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…

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…

Batista, Rita; Borba, Rute; Henriques, Ana – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
This study aims to analyse the reasoning that children and adults with the same school level use to assess and justify the fairness of games, considering aspects of probability such as randomness, sample space, and comparison of probabilities. Data collection included a Piagetian clinical interview based on games of chance. The results showed that…

Luz, Mauricio R. M. P.; Oliveira, Gabriel A.; Da Poian, Andrea T. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2013
A misconception regarding the human metabolism has been shown to be widespread among high school students. The students consider glucose as the sole metabolic fuel, disregarding that lipids and amino acids can be oxidized for ATP production by human cells. This misconception seems to be a consequence of formal teaching in grade and high schools.…

Picton, Oliver James – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2008
This paper reports on a small-scale pilot study undertaken at a secondary school in England, exploring how children learn about and construct distant places. Using drawings, concept mapping and interviews, the research examines the process of learning about Brazil over a period of formal learning, and how teaching and resources influence…

Peer reviewedMortimer, Eduardo F. – Science and Education, 1995
Presents a model to analyze conceptual evolution in the classroom, based on the notion of conceptual profile. Suggests that it is possible to use different ways of thinking in different domains, a new concept does not necessarily replace previous ideas, and learning science is to change a conceptual profile and become conscious of different zones…
