Estudo diagnóstico da percepção dos professores de ciências sobre as aulas de laboratório na Escola Liceu de Itarema Valdo de Vasconcelos Rios

Abstract

The lab classes are a tool to complement the theory, which is extremely important to diagnose their performance on the learning of students, which is a complement of what was studied in class. From this premise, the present research aims to find out how the teachers were making use of the institution’s Science Laboratory and the assessment of student learning against these times. It is about an exploratory study of a case study. The subjects were a total of six school teachers Liceu de Itarema Valdo de Vasconcelos Rios who teach the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry or Biology and who used the lab. The results show that, despite some difficulties encountered by teachers, they can teach practical classes, and students, for the most part, are more interested on content that was seen only by the theory seen in the classroom. In addition, the teacher always seeks to assess learning in this activity through mainly questionnaires, observation and participation.
