Abstract:
This work presents the combination of constructivist epistemology, Internet use and CmapTools, a software toolkit for building an integrated learning environment for work with students, to deepen the concepts of “gas laws”. Students who are involved in the construction of conceptual maps of physics are engaged in a creative process, and this can be challenging, especially for students who have spent most of their lives in learning by heart. The CmapTools Software Toolkit brings together the strengths of concept mapping with the power of technology, the Internet and World Wide Web. The software not only makes it easy for users to build and modify concept maps, but allows users to build their remote collaboration and publication, so that anyone can access with links to resources, to explain their content and other information for created conceptual map. CmapTools software tool can serve as a basis for a new kind of integration of Internet resources and all classroom experiences, physical laboratory, and outside them. In this present work we used the experimental approach followed by activities that allow students to construct their own structure of conceptual map using a list of concepts also mapping activities that are required students to complete the gaps in the structure of incomplete maps to assess the connections they make between important concepts.
