Utilização de experimentação em sala de aula, A : relatos de caso nas aulas de Óptica no Ensino Médio

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse how important is the experimentation in Physics classes at second year of High School of Escola Estadual Nilza de Oliveira Pipino during the afternoon period in Sinop - MT. Were applied different techniques in this study, at optical teaching, one was only theorical and the other one with the use of experimentation in class. After the conclusion of the classes, 31 students who participated in those classes had been asked to fill in a structured questionnaire with nine objective questions and three subjective ones. The survey shows the experimentation in classroom is more importantly, whereas the students demonstrated better understanding than when was used only the theory, and encouraged them to study. Due to lack of time load, the professionals in this area don't perform experimental activities in classroom. While researches show activities with low cost materials, easy of achievement, many teachers don't realize it. Even known that experimentation is important to development of know ledge, however is little used in the classroom. At last, it proposed to relate the activities in the classroom to student's daily routine, becoming possible the discuss those situations encountered, increasing interaction students x teachers, providing training of critical student ideas, making them citizens capable to discuss and find solutions to daily problems.
