Reflexiones en torno al concepto de energía. Implicaciones curriculares

Abstract

After an analysis of the difficulty of the energy concept, the paper proposes a review of this subject in the traditional way, in secondary school curricula, in favor of the incorporation of sorne Thermodynamics concepts. Without these, the energy concept is limited and in this manner conditions its incorporation to the student's cognitive structure by losing a large part of its explanatory power.
