Abstract

The theme of this study is the National Science Olympics (ONA): meaning for students and teachers of basic education in the development of skills in the school contents of the discipline of physics, bringing a discussion about the teaching-learning process in this discipline, in which, many times, it is still reduced to the teaching of concepts, rules and formulas worked away from the reality of the students, which has effectively contributed to the students just memorizing the concepts, not relating physics to their daily lives and not understanding the discipline. The National Science Olympiad (ONC) aims to awaken and stimulate students' interest in science subjects, based on competitiveness, and thus awaken in students the desire to learn more and more so that they can compete and be awarded. Therefore, it started with a bibliographic research, gathering information on the topic in relevance, as well as, by developing a field research from the application of a questionnaire through Google Forms involving students and teachers of the 1st Year of Education.
