Uma proposta metodologica para a aprendizagem: reflexao sobre as praticas pedagogicas da Estatistica ao elaborar os instrumentos de pesquisa sociais

Abstract

Presents a differentiated teaching proposal that allows the student to be the agent in the construction of knowledge, overcoming the difficulties that Mathematics presents. Aiming to understand how the use of statistical tools can contribute to the improvement of the teaching-learning process and the construction of statistical knowledge, studied with students from the University Campus of Rondonopolis/UFMT. In order to reach the proposed objective, an analysis was carried out about the didactic activities in the teaching of basic statistics in which a qualitative-quantitative approach was chosen, focusing on everyday life, with the use of software, creation and simulation of models, as well as seeking to establish the frequency of the students' attitude, through questionnaires and a four-point Likert Scale, seeking data that would trace the profile of the actors involved that would help in the understanding of the planned didactic activities. The study is justified by the lack of methodological theoretical references on the subject in question. Didactic activities of Statistics were organized, whose applications took place in alternating classes, being traditional lectures and practical classes in a Computer Laboratory. Constituting the main focus of characterization and reflection of this scientific research during the teaching-learning process of Statistics. The results showed a correct attitude of the researched about the methodological strategies used, assumed with reference to the research/action design. This study contributed to motivate, awaken and answer questions and give meaning and understanding to works with Mathematical Modeling, as it can promote the improvement of the teaching-learning process and configures itself as an indispensable tool for education.

Johann Bernoulli's analysis of elastic collisions (a teaching sequence to introduce the dynamic law thereby inspired)

In order to explain an elastic collision, Johann Bernoulli considered two bodies connected by a spring. Motion is defined as a succession of states of rest. Then, considering the spring to be a lever with a body at each extremity, the laws of equilibrium imply that `motion' is described by the time variation of the (common) quantity of motion of the bodies; the dynamic law is thus deduced. This inspires a teaching sequence to introduce the dynamic law (in one dimension) in introductory physics course; we call it ``bernoullian sequence''.

Design and Initial Evaluation of a Photovoltaics-focused Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience in Physics

Traditional physics laboratory courses often focus on experiments with well-known results, limiting students' engagement in authentic scientific practices. Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), where students engage in real research with unknown outcomes, have been shown to support positive student outcomes, such as increased self-efficacy, persistence, and engagement in scientific practices. However, discipline-specific studies of CUREs in physics remain limited. We describe the development, structure, and initial implementation of a photovoltaics-focused CURE in a second-year undergraduate physics laboratory course at the University of Colorado Boulder. To examine how students experienced the course, we analyzed end-of-semester reflection assignments using the five CURE components (i.e., scientific practices, discovery, relevance, collaboration, and iteration), as well as established dimensions of research authenticity, as analytic frameworks. Students described experiences associated with all five CURE components, with collaboration, relevance, and scientific practices appearing most prominently in their reflections. Students also associated authentic research with meaningful scientific contribution, engagement in authentic scientific practices, and navigating the uncertainty and setbacks inherent in research, although fewer explicitly identified themselves as researchers or scientists. A subset of students additionally connected the course to their immediate thinking about future academic and professional pathways. This work contributes both a discipline-specific model for implementing CUREs in experimental physics laboratory courses and provides insight into how students interpret and experience authentic research within this course context.

A Workshop Series for Effective Use of AI in Uncertain Times: Building a Physics Faculty Learning Community

Generative AI tools are being widely taken up by students in their physics courses and beyond, often before instructors and institutions can develop policies and effective approaches for the use of these tools. Building on a framework for change in the era of AI, we developed and implemented a faculty learning community to help a university physics department address these challenges collectively. Over six biweekly sessions, faculty worked through course policies, classroom conversations about AI, AI-integrated coursework tasks, and assessment. Each session shared a common structure: we presented local data and department-sourced materials, tested them in small groups, and discussed them together, emphasizing durable pedagogical approaches over specific tools and platforms, and leading with evidence of students' own AI use. The series produced a shared, evolving repository of resources for faculty to draw on. This workshop provides an adaptable, theoretically informed model for a faculty learning community that departments can build on.
