Description

The present qualitative research focuses on surveying the alternative conceptions of one hundred and seventy-seven (N = 177) elementary pre-service teachers from Quebec in Canada regarding the current distribution in simple electric circuits. For it, a questionnaire composed of xx statements was constructed and managed. They must choose if it is true or false for each statement following their justification. The data analyses show that their alternative conceptions are profoundly different from those advanced in the circuit theory, mainly related to the amount of current passing through lamps.
