A complexidade da escala geológica numa prática lectivaassente no Trabalho de Campo: um exemplo para o Ensino Secundário

Abstract

Geology is a science that includes a range of concepts more abstract than others which makes itslearning a bit difficult. The space and time concept of the geological processes is an example of that difficulty, beingeven an obstacle to the students' process of learning. The research that is now presented intends to showthat making use of field work can be one of the teaching/learning strategies that more contributes for theunderstanding of the complexity concerning the space and time context that characterizes the geological processes.
