Simulador computacional para o Ensino de Física: o Sandbox como ambiente de criação

Resumo

This work discusses the use of a 3D virtual environment in the formation of Physics teachers. Using a 3D simulation in the SANDBOX platform, Bachelors students in Physics of a federal public university were invited to work collaboratively, forming a group of two students, to solve a problem involving the projectile motion. Initial analysis shows that the chat tool allowed students a greater interaction collaborating in the learning process. In fact 79% of students felt that the experiment helped to understand the projectile motion concept.
