A ciência cidadã é uma prática científica com enorme potencial em estudos de monitorização da biodiversidade num contexto de alterações climáticas e na contribuição para a educação em alterações climáticas no 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. O objetivo desta investigação foi compreender as perceções dos professores sobre quais as potencialidades e constrangimentos na sua participação e da dos seus alunos em um projeto de ciência cidadã com uma abordagem investigativa sobre a monitorização das espécies da zona entremarés. Participaram neste estudo 7 professores de 10 turmas do 4.º ano do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Com recurso a uma metodologia de métodos mistos, os dados foram recolhidos através de inquéritos por questionário e entrevista semiestruturada aos professores e grelhas de observação preenchidas por estes. Os resultados revelaram que os professores no decorrer do projeto reconheceram as potencialidades da ciência cidadã para a sua própria prática pedagógica e no desenvolvimento de competências nos alunos. Esta investigação reforçou a importância da incorporação de projetos de ciência cidadã com uma abordagem investigativa em contexto escolar tanto no desenvolvimento de competências nos alunos como também dos professores.

Citizen science is an approach with huge potential in the study of biodiversity patterns in climate change scenarios. Its potential has also been recognized to contribute to the development of climate change education at earlier ages. This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of in-service teachers about the contribution of citizen science to climate change education. Seven teachers from 10 different elementary school classes participated in this study. Through a mixed methodology, data was collected using questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The results revealed that teachers recognized the potential of citizen science for their own pedagogical practice and students´ developed skills. This study reinforces the importance of teachers’ involvement in citizen science projects. It also stresses the importance of incorporating citizen science projects with an investigative approach in the school context for students and teachers to develop skills.

La ciencia ciudadana es un enfoque con un enorme potencial en el monitoreo de la biodiversidad en un contexto de cambio climático y para contribuir a la educación sobre cambio climático en la Educación Primaria. El objetivo de esta investigación era comprender las percepciones de los maestros sobre las posibilidades y limitaciones de su participación y la de sus alumnos en proyectos de ciencia ciudadana. Participaron en este estudio 7 maestros de 10 clases de Educación Primaria. Con una metodología de métodos mixtos, los datos fueron recogidos a través de cuestionarios y entrevistas semiestructuradas a los maestros y de las planillas de observación rellenadas por ellos. Los resultados revelaron que en el curso del proyecto los maestros reconocieron el potencial de la ciencia ciudadana para su propia práctica pedagógica y desarrollo de competencias por los estudiantes. Esta investigación reforzó la importancia de incorporar proyectos de ciencia ciudadana con un abordaje investigativo en el contexto escolar para el desarrollo de competencias tanto de alumnos como de maestros.

This activity can be used to improve acquisition of knowledge on the effects of climate change and to promote inquiry skills, such as researching, reading and selecting relevant information, identifying a problem, focusing on a research question, making predictions, planning experiments, observing and registering data, drawing conclusions, developing explanations and communicating findings to class. The activity is suitable for 8- to 13-year-old students and can be used in the classroom.

Students were asked to study fish adaptations to deep sea, through the exploration of a fictional story, based on historical data and based on the work of the King that served as a guiding script for all the subsequent tasks. In both museums, students had access to: historical collections of organisms, oceanographic biological sampling instruments, fish gears and ships. They could also observe the characteristics and adaptations of diverse fish species characteristic of deep sea. The present study aimed to analyse the impact of these activities on students' scientific knowledge, on their understanding of the nature of science and on the devel- opment of transversal skills. All students considered the project very popular. The results obtained suggest that the activity promoted not only the understanding of scientific con- cepts, but also stimulated the development of knowledge about science itself and the construction of scientific knowledge, stressing the relevance of creating activities informed by the history of science. As a final remark we suggest that the partnership between elementary schools and museums should be seen as an educational project, in which the teacher has to assume a key mediating role between the school and the museums.

A total of 123 primary students were involved. They were asked to create a PMM, and a drawing, before and after the visit. The results suggest that the visit enhanced the degree to which students generate words and conceptual categories to describe their understanding of the suggested concepts. PMMs seemed to be a good tool to evaluate the impact of the activities on students' ideas about the thematic explored. Drawings helped to understand the main misconceptions.

This study analysed the effects of an inquiry-based science activity about climate change effects in ocean ecosystems, done in a research laboratory and in the classroom, on primary students’ knowledge, investigation skills and satisfaction. Data were collected through the application of pretests and posttests, direct observation, questionnaires, interviews and document analysis. Results revealed an increase in students’ scientific knowledge and application to new situations. Regarding investigation skills, all students were able to make predictions, and to easily observe and register data. However, experimental planning and conclusions were more difficult for them. Students and teachers emphasised their satisfaction with the outdoor activity, teamwork and the subject. The present study revealed a positive effect of the participation in the inquiry-based activity, embedded on a socio-scientific issue, in students’ conceptual knowledge and in the development of investigation skills.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
