However, his innovative concepts of "thought collective" and "thought style" are mistakenly considered equivalent to the terms "scientific community" and "paradigm" used by Thomas Kuhn (1922 - 1996) in his book "The Structure Scientific Revolutions".

For this, having a historical point of view on the photoelectric effect experiment, we use as an object of analysis and discussionthe scientific controversy involving, on the one hand, the "Triggering Hypothesis", by the Austro-Hungarian physicist Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard (1862-1947), formulated in 1902 and, on the other hand, the "Quantum Light Hypothesis", by the German physicistAlbert Einstein (1879-1955), elaborated in 1905. It was possible to evidence how conceptual and social elements contributed both to the emergence of new ideas (the "quantum of light") and the widespread rejection by physicists, at least until 1913, of a quantum theory of radiation. A epistemologia proposta pelo médico polonês Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961) tem atraído cada vez mais adeptos entre os pesquisadores de Educação para as Ciências. Todavia, seus conceitos inovadores de “coletivo de pensamento” e “estilo de pensamento” sãoequivocadamente considerados equivalentes aos termos “comunidade científica” e “paradigma”, utilizados por Thomas Kuhn (1922– 1996) em seu livro “A Estrutura das Revoluções Científicas”. O trabalho, aqui apresentado, tem como objetivo principal esclarecer e aplicar esses quatro conceitos epistemológicos em um estudo de caso. Para isso, dispondo-se de um recorte do ponto de vista histórico sobre o experimento do efeito fotoelétrico, utilizamos como objeto de análise e discussão da controvérsia científica envolvendo, deum lado, a “Hipótese de Gatilho”, do físico austro-húngaro Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard (1862-1947), formulada em 1902 e, de outro, a “Hipótese de Quantum de Luz”, do físico alemão Albert Einstein (1879-1955), elaborada em 1905. Foi possível evidenciar comoelementos conceituais e sociais contribuíram tanto para o surgimento de novas ideias (o “quantum de luz”) quanto para a ampla rejeição dos físicos, pelo menos até o ano de 1913, de uma teoria quântica da radiação Asociación de Profesores de Física de la Argentina 2022-12-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/revistaEF/article/view/39834 Journal of Physics Teaching; Vol. 34: Extra Issue: Selection of papers submitted to SIEF; 221-229 Revista de Enseñanza de la Física; Vol. 34: Número Extra: Selección de Trabajos presentados a SIEF; 221-229 Revista de Enseñanza de la Física; v. 34: Edição extra: Seleção de artigos enviados ao SIEF; 221-229 2250-6101 0326-7091 por https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/revistaEF/article/view/39834/39962 Derechos de autor 2022 Eliéverson Guerchi Gonzales, Ronivan Sousa da Silva Suttini, João José Caluzi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 |

The epistemology proposed by the Polish physician Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961) has attracted more and more supporters among researchers in Science Education. However, his innovative concepts of "thought collective" and "thought style" are mistakenly considered equivalent to the terms "scientific community" and "paradigm" used by Thomas Kuhn (1922 - 1996) in his book "The Structure Scientific Revolutions". The work, presented here, aims to clarify and apply these four epistemological concepts in a case study. For this, having a historical point of view on the photoelectric effect experiment, we use as an object of analysis and discussionthe scientific controversy involving, on the one hand, the "Triggering Hypothesis", by the Austro-Hungarian physicist Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard (1862-1947), formulated in 1902 and, on the other hand, the "Quantum Light Hypothesis", by the German physicistAlbert Einstein (1879-1955), elaborated in 1905.
