Description
Summary:This paper investigates the relationship between the epistemological profile of the student, their mental images and drivers built after the use of virtual experiments. For this, was chosen as the dual behavior knowledge content of matter and electromagnetic radiation, fundamental topic of Quantum Mechanics in the curriculum of physics undergraduate students. The theoretical framework adopted for reading the data was the Cognitive Mediation Networks Theory, seeking to explain how computer mediation modifies the cognitive structure of students. Also used the idea of Epistemological Profile Bachelardian to relate it to the reasoning presented by the students. Observed changes of psychophysical and cultural drivers already in the cognitive structure of students. Despite this positive result, there was a conceptual inconsistency of students for the dual behavior of the explanation of quantum objects.
