Aprendizagem da física com auxílio do smartphone: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive systematic review of the use of smartphones in physics education, aiming to identify the potential benefits and challenges of integrating these devices through an analysis of various proposed teaching activities developed and tested using mobile educational applications for teaching. The analysis of the studies was conducted through searches on the Capes, Scielo, and Google Scholar websites, covering the period from 2019 to 2022. Based on the inclusion criteria established in the methodology, which required that the studies present a developed, tested, and analyzed teaching activity proposal using educational applications through smartphones for physics education, a sample of 21 eligible studies was obtained for analysis. In accordance with the studies analyzed in this systematic review, the practicality and versatility of smartphones as auxiliary tools in learning physics enable the performance of experimental and practical activities both inside and outside the classroom, the incorporation of educational games, as well as the visualization of physical phenomena through simulations. In addition to discussing the benefits, the article also identifies some challenges, such as the need for internet connectivity and the lack of access to mobile devices for some students. It emphasizes the need for a well-planned and conscious approach to the integration of smartphones in physics education and the importance of complementary practices to traditional pedagogical methods
