Energy Literacy of Prospective Primary School Teachers
The word “energy” is one of the most used in our daily language. People are constantly reminded to save energy, use it efficiently, and increase the use of renewable energy, which is much more environmentally friendly than non-renewable energy. Citizens need to develop a good level of energy literacy, that is, a general predisposition, and, at the same time, a competence for engaging in desirable behaviours in the area of energy consumption. Teac…

Nineteen teachers were interviewed, and their interviews were analysed using content analysis techniques. The findings …
Understanding Science Teachers’ Integration of Active Methodologies in Club Settings
This study analyses if school science clubs may serve as a resource to facilitate the introduction of active methodologies into science classrooms. Focusing on science clubs in Portuguese schools, this study aims to determine whether the teachers who coordinate and direct these clubs promote activities that incorporate aspects of problem-based learning and project-based learning methodologies. In order to do so, a series of semi-structured interv…

What conceptualizations about science communication are held by museum coordinators and how representative are they of the real practices? We explor…

Uma educação que possa contribuir não só para as inovações científicas e tecnológicas na sociedade angolana, mas também para formar indivíduos crítico…
