O museu de ciências como ferramenta didática na visão dos professores de física: analisando o potencial didático do Espaço Interativo de Ciência, Tecnologia e Artes (EICTA)

Abstract

This paper investigated the integration of the Espaço Interativo de Ciências, Tecnologia e Artes (EICTA) in Physics teaching, through interviews with 23 participants (Physics degree students who are part of Teaching Initiation Scholarship Program, PIBID and in Portuguese, postgraduate students in Physics teaching its math). The research addressed the importance of experimental activities, highlighting their motivational impact and in-depth understanding of physical concepts. The visit to EICTA was considered enriching, offering a practical and interdisciplinary experience. Despite identified logistical challenges, such as transportation, participants proposed strategies for an effective integration of the Museum into the classroom, emphasizing the combination of theory and practice. The conclusion highlights EICTA as a valuable resource in Physics teaching, highlighting its relevance in teacher training and in stimulating students' interest in science, with prospects for improvement in scientific education.
