Resumo: This work analyzes how history of electricity is presented in textbooks for Fundamental and Secondary Schools. In particular it analyzes how Benjamin Franklin s studies on electricity are described by these books taking into account the quality of historical information and ideas on the nature of Science conveyed by these historical narratives. We found that history of Science presented in the analyzed textbooks is superficial, with many historiographic mistakes, and brings erroneous views on the nature of Science and its method that do not correspond to the current epistemological knowledge. Usually these narratives reinforce the idea of the existence of genius minds, value only the currently accepted scientific knowledge and transmit the empirical inductivist views on the scientific dynamics.

Em particular, analisamos como as contribuições de Benjamin Franklin são abordadas do ponto de vista da qualidade das informações históricas e das idéias sobre a natureza da ciência induzidas por estas narrativas. A História da Ciência presente nos livros didáticos e paradidáticos analisados é superficial, com muitos erros historiográficos e, além do mais, transmite visões sobre a natureza da ciência e seu método que não correspondem aos conhecimentos epistemológicos atuais. De uma maneira geral, esses livros reforçam a idéia da existência de grandes gênios, valorizam apenas os conhecimentos que coincidem com os aceitos atualmente e, além disso, muitas obras trazem uma visão empírico-indutivista sobre a dinâmica científica.Imprensa Universitária - UFSC2008-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2008v25n1p14110.5007/2175-7941.2008v25n1p141Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; v. 25 n. 1 (2008); 141-1592175-79411677-2334reponame:Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2008v25n1p141/5779Silva, Cibelle CelestinoPimentel, Ana Carolinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-03-14T12:45:40Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/6200Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/oaicbefisica@gmail.com||fscccef@fsc.ufsc.br|| cbefisica@gmail.com2175-79411677-2334opendoar:2018-03-14T12:45:40Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
