Castro de Jesus, Louise; Cabral, Luiz Mors – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
During the COVID-19 pandemic, all on-campus activities were required to be adapted to a distance-learning format, which was especially challenging for practical courses. Molecular biology is a mandatory course for biology undergraduates at Universidade Federal Fluminense. To overcome the impossibility of practical activities, we proposed…

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…

Locatelli, Solange Wagner; Davidowitz, Bette – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
The objective of this work was to evaluate the implementation of a metavisual strategy for students to revise and self-regulate concepts arising in a study of a chemical reaction between ions. For this purpose, two chemistry education undergraduate students at a Brazilian public university carried out an investigative activity, involving…

Pereira, Constantino Fernandez; Alcalde, Manuel; Villegas, Rosario; Vale, Jose – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The four types of ionic equilibria--acid-base, redox, precipitation, and complexation--have certain similarities, which has led some authors to develop a unified treatment of them. These authors have highlighted the common aspects and tried to find a systemization of the equilibria that would facilitate learning them. In this unified treatment,…

Spiegel, Carolina N.; Alves, Gutemberg G.; Cardona, Tania da S.; Melim, Leandra M. C.; Luz, Mauricio R. M. P.; Araujo-Jorge, Tania C.; Henriques-Pons, Andrea – Journal of Biological Education, 2008
The role of games within education becomes clearer as students become more active and are able to take decisions, solve problems and react to the results of those decisions. The educational board game "Discovering the Cell" ("Celula Adentro"), is based on problem-solving learning. This investigative game attempts to stimulate…

Pietrocola, Mauricio; Zylbersztajn, Arden – International Journal of Science Education, 1999
Reports on the extent to which the Principle of Relativity was employed by students when dealing with various phenomena. Concludes that the Principle of Relativity is not used as an heuristic tool in students' answers, and that the situations presented were not regarded as "problematic" by the students, who primarily used interpretive…
