Resumo: | New methods for high school and college Physics instruction engage students in understanding the physical world by constructing and using scientific models to describe, explain, predict and control physical phenomena. Modelling many particle systems involves the need to introduce statistical approaches and to look at reality in a probabilistic way. This paper reports a teaching approach in which the history of Physics is used as a Case Study in order to allow students to assimilate a given sequence of thought long enough to feel that it has a context and a surrounding logic of inquiry and experience. This approach focuses on Boltzmann’s conjectures and reasoning aimed at introducing his stochastic models in a mechanist era. The kind of conjectures chosen are described and the structure of our teaching approach is outlined. It will also involve the pedagogical tools prepared in order to make workable the approach even for students not familiar with combinatorial and permutational calculus. Preliminary results of the first pilot test in two Courses for teacher training are also described |

Modelar um sistema de muitas partículas envolve a necessidade de introduzir aproximações estatísticas e olhar a realidade de uma forma probabilística. O presente artigo expõe um modelo de ensino em que a história da física é utilizada como um “estudo de caso”, no sentido de permitir aos alunos conviver com uma seqüência de pensamentos, num contexto e numa lógica de interrogação e experiência. Este modelo focaliza as conjecturas de Boltzmann e o seu raciocínio baseado em modelos estocásticos em uma era mecanicista. São descritos estes tipos de conjecturas escolhidos e a estrutura de nosso modelo aproximativo e ensino é posta junto com ferramentas didáticas preparadas no sentido de familiarizar os estudantes com o cálculo combinatorial e permutacional.

New methods for high school and college Physics instruction engage students in understanding the physical world by constructing and using scientific models to describe, explain, predict and control physical phenomena. Modelling many particle systems involves the need to introduce statistical approaches and to look at reality in a probabilistic way. This paper reports a teaching approach in which the history of Physics is used as a Case Study in order to allow students to assimilate a given sequence of thought long enough to feel that it has a context and a surrounding logic of inquiry and experience. This approach focuses on Boltzmann’s conjectures and reasoning aimed at introducing his stochastic models in a mechanist era.
