• Abstract:

  It is understood that the National Student Performance Exam (ENADE) makes it possible to analyze curricular weaknesses capable of supporting the improvement of curricular structures. A methodology is proposed to identify these weaknesses per observation unit (OU), based on the ENADE course report. The method is exemplified, focusing on 27 objective questions (64% of the grade) from the specific component (CE) of ENADE 2021 for a degree in Physics, in which the trainees showed themselves committed to the Exam (74% stayed more than 3 hours). Four items were disregarded, due to a discrimination rate of less than 20%, consolidating the analysis into 26 distractors that attracted at least 20% of respondents. Three items are exemplified that consolidate weaknesses linked to basic mechanics and other items that materialized difficulties in Practice in Physics Teaching and Inclusion are highlighted. It is understood that this systematic analysis can contribute as a subsidy in studies of curricular changes in Undergraduate courses.
