The methodology of the Learning Workshops is presented as an alternative to teaching Physics in schools. This methodology values the students' knowledge and promotes the approach to reality, through experimentation, with preparation for everyday life and to deal with situations involving knowledge of Physics. It is based on David Ausubel's (1918 – 2008) concept of meaningful learning as an alternative to seek a change in the education of high school students. The case study carried out in 2018 shows the difference in the learning of young participants in the Physics Learning Workshop (experimental group) and those who did not (control group), by comparing two high school classes at IFCE . As a result, there was an improvement in the understanding of the concepts presented. It is expected, with this work, to show the difference in student learning with the methodology and bring improvement to the teaching and learning of Physics in High School.
