Una aproximación a las representaciones del alumnado sobre el Universo

Abstract

This study explains how the children from secondary school (age 14-18) represent the structure of the universe and the way it may be useful in daily teaching.

The results obtained describe the same conceptualization difficulties that the younger students already have, as well as the need for studying deeply the process for learning of those students as far as, having dealt with those contents before, they have not reached the expected scientific knowledge concerning the topic.
