Analogias da corrente elétrica em livros didáticos de física para o ensino médio

Abstract

This CBT examines the use of analogies from electrical current found in physics textbooks recommended by PNLEM 2012/2014. Carried out a literature review in ten books containing the topic electric current and / or electrical circuit. We analyzed indexes, text, photographs, illustrations and exercises. The analysis, performed readings and reflections intend to leverage the rational and systematic aiming these analogies help the teacher in knowledge and use of this teaching tool. The results indicate textual and pictorial analogies, but without an approach compatible with the teaching methodologies specific to the use of analogies. So, are opening up new possibilities of research, especially in regard to test these analogies in the classroom with appropriate methodology.
