of a Technical Course in Electromechanical to understand, in a significant way, concepts of electronics "? The research was developed with the students who were in the fourth year of the technical course in electromechanics. The applied teaching approach during the second semester of the discipline was problem based learning, known as pbl or abp, and the problem proposed for the students' class was the construction of a project that could be used by them in a technical week carried out by the school. At first the project was divided into stages, being the presentation of an idea proposed by the students themselves, the search for information and knowledge to carry out the project and the execution of the project. During the execution of the steps, students undertook self-study and the teacher acted as facilitator. At the end of the construction of the project the students answered an evaluation questionnaire about the construction of the project, whose result was analyzed to observe the students' perception regarding the teaching method used. At the end of the research it was possible to observe that the perception of the teacher point of view was positive, and that the perception of the student point of view was partially positive, since the culture of traditional teaching is still very present in the behavior of the students and in the teaching philosophy of most educational institutions. In order to achieve success in the ABP approach, students and teachers need to work hard in the teaching-learning process, the teacher needs to be a mediator / facilitator, the learner must take the leading role of being responsible for their own learning and the educational institution needs to collaborate in order for this teaching proposal to be carried out. After the research was carried out, a notebook containing the teaching strategies was elaborated, with reflections and notes on the teaching methodology used.
