Avaliação do curso de licenciatura em física: uma análise da percepção discente

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students’ perceptions of the challenges and progress in the Physics Teaching Degree program at the Federal Institute of Piauí – Angical Campus (IFPI/CAANG). The mixed-method research involved a questionnaire applied to 19 students in their ninth semester, with qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The findings indicate that many students choose the program due to a lack of alternatives, while the main difficulties include the complexity of the subjects, balancing work and study, and relationships with professors. To improve physics education, students suggest adopting active methodologies, increasing practical activities, and contextualizing content with real-life applications. The study highlights the need for curriculum adjustments and innovative teaching strategies to make learning more accessible and engaging, fostering the development of well-prepared and motivated teachers.
