Description
We present a study of colloquial knowledge in understanding concepts in the field of thermodynamics.The TCE test was adapted to local specificities [1]. Approximately 400 people were surveyed. The aim of the study was to find out how the understanding of concepts: heat, temperature and energy evolve with the age of the respondents, and whether education significantly changes the perception of these concepts. The conclusions we were able to draw from the collected results, when compared with publications and research in other countries, may have a impact on how we should structure the didactic process in our education system.
