Abstract

In this work, we are going to present a literature review of researches that focus on the relationships, difficulties and didactic proposals between Physics and Literature. We have researched on the scientific production of the academic community in specialized journals and congress minutes about Physics teaching, by seeking in abstracts and titles of academic works the following keywords: Science/Physics and Literature, reading and Science/Physics teaching, scientific dissemination/fiction, and use of analogies/metaphors in Science/Physics teaching. The scarcity of published studies led us to research in journals which are not specialized in Physics Education and to extrapolate the research period. We aim to understand how the relationship between Physics and Literature has been discussed by the scientific area, by identifying how the Physics Education can benefit from the resources offered by Literature. In this literature review, we have found a huge educational potential in the use of Literature and its resources as a possible didactic tool for Physics teaching.
