ABSTRACT
The teaching process of Physics in the second year of General Unified Baccalaureate presents certain drawbacks due to the difficulty of students to understand abstract concepts and the ineffectiveness of traditional methods. The urgency to modernize teaching is since conventional pedagogical approaches limit active participation and do not meet current educational demands. In response to this problem, the objective of this research is to elaborate a methodological strategy for the use of technological tools to improve the understanding of Physics concepts, promoting a more dynamic and effective learning in the second year of General Unified High School. The research adopted a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate how technological tools improve the understanding of Physics. A structured Likert-scale survey was used to collect quantitative data on student perception and semi-structured interviews with teachers were used to obtain qualitative perspectives on technology implementation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and theoretical review to interpret their impact on physics learning. The sample included 40 students and 4 teachers, providing a representative and detailed view of the experiences and perceptions of both groups. The methodological strategy for using technological tools in Physics is relevant and feasible, with experts supporting its ability to enhance learning. Its success depends on teacher training and adequate infrastructure.
