Analysis of the knowledge level of the physics course academics on eduScrum: a case study

Abstract

It is fundamental to address the difficulties encountered in the teaching of Physics considering the different aspects that constitute the teaching action, as well as its problems, and also the possibilities of effective changes and how current methodologies can contribute to improve the different levels of education. With this scenario in mind, it was offered a mini-course entitled “Methodologies for Experimental Physics” at the 6th Unified Scientific Event on the Journey of Physics on May 18, 2022, which was broadcast on the YouTube platform. It was presented three different methodologies: Project-Based Learning (PBL), Meaningful Learning Theory (MLT) and eduScrum methodology. This case study aimed to analyze the participants' level of knowledge about eduScrum through questionnaires before and after the mini-course made on the Google Forms platform. In the pre-test, it was concluded that none of the academics knew about eduScrum and in the post-test, there were relevant results for a possible use of eduScrum in experimental classes, composing then, a methodology that can contribute to the teaching of Experimental Physics and opening space for new studies on this field.
