  • Abstract
    This article presents a methodology based on the social interactionist theory of Vygotsky to qualify future Physics teachers, who are still coursing their graduate programs. The method is organized through educational robotics workshops that address Physical concepts through the use of low-cost educational robots along with several activities which are performed by students enrolled on the final periods of the Physics´ degree course of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte, Caicó campus.
