Selection of physics experiments in high school: An investigation from the teachers' speech

Abstract

Through the physics teachers' speech this work investigates, firstly, the justifications given for the choice of certain experiments and equipments in medium teaching classes. The idea is to understand which reasons are from behind of that choice and to show which patterns of common decision exist among the interviewees for that selection. In a second moment it is made a comparison of the results found with investigations that treat the objectives of the didactic laboratory in the literature in scientific education.
