El concepto de energía en los libros de textos: de las concepciones previas a la propuesta de un nuevo sublenguaje

Abstract

In this work are studied the already existing interpretations and conceptions on the concept of energy and other allied concepts in Basic Physics textbooks commonly used in the initial courses at university and in courses prior to university level (Basic School) being given in Venezuela.In this study we have used techniques of analysis of content and have made a historic analysis to round up the conclusions of the work.It becomes necessary to build a new language, simple but internally coherent, and within the current scientific paradigms. In this work we start the discussion of this new language within the area of energy and related concepts.
