INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES IN PHYSICS TEACHING IN THE LIGHT OF CRITICAL MEANINGFUL LEARNING: 

CONTINUING TRAINING FOR YOUTH AND ADULT EDUCATION TEACHERS

Critical Meaningful Learning; Teaching by Research EJA; Physics Teaching and Continuing Training

The application of investigative activities as a teaching strategy in the area of Natural Sciences was recognized by both teachers and students as one of the main didactic actions in the context of the teaching and learning process. These activities not only provided a practical and engaging approach, allowing students to "do science", but also offered a reflective and critical perspective "on science". This approach contributes significantly to the construction of knowledge, encouraging active student participation and providing a deeper and more contextualized understanding of scientific concepts. The general objective of this study is to understand the possible contributions of investigative activities to the teaching of Physics from the perspective of the Theory of Meaningful Critical Learning in continued training with Youth and Adult Education teachers. To achieve this objective, a continuing training proposal will be developed for teachers who teach physics in Youth and Adult Education in the city of Juazeiro-BA. As a methodological procedure, applied research will be carried out, with a qualitative approach and intervention research. For data production, questionnaires, interviews, observation, logbook, documentary collection and focus group will be used.
