Wilhem Röntgen e a descoberta dos raios X: aspectos da história da ciência nos livros didáticos em ensino de Física

Abstract

The Science History and Philosophy (SHP) can help teach several Physics topics, contributing to the comprehension of the Science Nature and assisting the Teacher with the development of students learning. But using HPC in classrooms is going through quite problems like the Teacher’s unpreparedness and the absence of quality material, which contributes to spreading distorted views of science. This work brings an analysis of the historical content in textbooks on the X-ray discovery, analyzing the distorted or non-distorted viewing about the scientific development knowledge. The methodology applied was a bibliographic/documented research, with the concept of textual discursive analysis, revealing that although the discussions in the last decades showed the insertion of SHP as a potential solution to the problems found in teaching, there are still impediments to overcome. For example, the absence of quality didactic material, in other words, the material showing no distorted views of science. The analysis results revealed that although most of the books present the SHP, there is still a significant presence of distorted views of science.
