SUMMARY:

Given the growing emphasis on the use of digital technologies in the educational context, their potential for interdisciplinary integration across different fields of knowledge stands out, enabling learners to engage in practical experiences that foster protagonism in the teaching and learning process. In this context, the present study investigates the effectiveness of using technologies, particularly those based on the Arduino platform, in Physics education, aiming to make the learning of Ohm’s First Law more meaningful for students in the third period of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) at a public school in the municipality of Extremoz RN, Brazil. The investigation is grounded in the Theory of Meaningful Learning by David Ausubel (2003), based on the contributions of Marco Antônio Moreira (2023), as well as on the principles of Paulo Freire’s (1996) critical pedagogy, which advocates for a dialogical, contextualized, and emancipatory education. Considering the specific characteristics of EJA students, who often face challenges such as gaps in mathematical knowledge, extended time away from formal education, and work overload, the study adopted the Design Science Research methodology, which is guided by the development and evaluation of artifacts aimed at solving real-world problems through educational technological solutions. With a qualitative approach, the study resulted in the creation of the product of this research: a didactic kit composed of simple electronic components based on the Arduino board. This artifact, named OHMLY, was designed to bring Physics content closer to the students’ reality, promoting a more contextualized, participatory, and meaningful learning experience. By offering hands-on activities, the kit aimed to increase engagement and foster a more concrete understanding of the physical concepts involved. The results obtained at the end of the implementation indicated that the use of OHMLY contributed significantly to enhancing student engagement and improving their understanding of Ohm’s First Law. It is concluded that the OHMLY kit achieved its objectives, providing greater conceptual clarity to the learners and encouraging their active participation throughout the teaching and learning process.
