This work consists of a study inspired by physicist Richard Feynman about the Teaching of Physics in High Schools, of the mid-21st century, highlighting the importance of the contextualization with the student´s territorial reality. The research was carried out through observation of remote classes from May to December of 2021 and interviews with physics professors in the city of Petrolina-PE, Brazil. It is evident the need for professors to be able to review their practices, apply contextualization, use experiments, and avoid memorization activities, reaffirming the importance of building contextualized practices as the basis for a teaching of Physics that allows the student to understand the application of concepts, as well as phenomena within everyday life and expand scientific thinking.
