Resumo: Every year in Brazil, School Olympics are organized including various knowledge areas, such as: Portuguese Language, Mathematics, Biology, Physics, and others. The Brazilian Physics Olympiad (OBF) intends to stimulate students’ interest in Physics, by challenging and encouraging them to pursue careers in science and technology. This paper aims to investigate the contents that are present in the OBF exams and how these are addressed, in order to draw a profile of the exam that is applied to high school students. For this purpose, an analysis of the questions from the exam, from the period between 1999 and 2013, is carried out, and the contents of the questions are separated in six Physics fields: Mechanics, Wave, Thermal Physics, Electromagnetism, Geometric Optics and Modern Physics. Afterwards, graphics are developed in order to identify peculiarities of these tests. The results present positive changes in the profile of the test, which has a more contextualized and interdisciplinary approach, compared to previous editions, in line with the official documents of the Brazilian education.

A Olimpíada Brasileira de Física (OBF) tem como objetivo despertar e estimular nos estudantes o interesse pela física, proporcionando desafios e incentivando-os a seguir carreiras científicas e tecnológicas. Este trabalho visa investigar os conteúdos exigidos nas provas da OBF e a forma como estes são abordados, com a finalidade de traçar um perfil das provas da OBF, aplicadas aos estudantes do ensino médio. Para isso, realizou-se uma análise das questões das provas do período de 1999 a 2013, distribuindo os conteúdos das questões das provas em seis áreas de conhecimento da física: mecânica, ondulatória, física térmica, eletromagnetismo, óptica geométrica e física moderna. Após a análise foram construídos gráficos que auxiliaram a identificar peculiaridades destas provas. Os resultados mostram uma evolução no perfil da prova, que atualmente possui uma abordagem mais contextualizada e interdisciplinar quando comparada às edições anteriores, em consonância ao que está descrito nos documentos oficiais da educação brasileira.Imprensa Universitária - UFSC2014-07-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2015v32n1p14210.5007/2175-7941.2015v32n1p142Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; v. 32 n. 1 (2015); 142-1562175-79411677-2334reponame:Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2015v32n1p142/29040Copyright (c) 2015 Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Físicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessErthal, Joao Paulo CasaroCampos, Ramón GiostriSouza, Thays FerreiraOliveira, Juliana de Souza2018-03-16T11:51:07Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/32372Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/oaicbefisica@gmail.com||fscccef@fsc.ufsc.br|| cbefisica@gmail.com2175-79411677-2334opendoar:2018-03-16T11:51:07Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
