La optica de imagenes en la extension universitaria de Unicamp

TL;DR

This paper discusses a university extension activity called 'Holographic Exhibit' designed to motivate high school students by engaging them in experiments and applications of physics, especially optics, to connect science with daily life.

Contribution

It demonstrates how a university outreach program can effectively motivate high school students by linking physics concepts with social practice and daily life experiences.

Findings

Increased student interest in physics through hands-on activities.

Enhanced understanding of optics concepts among high school students.

Successful integration of experimentation and observation in outreach activities.

Abstract

The physics teaching particularly the optics teaching always have faced motivational problems, mostly due to the loss of the link between the social practice and the daily life of the student. Moreover, the laboratory practices have lost space in high school attributable to a lack of resources or caused by the fact that the main purpose of the high school is being no more than the access to the University. This work shows how an extension activity called "Holographic Exhibit" tries to motivate high school students by means of experimentation, observation and the application of physics concepts in daily life, awakening their interests to the general physics. La ensenanza de la fisica y en particular de la optica siempre ha enfrentado problemas de aspecto motivacional principalmente por la perdida del vinculo con la practica social y con la vida cotidiana del estudiante. Ademas, las practicas de laboratorio han perdido mucho espacio en la ensenanza media por carencias de las escuelas o debido a que tiene apenas como objeto el examen de ingreso a la universidad. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar como una actividad de extensi\'on universitaria llamada 'Exposicion de Holografia' intenta motivar a estudiantes de ense\~nanza media a traves de la experimentacion, observacion y aplicacion de conceptos fisicos en la vida cotidiana, despertando sus intereses por la f\'isica general.
