Os benefícios do laboratório de biologia para o processo de aprendizagem dos alunos da Escola Estadual Professor Antônio José Bernardo Vasconcelos do município de Boca do Acre - Am

Abstract

The use of practical laboratory classes is a very important tool in the teaching-learning process, in view of the greater ease in learning when theory is associated with practice. However, most public schools in Brazil are still lacking in this teaching methodology, either due to lack of physical space to carry out these practices, or due to the lack of available materials, thus preventing their use as a routine practice in educational establishments. The objective of this research was to survey the importance of using the laboratory in practical classes in Biology, from the perspective of high school students and professors of the state school Professor Antônio José Bernardo Vasconcelos, as well as to verify the use of the laboratory of the school in practical classes. A specific questionnaire was applied to the students and another to the teachers. The results showed that most of the students never attended a practical laboratory class in biology. It was also found that of both students and teachers believe that practical laboratory classes help in the learning process classes to be held. Despite this, no classes are held in the laboratory, according to teachers, this is due to structural problems and insufficient materials to meet all students. With this conclusion, it is not enough for the school to have a laboratory and the teachers and students have knowledge about the importance of practical classes and aim for these to be carried out, it is necessary to offer conditions of use for the laboratory to be used in classes practices.
