Problematizing thermodynamic concepts

This work is the result of research carried out as part of a Master's degree course, aimed at investigating, from the perspective of the pedagogical moment of initial problematization with the help of the conceptual profile of heat, how cold influences different contexts and its historical importance in technological development and in helping to establish modern societies. With this, we hope to contribute to a better understanding of thermodynamics and, more specifically, of cold in people's daily lives.
