Modelagem 3D do olho humano: uma proposta de recurso didático para o ensino de óptica geométrica.

Abstract

This work is based on the principles of Geometric Optics to explain vision and refractive defects such as myopia and hyperopia, relating them to the physiology of the human eye. The main objective was to produce a 3D-printed teaching resource for teaching Geometric Optics. To this end, a proposal was drawn up for a teaching resource that addresses the characteristics of light refraction, in order to explain how vision occurs. It also highlights the advantages of 3D printing technology in the educational field. This work explores the interdisciplinary relationship between Physics and Biology, using the human eye as an object of study, and highlights the importance of interdisciplinary lessons. The production of the teaching resource, which includes the process of modeling and printing the parts, was carried out in the IF Maker laboratory at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Amapá (IFAP), Macapá Campus. To evaluate this resource, a form was applied to physics teachers using Google Forms. The conclusion and evaluation indicate that this resource can be useful and has great potential for application in the teaching of Geometric Optics in the classroom.
