其他摘要:The objective of this work is to identify and to analyse some spontaneous conceptions of phenomena associated to the atmospheric electricity, presented by students of 2º year of Education of Young and Adults (EJA) of a public school in the countryside of Bahia. The data were obtained through a questionnaire and through the dialog process during a minicourse structured with basis in Three Pedagogic Moments. The results pointed out that some spontaneous conceptions are disseminated by the students’ relatives through myths passed over generations. Others, however, are originated from erroneous personal interpretations of basic electrical phenomena.
