Abstract

Through the means of a literature review, this article tackles the difficulties of teaching and learning about radioactivity and its related concepts. An analysis of the issue is carried out from different angles: students’ misconceptions, pre-service teachers’ ideas, classroom activities and teaching proposals. Having explored the causes of such difficulties, a large number of similarities between the thoughts of students and pre-service teachers can be found.
