The Story Format and the Cycle of Meaning Construction for Physics Education in Primary Schools

The story format may provide a stimulating environment, including tasks, questions or problems, giving space for scientific experimentation and group discussions guided by the teacher. In this contribution we present the main advantages of the story format for physics teaching and learning and the features that a story should have in order to implement what we call the \u201ccycle of meaning construction\u201d, which constitutes an attempt to integrate the attributes already accredited to the story format in science teaching with pedagogical, methodological and didactic approaches. Lastly, a story will be presented in brief as a possible example for primary school physics education
