Esquemas conceptuales de los alumnos sobre la respiración

Abstract

In this article we report our findings about the ideas and beliefs sustained by a sample of students (from a variety of levels, i.e. EGB 6th and 8th grade levels as well as School of Education students) on the topic of human breathing. As well as specific misconceptions, alternative frameworks to scientific knowledge, which should be taken into account by the teacher when planning a lesson, are pointed out.
