摘要：Current studies on didactical physics laboratory have been based in the use of the hypothetical-deductive method, proposing the development of the experimental activities as an investigation process, that reveals its popperian inspiration. In this work, starting from a discussion about different possibilities to understand the relationships between theory and experiment, we propose, based on Thomas Kuhn's ideas, complemented by the thought of van Fraassen, a new orientation for the Physics laboratory, conceiving it, not as a verification or falsification of hypotheses, but as an adaptation process between theory and experiment.
