Direct linkda Silva Costa, Mauricio Bruno; dos Santos, Bruno Ferreira – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
The learning of scientific concepts is one of the main research subjects in science education. Although little used, the theory of conceptual profiles allows the study of this knowledge, taking into account the presence of different ways of thinking about a certain concept in the same individual. This study aimed to build a conceptual profile for…

The focus of the present study is the learning processes of concepts related to hydrogen bonds, which were developed using a didactic sequence (DS). Based on the perspective of Imre Lakatos, it was observed whether the explanatory models created by upper-secondary students form progressive transition sequences, which are similar to what Lakatos,…

Vieira, Lucas Augusto; Júnior, José Bento Suart; de Oliveira Prado, Danielle Gonçalves; Ramires, Thiago Gentil; Fernandes, Vitor Borsatto – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2022
The present work is the report of an intern, who through the theme: "Drugs" shows the importance of the use of didactic sequence in the teaching of chemistry for the construction of concepts. The content was applied in classes of the 3rd year of high school, in a public school, in the city of Apucarana - PR. In this sense, the main types…

Buske, Rodrigo; Bartholomei-Santos, Marlise Ladvocat – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Genetics is an area that is increasingly important in people's daily lives. Despite this, its teaching/learning is among the most challenging topics in biology. Several instruments were created over a number of years to ascertain the quality of teaching and learning genetics. In our study, we created a specific instrument to investigate Mendelian…

Pazinato, Maurícius S.; Bernardi, Flávia M.; Miranda, Ana Carolina G.; Braibante, Mara Elisa F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This work aims to evaluate the evolution of chemical bonding concepts of high school students at public schools in southern Brazil. For this, we built the epistemological profile of each student who took part in a teaching-learning sequence (TLS) about this topic, based on the foundations of Bachelard's theory. Following the principles of the…

Silveira, Lucas Fagundes; Xavier, Christian Santos; Perez, Maíra Alexandre; Bozza, Dandie Antunes; Furtado-Alle, Lupe; Hass, Iris; Tureck, Luciane Viater – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
In this paper, we describe a dynamic-model as a strategy to teach DNA transcription and translation in an active way. This activity aims to provide learning beyond memorisation through the simulation of molecular processes, stimulating the elaboration of questions and hypotheses by students. The dynamic consists of four steps, starting with…

Mattos Feijó, Larissa; de Andrade, Viviane Abreu; Coutinho-Silva, Robson – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
The digestive system is a fundamental topic in biological science teaching. Despite its importance, the level of students' knowledge on the topic appears to differ from recommended levels at several educational grades. Their knowledge also seems to be resistant to change; therefore, this discrepancy may be viewed as an epistemological obstacle to…

Marcom, Guilherme Stecca; Villar, Renato Pacheco; Kleinke, Maurício Urban – Physics Education, 2022
Research on problem-solving strategies has been conducted since the 1940s. Experts and novices use different strategies in problem solving; the main difference is in the familiarity with which they face new problems. For multiple-choice problems, an analysis of distractors can provide possible clues about the resolution processes developed by…

Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Tavares, Gustavo Medina; Bobrowski, Vera Lucia – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
The integrative role that Evolutionary theory plays within Biology is recognised by most scientific authors, as well as in governmental education policies, including Brazilian policies. However, teaching and learning evolution seems problematic in many countries, and Brazil is among those. Many factors may affect teachers' and students'…

This report provides information about an interactive computer game named Say My Name that allows high school and undergraduate students to review individually nomenclature of organic compounds in an engaging and fun way by answering up to 600 questions distributed in three difficulty levels. Responses from students and teachers who have played…

Cunha, Leonardo Rodrigues; de Oliveria Cudischevitch, Cecília; Carneiro, Alan Brito; Macedo, Gustavo Bartholomeu; Lannes, Denise; da Silva-Neto, Mário Alberto Cardoso – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2014
We evaluate a new approach to teaching the basic biochemistry mechanisms that regulate the biology of Triatominae, major vectors of "Trypanosoma cruzi," the causative agent of Chagas disease. We have designed and used a comic book, "Carlos Chagas: 100 years after a hero's discovery" containing scientific information obtained by…

da Luz, Mauricio Roberto Motta Pinto – Advances in Physiology Education, 2008
In the present work, I investigated the origin of the misconception that glucose is the sole metabolic fuel previously described among Brazilian high school students. The results of a multiple-choice test composed of 24 questions about a broad range of biology subjects were analyzed. The test was part of a contest and was answered by a sample…
