AMBIENTES DE MODELAGEM COMPUTACIONAL NO APRENDIZADO EXPLORATÓRIO DE FÍSICA.

This paper presents, initially, different frameworks about the interface Technology and Science into the educational context, followed by the report of three independent experiences related to the study of the use of computer modelling in Science teaching. These experiences, focusing on knowledge, not on technology, happened in a specific moment when the striking advance of computer technology brought computers into classrooms. Subsequently, it is presented a report about the development of a research program about the infusion of computer environments in Physics teaching based on the use of quantitative, semi-quantitative and qualitative computer modelling environment into the Brazilian context [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
