Description

The recent reintroduction of civic education, especially concerning sustainable development, opened the field to the design, implementation, and evaluation of teaching-learning sequences (TLS), focusing on the greenhouse effect and climate change, in high schools. These themes have gained weight in the student curriculum and, consequently, more space is being dedicated to them in high school textbooks. In this poster, we report on a critical analysis we performed, concerning the actual presence of improvements in the treatments dedicated to these topics in current textbooks, and the effectiveness of such improvements, starting from the results of previous studies.
