A importância das aulas práticas de Física nas escolas e, o estudo das condições em que se encontram os laboratórios didáticos para o ensino experimental de Física

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the importance of practical Science and Physics classes in student learning, as well as to assess the conditions of didactic laboratories in schools. The research highlights how experimentation contributes to the understanding of theoretical concepts, making teaching more dynamic and accessible. However, structural challenges, such as the lack of appropriate equipment and materials, compromise the quality of experimental education. The methodology used included a literature review and field research conducted in a high school, where interviews with teachers were carried out. The results indicated that teachers recognize the relevance of practical classes but face difficulties due to deficiencies in laboratory infrastructure. Students showed greater interest and engagement in experimental activities, reinforcing the need for investment in this area. It is concluded that improving laboratory conditions and teacher training is essential to enhance Physics education. It is recommended that educational policies prioritize the modernization of laboratories and active methodologies, promoting more qualified and inclusive teaching.
