Construction of intercultural didactical material of physics at the tingui indigenous school of guaxuma

Abstract: 

In Brazil, the teaching of Physics is recognized as deficient, both concerning teacher education as students --- translated into the weak learning of the physical concepts related to its reality ---, and regarding the lack of intercultural educational materials aimed at Indigenous people. In general, the teaching of Physics is characterized by the excess of attention given to repetitive exercises, problems mechanically resolved, memorized in a literal and arbitrary way, to the detriment of a broader analysis that seeks to understand the Physical phenomena involved in Indigenous culture. We would particularly like to emphasize that in the Indigenous schools of the extreme south of Bahia, this fact is no different at all. Because of this problem in the learning process of Physical concepts, this work intends from the constructive criticism of natural language, adopting an alternative methodological approach of teaching intercultural Physics, introducing educational material of intercultural Physics in the class of the first year of the Tingui Indigenous High School in Guaxuma. The didactical operationalization of contents in baptized by the Ausubelian Theory of Learning believed to be the one that best adapts to the teaching of intercultural Physics.
