Contributions of Didactic Engineering as a guiding element in the Teaching of Physics: studying the phenomenon of Meeting of Bodies with activities of Educational Robotics

Abstract This research had as objective to develop a sequence of teaching and learning of the phenomenon of the Meeting of Bodies in Uniform Movement, articulating elements of Didactic Engineering and the dynamics of experimentation, with Educational Robotics. The methodological design was guided by the stages of Didactic Engineering: Preliminary Analysis, Conception and a priori Analysis of Teaching Situations, Experimentation and a posteriori Analysis, and Validation, which guided the construction of the teaching and learning process, its implementation in contexts of a high school and its analysis. The results of our observations indicated improvements in the strategies of solving the questions involving the phenomenon of the Meeting of Bodies, from the structuring of the hourly equations of space of each robot and matching their positions to determine the instant of encounter. The elements of Didactic Engineering present in our investigations have allowed us to follow and plan teacher reworking needs to overcome obstacles and perceive gaps in conceptual comprehension. The use of robotics, as an educational tool, provided an environment of differentiated construction and experimentation for the approach of the phenomenon of Bodies Meeting.
