Abstract

In this work we present a set of situations formulated to teach the quantum model for the electron based on the Feynman ap-proach and the partial results of its implementation in four courses of a secondary school. Based on the students' resolutions and their categorization, we identified the theorems in action that hindered or collaborated in the conceptualization. A univariate and bivariate analysis was performed, finding that the work with the probability calculation technique is highly correlated with the modeling of the probability distribution curve of the electrons in the Double Slit Experiment with electrons, which is an indicator favorable of the expected conceptualization.
