Abstract In the face of repeated findings in academic research and in empirical evidence from teachers and evaluative organizations, the teaching of physics in Brazil has been an object of epistemological, theoretical and methodological concern. In this article, we seek to express a reflection and offer an alternative instructional action based on an interpretation of the Theory of Meaningful Learning, abundant foundation in the area, associated with the use of WebQuests, a didactic and evaluative strategy adherent to contemporary studies on cognition and interactivity with digital information and communication technologies. Evidencing steps of surveying subsumers, advanced organization, progressive differentiation and integrative reconciliation, we document the bases and explore a computational implementation that mimics the aforementioned amalgam and illustrates possibilities for the development of teaching methodologies articulated with interactive digital technologies.

Keywords : Meaningful learning theory; Physics teaching; Interactivity.
