ORTIZ, Joanirse De Lurdes Da Rosa; KRAUSE, João Carlos  and  SANTOS, Antonio Vanderlei dos. Continuing education in the physics teacher refresher process: Training for Software Tracker. Rev. iberoam. tecnol. educ. educ. tecnol. [online]. 2019, n.23, pp.90-99. ISSN 1851-0086.

In the study of physics the use of technological products generates new forms of knowledge and acts as a facilitator in overcoming students' learning difficulties. However, for the success of the use of technological tools in this process, it is necessary that teachers have knowledge and take possession of such technologies. The present article presents the results of a work developed with teachers who work in physics teaching in the eleven cities belonging to the 32nd Regional Education Coordination area (32nd CRE). In it, we tried to find out the difficulties they faced in using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the classroom and offered a mini-course where we explored the potential of Tracker software on Physics teaching in high school. The proposed objective was reached because the continuous training aroused - in teachers - the willingness to use Tracker in their classes and also generated an auxiliary material for the study of Tracker serving as a technical / pedagogical support in its own use.
