Practical-experimental activities in Physics Education

Abstract

In this paper we present a discussion about the role of practical-experimental activities in physics education from our readings. It is a reflection on those activities that are considered essential in order to minimize difficulties in learning and teaching processes. To this end, we brought authors who not only advocate the use as well as those who are critical of the pedagogical function of these activities as they are carried out, particularly among researchers who associate their use strengthening of a naive and positivist view of science. It is expected, therefore, to contribute to a critical reflection of the actors involved in the physics education to have didactic laboratory as a research object.
