Abstract
The National High School Examination (ENEM) is an evaluative and selective tool for students to enter higher education. The Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (FIs) are institutions created by the Federal government with the objective of training competent professionals. The purpose of this study is to compare the content of the Physics questions of the National High School Examination (ENEM) between the years 2014 to 2018 with the curriculum content of the technical chemistry course at the Federal Institute of Amapá (IFAP). The teaching of physics in the technical course in Chemistry at IFAP does not present a division that prioritizes the subjects most present in ENEM. ENEM usually contextualizes its questions. This could be a common practice in high school physics, as it would help in your better understanding. In addition, it is necessary not to fragment the content during teaching, nor as its composition with other subjects. The IFAP technical course would not be the appropriate place of study for those who just want to finish high school. The content goes beyond what is required, but with cutouts focused on the technical part, including laboratory practices and strictly technical disciplines. The absence of interdisciplinarity and contextualization makes it difficult to absorb the content, forming students with difficulty in thinking about physics.

The research was carried out using questions from the National High School Exam (ENEM) taken from the Super Professor program, acquired from Interbits Informática
The classification of the overlapping content of ENEM physics questions between 2014 and 2018, by quantity and percentage of questions appears in table 1
Summary
Created by the Federal Government of Brazil in 1998, the National High School Exam (ENEM) aimed to evaluate students who completed high school. ENEM has gained more relevance by being used as an assessment tool, and as a selective tool for the entry of students into higher education (Silveira et al, 2015). In the ENEM test, the subject of physics is approached along with the subjects of biology and chemistry in the area of Science of Nature knowledge. The Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology are institutions created by the Federal government with the objective of training competent professionals. These may present different courses such as undergraduate degrees, masters or doctorates, but the main modality is technical education, mainly technical education integrated with high school (Pacheco, 2010)
