摘要：This paper presents an exploratory study whose main objective was to draw an overview of the strict sense research carried out in Brazil, addressing the use of active methodologies in the teaching of physics, from 2009 to 2019.To achieve this objective weanalyzed theses and dissertations available in the collection of the Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações-BDTD.The choice for this platform is justified by its breadth.By defining the descriptors "active methodologies" AND "Physics", related by the Boolean operator "AND" and adopting as exclusion criteria the non-belonging to the area of Physics, we identified twenty-six works.After analyzing the selected material, it was possible to detect a sharp growth in the number of these researches in recent years, most of them composed by dissertations from professional master’s programs.Almost all the work was carried out in public institutions and addressed the use of active methodologies at all levels of education, most of them directed to high school.We also found that there is a predominance of the use of Peer Instruction methodology.Another fact that deserves attention is the concentration of research in the Southeast and South regions from Brazil.
