Abstract

The use of some technological resources, and even including the use of textbooks in public schoolshas not presented satisfactory results over the years, which can be observed in students’ performance in assessments in the ambient non-school settings.Based on this contextand aiming to minimize the problems of the school learning, this work aims to the elaboration of a magazine in the format of comics in manga style to be used as a alternative methodology. The magazine was made with paradidate characteristics, aiming to promote learning from concepts of Physics, which are part of the curriculum of Science Teaching, in the series of Elementary School II. The methodology was applied in 9th year of the Public School of Elementary and Middle Education called Rio Tocatins (Marabá-Pará). For the development this work, we admit the theory of significant learning of the psychologist David Paul Ausubel (1918-2008). From the results, we conclude that the comics can be used as a tool for learning.
