Description:
This paper discusses the relation between affects and conceptualization in physicsdidactics. We present a theoretical framework that has been used in aninvestigation about basic Quantum Mechanics teaching in the high school. The PathIntegrals method of Feynman has been adopted as a Reference ConceptualStructure that is an alternative to the canonical formalism. The ProposedConceptual Structure for Teaching is described and the conceptualization and itsrelated affective aspects are analysed.
