O uso de testes para promover o aprendizado de fatos sobre a teoria da evolução

Abstract

The retrieval of previously memorized information can be a didactic strategy in the educational context and promote the retention of the content information of science teaching. The simple retrieval of certain previously memorized information increases the long-term retention of this information, a phenomenon often named as "test effect". The testing effect is extremely reliable since, as shown in some reviews, it has been replicated in priors studies. However, the application of this strategy in science teaching hasnt investigated yet. This project has as general objective to investigate if the test effect can be an advantageous strategy for the process learning teaching of the evolution theme in science classes.
