Possibilidades e Desafios da Tecnologia aplicada ao Ensino de Física: Uma Revisão dos Artigos Publicados no SNEF.

Abstract

In the present work, we conducted a documentary analysis of the four most recent editions of the National Symposium on Physics Education (SNEF), focusing on research that employs Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) in the teaching of Physics. In total, 71 papers that met the inclusion criteria were identified and classified into five technological categories: Online Platforms, Mobile Applications, Simulation Software, Hardware and Prototyping, and Cultural and Ludic Media. The results indicate that, throughout the analyzed period, simulation software has been the most frequently adopted technological resource, especially in upper secondary education, evidencing a growing trend toward the use of active learning strategies, virtual experimentation, and gamification. Moreover, the findings reveal the predominance of studies linked to secondary education, while elementary education remains scarcely represented within this context. In addition, critical reflections on the limitations and challenges of technology-mediated teaching are still limited, suggesting gaps that may guide future research. Overall, the analysis shows that DICT have assumed an increasingly central role in the proposals presented at SNEF, demonstrating significant potential to enrich learning experiences, while also demanding further investigations that deepen understanding of their pedagogical constraints.
