O uso das tecnologia digitais de informação e comunicação (TDIC) no ensino de física: explorando o sistema solar com ênfase nas leis de kepler e a gravitação universal por meio de uma sequência didática baseada na teoria sociocultural do desenvolvimento cognitivo

Abstract

this study aimed to investigate how the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Computer Simulations (CS) can aid in the understanding of concepts related to Kepler's Laws and Universal Gravitation. Two distinct approaches were utilized: one of a traditional nature, and the other through the Solar System Scope© application, integrated with a Didactic Sequence (DS) based on Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory of Development. The research was conducted at the Federal Institute of Amapá (IFAP) – Macapá campus, on November 12, 19, and 26, 2025 (4 meetings), involving two high school classes. The conventional approach was applied to Class 1 (39 students), while the approach incorporating the aforementioned application was used in Class 2 (38 students). Following data collection, it was concluded that the intervention was satisfactory and successfully achieved the defined research objectives, particularly emphasizing the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) with the Solar System Scope© application, which proved to be efficient when integrated into teaching and learning.
