Abordagem externalista do estudo da radioatividade: uma revisão sistemática da literatura em História da Ciência.

Abstract

This study aimed to conduct a Systematic Literature Review, investigating articles published in the last ten years (2013 to 2023) that addressed the themes of Radioactivity, History of Science, and Physics Teaching. Initially, 108 articles were identified, referred to as findings, which underwent the systematic review process, following the steps of identification, selection, evaluation, and synthesis of relevant available evidence. The search was carried out on reputable platforms such as Google Scholar, Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física, Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, and Revista Brasileira de História da Ciência. After filtering, 10 findings remained, which underwent detailed reviews and the cross-referencing of ideas to identify similarities among them. The results highlighted that some findings presented convergent discussions, suggesting a possible congruence of ideas in the scientific literature on the addressed topics. Additionally, it was observed that some studies utilized the Systematic Literature Review method in their research, indicating a growing acceptance and adoption of this method in the scientific community. The observation of similar discussions among the findings reinforces the importance and relevance of the addressed topics, while the increasing use of Systematic Literature Review underscores its methodological contribution to scientific research. Therefore, this work provides a consolidated view of the trends and convergences present in recent literature on Radioactivity, History of Science, and Physics Teaching, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in these interdisciplinary areas.
