DE SOUSA RODRIGUES DUARTE, Ingrid y MOTA POLITO, Antony Marco. An ausubelian approach for teaching electromagnetism in the causal interpretation. Rev. enseñ. fís. [online]. 2023, vol.35, n.2, pp.243-257. Epub 19-Dic-2023. ISSN 0326-7091. http://dx.doi.org/10.55767/2451.6007.v35.n2.43737.
We present the main ideas associated with a proposed Ausubelian approach to teaching of the phenomenology and laws of electro-magnetism, emphasizing their causal interpretation. The concepts of electrostatics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics, electromagnetic field and electromagnetic waves are progressively developed, assuming the central role of the concept of causality. By hypothesis, the principle of causality should function as an Ausubelian key which, acting as part of (potential) subsumption structures, we assume to be, in this context, effective in achieving what Ausubel understood as meaningful learning. To this end, we propose the use of a set of teaching instruments based on four experiments: the Van de Graaff generator/electroscope, the electromagnet/magnetoscope, the Faraday's experiment and the Tesla coil. These experiments should be represented by their respective experimental conceptual dia-grams. These, in turn, should be constructed based on theoretical conceptual diagrams, developed to structure electromagnetism according to causal interpretation. Specific parts of these teaching instruments can also be interpreted as advance organizers, depend-ing on the objectives and circumstances in which they be used.
