Desenvolvimento da biblioteca AcliveJS para simulações de fenômenos físicos

Abstract

Often the Teaching-Learning process about a certain physical phenomenon is compromised due to the students' difficulty of abstraction. In these cases, you can use media resources, whether in the form of videos or computer simulations. The use of these technologies seeks to facilitate the understanding of what is being studied. Based on this principle as the final product of the Master's dissertation, a javascript library, AcliveJS, was developed, whose purpose is to enable teachers to show or develop simulations of physical phenomena through internet browsers. The objective of this work is to present the AcliveJS simulation tool and to show the teacher how to develop a simulation through an example. Aim the results obtained from the application of the tool in the classroom and discuss the acceptance, advantages and disadvantages of using the tool. It is hoped that this work will be an invitation for the teacher to improve his professional practice and to incorporate more and more the use of new media resources in Physics Teaching, favoring the study and the reflection on the part of the students.
