Physics is still seen by many students as a difficult subject to learn. On the other hand, research shows the difficulties encountered by teachers when they seek to bring scientific concepts closer to the reality experienced by students in order to make teaching in this area more dynamic. Furthermore, some authors point out that, currently, the teaching of Physics in High School has focused much more on solving problems – with a focus on selective processes for admission to higher education – than on learning and understanding physical phenomena. In this context, the result of the National Secondary Education Examination (Enem) has served as a criterion for admission to higher education for a wide range of higher education institutions in Brazil. From this, the following research question emerges: "What is the proficiency of students from Santarém who took the National High School Exam in 2019?". Thus, this work proposes an investigation on the proficiency in Physics of students of Basic Education in Santarém based on microdata from the National High School Exam, as well as an analysis of the errors made by these students, with the aim of achieving these results. contribute to the better planning of classes in this discipline.
