O ESTADO DA ARTE DO SOFTWARE MODELLUS APLICADO AO ENSINO DE FÍSICA

Abstract

In this work, a bibliographic research of the State of the Art type is carried out on the Modellus software in the periods between 1997 and 2020. The investigation was based on articles present in the Capes Periodicals Portal. In the search, 82 scientific articles were found that include productions in several areas of Physics. It was observed that the vast majority of the works are linked to the high school and college levels, which confirms the functionality of the Modellus software for any educational level. In addition, this software can be used as a proposal for continuing education for teachers, with a didactic approach to reduce the school dropout rate, accompanied by an interaction between theory and modeling. As a result, there is an increase in publications on this topic in 2012 and 2015, more specifically in the area of mechanics and TICs. However, it is still notable the lack in several subareas of Physics, such as Astronomy, Optics, Electromagnetism and Hydrodynamics. In addition, there are few productions aimed at the elementary school level.
