BULEGON, Ana Marli  and  TAROUCO, Liane Margarida Rockenbach. Contributions of learning objects give to rise the development of critical thinking in students in Physics classes. Ciência educ. [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.3, pp.743-763. ISSN 1516-7313.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320150030014.

In order to analyze the contributions of learning objects (LO) to raise the development of critical thinking in students in physics classes, we have developed a set of learning activities with the use of LO about the content of Thermodynamics. The activities were organized in the methodological model of the Three Pedagogical Moments (TMP) according to the cycle of Kolb. These were encapsulated in eXe Learning and available in Moodle to high school students in a public school in Rio Grande do Sul. The results of this study indicate that the use of LOs, inserted in learning activities, have contributed to the development of critical thinking skills such as attention, observation, evaluation, critical analysis, justification, importance, practical utility, synthesis, among others.

Keywords : Learning objects; Critical thinking; Learning activities; Physics teaching.
