Mapping of the dissertations that deal with the use of educational technologies in the teaching of physics

Abstract

This article presents a mapping of the dissertations that relate the use of educational technologies to the teaching of Physics, based on these interests, the focus was given to researches carried out in the Professional Master's Program in Scientific, Educational and Technological Formation (PPGFCET) of the Federal University of Technology - Paraná (UTFPR) in the period from 2013 to the first half of 2018. The methodological procedure adopted has as a characteristic a documentary investigation, in the perspective of an inventorizing work. To make these tasks possible, it was used as a procedure the mapping technique proposed by Fiorentini (2002). Initially, 77 papers were identified in the institutional repository and on the program page, also were used 11 dissertations were part of the research's scope. After the categorization process, we performed the summarization of the works and, in some cases, the texts were read completely. The researches were organized into three focus areas and six thematic sub focus, which presented the main contributions of the studies about Physics' teaching. The results indicated the relevance of the researches and educational products developed, but also pointed out the need of a greater diversification in the themes that involve educational technologies in the teaching of Physics.
