LOBATO, Teresa  and  GRECA, Ileana María. Análise da inserção de conteúdos de Teoria Quântica nos currículos de física do ensino médio. Ciência educ. [online]. 2005, vol.11, n.01, pp.119-132. ISSN 1516-7313.

In the XXth century, scientific and technological innovation has been overwhelming. Our teaching profession lead us to believe that studies in High Schools do not follow the evolution of ideas that characterizes our modern society. However, some contents of Modern Physics are already included in the official curricula of several countries, which seem to be worried about the improvement of today’s youth training. In this paper we report a study made about Physics’ curricula in several countries, emphasizing Quantum Theory issues, the biggest invention of the XXth century, trying to identify the selected subjects selected and the way they fit into general curricula orientations.

Keywords : Curricula; Quantum Theory; High School.
