PAGLIARINI, Cassiano Rezende  e  ALMEIDA, Maria José P. M. de. Readings by high school students about the beginning of quantum physics through scientists' texts. Ciência educ. [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.2, pp.299-317. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320160020003.

The aim of this study is to understand the interpretations of high school students about notions of the beginning of Quantum Physics, after reading scientists' texts, and also their interpretations about the reading activities, that took place in a physics class during an extension project of a public university in the state of São Paulo. We use Discourse Analysis, initiated in France by Michel Pêcheux, to analyze the student's answers to a questionnaire with five discursive questions. We realize that, probably because the reading of scientific dissemination texts and also scientists' original texts is not a common activity at the high school, the diversity of meanings given by the students to the new subject, allows a greater interaction but also alerts us to the necessity of the teacher's mediation about doubts and misconceptions.
