The novel in the teaching of Modern and Contemporary Physics: a methodological proposal

The teaching of Physics in Brazil is focused on memorization and preparation for tests, making the teaching process superficial learning. The concepts are taught most of the time without a contextualization and an approximation with the everyday, and still in Basic Education traditionally Modern and Contemporary Physics (FMC) is not a mandatory part, in view of its complexity in concepts and formulas. Given this context, this research proposes the use of paradidactic readings as a methodology to work FCM in Basic Education. The research took place remotely with 80 students, with the use of a novel by her own authorship, where FMC themes are addressed. The work aims to present the concepts of FMC, with a more accessible, inspiring language, aiming at learning physical phenomena through reading. The results showed a percentage of correctness greater than 75% for the phenomenological and content issues. However, it is known that the teaching of Physics is challenging and that this proposal does not solve all the problems, but it may be one of the ways to better consolidate the teaching of this science, which has much to contribute to the development of society.
