Ensino de ciências: desafios e possibilidades nos anos finais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

In the current contexto of digital mediapedagogical practices should seek to present students with different aspects, enabling the understanding, identification and reflection of reality. It is the role of the school to guide teachers, to foster their training, updating and improvement, providing pedagogical assistance, necessary resources, adequate number of classes so that the attendance to the individual difficulties of the students can be improved.The teaching of Physics in the public school system in Brazil has faced many challenges and difficulties. This work aims to investigate the challenges and difficulties of teaching Physics in high school, pointing out suggestions for its overcoming. For its development, bibliographic research was carried out based on the consultation of the scientific production available in Google Scholar and in the specific journals of Physics teaching. The results indicate the existence of a traditional teaching of the discipline with outdated pedagogical practices, which causes in the students, in most cases, a partial disinterest, if not complete, by the subjects taught. But it is possible to arouse the interest of the student by using the demonstration of experiments, the comparison of the results with the theory, as do the science fairs, as well as the oral and written activities, aimed at the exercise of language in an effective and contextualized way, because these strategies favor the autonomy of learning, motivate students and promote their engagement during Physics classes.
