Abstract

This project aims to develop applied studies about the role of mathematics on learning of Special Relativity by teaching-learning sequences (TLS-RR) in association with Prof. Pospiech's research group at Technische Universistat Dresden, Germany. Nowadays we are applying a second TLS-RR version made by our group in Brazil. This second version will be applied by Germany teacher. We will modify the TLS-RR aiming the development of mathematic structure skill to aplicate and data collection at real environment of application. In the sequence we will do the analisys and validation of changes like presented in the methodology. (AU)
