BARRIOS, MARINA GARZÓN et al. THE VOLTA EFFECT. A CASE STUDY ON THE PRODUCTION OF SENSITIVE EFFECTS AND THEORIZING PROCESSES IN SCIENCE. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2020, vol.22, e14862. Epub 23-Maio-2020. ISSN 1983-2117. https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172020210113.
In this paper, we present some reflections on the relations between perception, the production of sensitive effects and the processes of theoretical synthesis in the construction of knowledge in science. To illustrate these relations, we developed a historical-critical study of the work of Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) on the voltaic battery and the electrical circuit. Volta detects and reproduces certain electrical effects through experiments that allow him to perceive the continuity and directionality of the electric fluid while constituting theoretical propositions about electricity. This case exemplifies the constructive process of knowledge that is necessary to consider when establishing criteria for science education.
