Abstract
The use of active methodologies and educational technologies can improve the academic performance of Secondary students in Physics, and it is one of the most predominant subjects in the field of engineering. This article describes a proposal of Physics activities that use various digital and technological tools incorporated into problem solving. This proposal was carried out in the subject of Physics and Chemistry of 3° of Compulsory Secondary Education (14–16 years) with 35 students (12 boys and 23 girls), forming two groups. The result of the implementation in the classroom was an improvement in the academic performance of the entire student body, being more appreciable in girls and in general, in students with a lower academic level.
