Modern Physics in the Northeast: an analysis of the MNPEF production

Abstract

This article is a bibliographical review that uses dissertations from a postgraduate program in the Stricto Sensu network as its data source. In this work, we will analyze from which perspective the teaching materials for the National Professional Master's Degree in Physics Teaching (03) are being produced, referring to the content of Modern Physics, in the centers accredited in 2013 and still active today, in the Northeast Region. To do this, we made a temporal cut of the materials produced in the last 10 years. The program covers 9 states in the region, subdivided into 22 professional master's degree centers. Therefore, we seek to understand whether the dissertations whose themes cover Modern Physics use unanimous methodological approaches or whether there is a variation, as well as quantifying the productions with study interest on the topic analyzed in the centers studied. As a result, we found that, of the total of 210 dissertations defended in the five centers studied, only 22 covered the topic in question, using the most diverse teaching methodologies, for the most part, not being limited to a single methodology, to characterize the execution of the educational product proposed to other Physics teachers in practice.
