Uma visão holística da Terra e do Espaço nas suas vertentes naturais e humanas. Homenagem à Professora Celeste Romualdo Gomes

Metamorphic rocks and, consequently, the metamorphic processes responsible for their genesis, are thematic contents taught in the discipline of Biology and Geology of the 10th and 11th years of schooling, widely represented in the Geology of Portugal, which allows a contextualized teaching, using different strategies and methodologies that value Science, and the development of skills to deal with the challenges of the contemporary society, which is more and more technological and globalizing. The universe of rocks and the teaching/learning of metamorphism are presented as the theme of this project, which aims to: 1) evaluate the cognitive level, according to Bloom's revised taxonomy, of the theoretical and practical contents, included in school textbooks of the 10th/11th years and national exams of Biology and Geology, and verify whether they are congruent; 2) to analyze the students' responses to questions of the national exams on metamorphic rocks, taking into account their cognitive level; 3) select practical activities in school textbooks, scientific books and didactic websites of national and international universities, to build digital, innovative and interactive didactic-pedagogical resources that can be applied in a real context; 4) to validate the materials constructed to assess their didactic and scientific correction; and 5) to assess the contribution of the resources built in the adequate learning of the students and in the construction of literacy in Geosciences.
