Escolas públicas estaduais e federal do território Vale do Canindé: uma análise do ensino de física nas cidades de Oeiras e São João da Varjota-PI

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The objective is to know the reality of teaching Physics in state and federal public schools in the city of Oeiras and São João da Varjota-PI: the challenges and difficulties that teachers find in classes, the physical structure, use of laboratories and technologies, teaching materials and the methodologies adopted for the most recurrent situations, such as the lack of interest of some students in the curricular component. In this sense, the writing on screen, in addition to a bibliographic basis, results from a qualitative descriptive field research with a case study. Due to the pandemic caused by Covid-19, information was collected through forms with open questionnaires sent - via whatsapp and email, to teachers who work in the area. The results presented in tables and graphs show that there are still teachers with degrees in other areas teaching Physics, students with difficulties in interpreting calculations due to deficiencies in basic mathematics, students who prefer electronic games and social networks to the Physics class, reduced number of classes, absence of laboratories and inadequate physical structure in most schools and teachers who use simulators and virtual experiments as methodological strategies.

Keywords: Physics Teaching, Public Schools, Challenges, Physics Teachers, Methodologies.
