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…

Porfirio, Grasiela; Sarmento, Pedro; Fonseca, Carlos – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2014
Surveys to assess environmental knowledge are elementary tools to ensure successful environmental education. Felines are considered key components of the environment, acting as flagships for conservation. Nevertheless, they are threatened by loss of habitat, prey reductions, and poaching. In the mosaic of protected areas in the Brazilian Pantanal,…

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…
