Uso de experimentos no ensino de física: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

Abstract

This research investigated, through a systematic literature review, researches focused on the use of experiments in the teaching of Physics in high school. The objective was to investigate the contributions and limitations of the use of experimental activities for teaching and learning in Physics. For this, a review was carried out in high-impact journals in the field of Physics teaching and Science teaching (periodicals with qualis A1 and A2), referring to the latest Capes classification that appears in the Sucupira Platform. For the development of the research, including data collection, the methodological path recommended by the systematic literature review was followed, according to the steps proposed by Sampaio and Mancini (2007). The results show that the experiments are tools that promote interactions between students and teachers, stimulate the active participation of students in classes, and help to better understand physical concepts and mathematical language. Such activities can be considered as a promising option for the teaching of Physics, in which their use enriches students' learning and can contribute to meaningful learning. The limitations pointed out were the lack of material to set up the experiment, the absence of laboratories and internet.
