Encouraging sustainability in science education demands a collaborative approach, involving the integration of diverse knowledge systems, including indigenous and formal scientific knowledge. Nevertheless, educators' perceptions of these knowledge systems are crucial factors to consider. This study investigated the perceptions of pre-service…

Teaching natural sciences can be challenging, especially with unmotivated or disinterested students. The challenge increases when the term "Didactics" appears in the subjects under study, for example, with Didactics of Natural Sciences. The present work details the design and execution process of an escape room experience used as a…
