A importância das aulas práticas para o ensino e a aprendizagem de química e biologia

Abstract

This work was subject verify the methodologies used by Chemistry teachers and Biology classes in their practices and techniques which promote greater interest and student learning. Thus, this research was conducted at the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Campus Medianeira, PR, with the participation of teachers of Chemistry and Biology of Technical Education Integrated Intermediate Level. To collect the data we applied an individual questionnaire with objective and essay questions. For the analysis of the questions related to role and the importance of experimentation in teaching and learning were used three categories of classification: epistemological, cognitive nature and bike-vocational nature. The survey results revealed that the teachers of the integrated mid-level technical education seek associate experimentation to situations of the student's daily life, which characterizes the chain posture vocational education where experimental activities are considered auxiliary in the wake curiosity and interest the study of curriculum content. Among the techniques that promote greater interest and student learning in experimental studies are also bike-vocational nature, where the student seeks to overcome the illustration and proof of theories that do not favor the construction of knowledge and is dedicated to problem-based the experimental work. Therefore, these data come strengthen the assumption that students are influenced by the views of their teachers, and it is necessary that the educator has a clear pedagogical concept, which enables the student to knowledge building.
