Acoustics is a fundamental discipline of Physics, dedicated to the study of sound waves
and their various applications in our daily lives; from music produced by instruments to
communication through radio and human speech. Furthermore, it is important to
emphasize that acoustics is also addressed in secondary and higher education courses,
both in public and private institutions. Therefore, knowing what has been researched on
the subject is of utmost importance. Thus, the general objective of this article is to map
scientific papers related to the methodologies used in the teaching and learning of acoustic
content in secondary and higher education institutions, published from 2014 to 2023.
Given the following problem: "What are the contributions behind the main didactic and
experimental methodologies applied to acoustic content in secondary and higher
education?" For this, we used the state of knowledge as a methodological procedure, a
qualitative approach, and exploratory research of a basic nature. We conducted a search
on the SCIELO platform from 2014 to 2023, resulting in the location of nine (9) scientific
articles related to the topic. However, the works found suggest the implementation of
activities in laboratories that involve experimental setups using the guitar, tubes, and
software. Furthermore, they also emphasize the importance of exploring the relationship
between theory and practice, allowing students to apply mathematical concepts related to
acoustics. We conclude that the lack of specific didactic and methodological approaches
to teaching acoustics in secondary education is an issue that can be improved. Many
phenomena involving sound waves require technologies to be demonstrated. Therefore,
we consider it crucial to encourage research and the development of didactic materials
that assist in the teaching of acoustics in secondary and higher education.
