Abstract

This paper addresses the main ideas associated with the teaching-learning processes of light in primary education and specifically in Pre-service teacher training. First, the main learning difficulties in infants, which are usually shared by teachers in Pre-service teacher training, are presented. In addition, an analysis of several primary textbooks has been carried out, identifying the main deficiencies in their proposals for working with light. Based on the review and the authors' experience in teacher training, a proposal of key ideas and their sequencing for working with light in primary education is presented.
