SUMMARY:

 

This research seeks to investigate the contributions and limitations of a Potentially Significant Teaching Unit (UEPS) for the promotion of meaningful learning, regarding the teaching of acoustic physics. Among the cognitivist theories that take into account the students' prior knowledge, we highlight the theory of psychologist David Ausubel. Moreira (2012) states that the Ausubelian learning theory explains that new information interacts in the subject's cognitive structure, not with any prior knowledge, but with specifically relevant prior concepts. Ausubel sees this “storage” process as being highly organized, forming a kind of conceptual hierarchy, in which more specific elements of knowledge are linked to more general and inclusive concepts, ideas, propositions (OSTERMANN; CAVALCANTI, 2011). Seeking to contribute to Ausubel's studies, Moreira (2011) transposes the Theory of Meaningful Learning (SAT) to the classroom, developing the Potentially Significant Teaching Units (UEPS) based mainly on the TAS. UEPSs become a relevant strategy to provide a favorable environment for meaningful learning, as they are built taking into account fundamental cognitive processes for Ausubel's theory, such as: (I) teaching from what the student already knows; (II) introduce students to the most general and inclusive concepts first and progressively differentiate them throughout the teaching and learning process and (III) seek similarities and differences between the concepts, aiming at the simplification and reorganization of ideals (AUSUBEL, 2002; MASINI; MOREIRA, 2017; MOREIRA, 2017). Data for this research will be collected from Participant Observation by audio recording; Document Collection; Semi-structured Interview and Open Questionnaire. This dissertation project will be applied in basic education, in the second year of high school, where the concepts of acoustic physics are formally discussed. The High School Reference School, where the research is intended to be applied, is located in the Metropolitan Region of Recife-PE. The data will be analyzed in the light of the relevant theoretical framework and based on some elements of Bardin's Content Analysis (2011). We will use for the qualitative analysis of the concept maps the categories defined a priori by Calheiro (2014): Category A – concept maps that do not present correct relationships between the concepts or that do not present relevant subsumers; Category B - concept maps that show little evidence of meaningful learning; and Category C – concept maps that present satisfactory evidence of meaningful learning. To analyze the open questionnaire, we propose the use of Implicative Statistical Analysis (A.S.I), through the use of the computational software C.H.I.C - Hierarchical Implicative and Cohesive Classification (COUTURIER, BODIN and GRAS 2004).
