Abstract

The teaching of science and its practices allow the understanding of nature and the observation of life in various aspects. The school is the place of development of the student as a whole, this comes from the knowledge transmitted during the lessons and from all the experience lived in practice during the school period. This study aimed to evaluate the process of teaching science learning in public schools in the city of Parnaíba-Piauí, in grades 6 to 9. The students 'and teachers' perceptions about the methodological activities were evaluated by means of questionnaires, and an analysis was performed in order to know the constructive learning in this area. Models and didactic games were the resources most cited by teachers as alternative methods of teaching, however, the workload and the availability of resources were pointed out as the greatest didactic-pedagogical difficulties to work with alternative methods. Most of the students admitted to enjoy studying science, considered carrying out practical activities and presenting videos as better didactic resources, preferring to study in groups to better fix their learning. Science teachers have demonstrated an understanding of the importance of using innovative methods, while in the student view its use makes the learning process more attractive. In this way, the need for continuous search for teaching methods that promote greater school involvement, processes geared not only to the accumulation of knowledge, but to the acquisition of competences, capacity for reflection on the world and autonomy to make use of the acquired knowledge within the school
