Análisis de contenidos en óptica geométrica

Abstract

This work reports on the findings of a content analysis in geometric optics. Such analysis has been carried out through two dimensions of the scientific content structure, the substantive and curricular ones. For that purpose, a consensual criterium out of nineteen textbooks of physics including the topic mentioned has been adopted. The first type of analysis leds to identify the «key» concepts and their relations in a hierarchized conceptual map. On the other hand, the curricular analysis resulted in a proposal of sequentiation for the implied contents. At the end, didactic consequences of the procedure described are discussed.
