Abstract:
|
Claims for the use of technology in the classroom have been long documented in PER. The effective use of technology, however, can vary across countries. In this presentation, we review the use of technology in Brazil through physics education literature. Looking at high impact publications in Brazilian physics education journals from the last decade, we describe some of our experiences with technology in the classroom. Our findings show a slow growth in articles published discussing technology over the years with a peak in 2012 and a focus on articles about simulations. Even though some growth in the number of articles over the years was found, it’s still lower than expected when noted how much technology developed in the last 10 years and even how much we know technology is used in many classrooms. We also found that authors differ greatly in an understanding of the use and potential of learning managing systems, as well as of the concept of virtual experiments.
