Física térmica no novo telecurso: propostas para a Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA)

Abstract

This paper presents how Thermical Physics is approched in the student`s book of the Novo Telecurso, material destinated to the youngsters and adults education. Some aspects considered as fundamentals to develop a student with a critical view and prepared him to the exercise his conscient citizenship were analised, such as: the relation between the physics topics and the student daily life, the approach of social implications in science and technology, discussions about the evolution of Physics concepts through time and the approach of physical phenomena by experimentation. The results point that those aspects, in a general view, are not present in the analised material. That way, with the intetion to give a complement to this material, some alternatives are shown - the theme approached and the utilization of educational projects.
