Construção de um cenário do processo de ensino/aprendizagem de física no ensino médio em escolas do Núcleo Regional de Educação de Laranjeiras do Sul/PR

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of the results of a research carried out with high school students and teachers who teach the discipline of Physics in three schools belonging to the Núcleo Regional de Educação de Laranjeiras do Sul/PR, aiming to build a scenario of the process of Teaching/Learning Physics in these high schools. In order to carry out this research, questionnaires were applied in order to investigate the student and teacher's point of view about the Physics discipline and Physics teaching. We apply the questionnaires to a sample of one hundred and twenty two students and four teachers. The questions were elaborated so as to fulfill our purposes to verify the main difficulties presented by the students to learn the contents in the discipline of Physics, to verify the relation of the same with the daily life and with the technologies; Demonstrate the use of textbooks in class; Find out if students know the difference between Physics and Mathematics. The results show that most students believe that teaching physics is important and most of them enjoy studying the discipline. The main difficulties presented are in relation to understanding how to use formulas and the conversion of units, to understand the definitions and to use it to solve the proposed problems. Understanding this scenario will enable teachers to plan actions that can help them improve their teaching practices.
