Professores de ciências e biologia nas atividades práticas e experimentais nos laboratórios escolares na cidade de Mari-PB

Abstract

The study explores the importance of experimental activities in the teaching of Science and Biology, focusing on the challenges faced by teachers in implementing these practices in schools in Mari, Paraíba. The main objective is to understand how such activities can contribute to combating scientific denialism while also seeking to identify teachers' perceptions and practices regarding these activities. The research involved the administration of questionnaires to teachers from both public and private schools in the region, aiming to capture their views and experiences. The results highlight not only the relevance of experimental activities in stimulating students' critical thinking but also the need for investments in infrastructure and ongoing teacher training. These findings suggest pathways to strengthen the teaching of Science and Biology and promote a more robust approach to scientific denialism.
