Materiais semicondutores: uma abordagem para o ensino médio

Abstract

This work consists of a proposal to insert Modern and Contemporary Physics to the High School educational system, comprehending the development, application, and analysis of results obtained from an educational sequence created for the teaching-learning process of a topic related to semiconductor materials. Technological appeal was taken into consideration when choosing the topic, since several day-to-day applications by students result from these materials, which are present in many electronic devices. The educational sequence in this thesis was developed with two classes, each with approximately thirty students in their senior year of High School, from the Escola Estadual Dom Delfim, in Itumirim, Minas Gerais. As a result, we observed that this work may contribute to the students‟ teaching-learning process by relating their theoretical content to technological and social advancements. Thus, the material in this thesis may help the teacher choose strategies to approach the topic, as well as ease, challenge, and promote the students‟ understanding on the content.
