Abstract

Many of researches in astronomy teaching show significant difficulties in understanding the phenomenon of day and night by students of all ages and even teachers. In this work the focus is in the images present in textbooks of primary education related to the daily movement of the Sun in the sky and with the day-night cycle. Conceptual and instructional mistakes were detected, suggesting the need for a revision of the way in which this type of educational materials extremely used in schools are produced.
