Análise do ensino de física no ensino médio: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The official documents and several published papers in the area of Teaching Physics drive the need for changes in teaching practices from the implementation of the LDB. In this work we analyse how is the teaching of physics in a public school. The study has four objectives: i) to expose the point of view of students, which promotes interest or disinterest in physics; ii) verify that students coming out of high school are learning physics according to Learning Theory significant Ausubel; iii) provide educational resources, suggested by the students, which may arouse their interest for physics classes; iv) produce a material that serves as a potentially significant instructional support for teachers based on student suggestions. The result of research shows that many students still do not like the discipline and they are coming out of Average Education with many difficulties in relating physical theories seen in living-class with their daily lives.
