Abstract: | The growing awareness of serious difficulties in the learning of energy issues has produced a great deal of research, most
of which is focused on specific conceptual aspects. In our opinion, the difficulties pointed out in the literature are interrelated
and connected to other aspects (conceptual as well as procedural and axiological), which are not sufficiently taken into account in previous research. This paper aims to carry
out a global analysis in order to avoid the more limited approaches that deal only with individual aspects. From this global
analysis we have outlined 24 propositions that are put forward for debate to lay the foundations for a profound reorientation
of the teaching of energy topics in upper high school courses, in order to facilitate a better scientific understanding of these topics, avoid many students’ misconceptions and enhance awareness of the current situation of planetary
emergency.
This paper has been conceived as a contribution to the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, established by the
UN General Assembly for the period 2005–2014. |
