Resumo:
This Thesis aims to analyze how theses and dissertations from Southeast Region of Brazil
approach the learning process of physics content mediated by Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT). For this purpose, we constituted a documental
corpus by searching the Capes theses and dissertations catalog and the Brazilian Digital
Library of Theses and Dissertations. We selected the works based on the area of
knowledge, research topic and the region of the higher education institution as selection
criteria. Our main theorist is the Russian Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky. After selection, 20
dissertations were found for analysis. The methodological approach adopted in this
research was qualitative. Data analysis and categorization were performed based on
Bardin's perspective. Among the research results, we identified the existence of both
difficulties and factors that facilitate the learning of Physics contents mediated by ICT.
Among the difficulties, we highlight problems with the maintenance and management of
ICT equipment, in addition to issues related to teacher education and the socioeconomic
conditions of students. We also emphasize that the dissemination of actions undertaken
by universities has the potential to positively impact the learning process in basic
education schools and also at other levels of education. Furthermore, the students
participating in the research understand that learning mediated by ICT makes students
position themselves as subjects of the learning process, recognizing their prior knowledge
as prerequisites for new knowledge.
