Light and Color: Art and Science Using an Interdisciplinary Approach in Primary Education Teacher Training

Light and color present complex interactions whose understanding is not always intuitive. Over the past forty years, numerous studies have aimed to identify preconceived notions and the various models employed in schools. Numerous teaching and learning strategies, along with didactic analyses, often fail to consider the multidimensional and interdisciplinary nature of these phenomena. This article presents a teaching experience aimed at training future primary education teachers. The theoretical context of this proposal, designed within the domains of physical and chemical didactics and plastic and visual expression, will be discussed. Instruments consistent with qualitative action research were used. Some results from the analysis of students’ narratives, both in laboratory notebooks and in sessions recorded audiovisually, will be presented.
