Description
This study analyses 26 middle and high school italian textbooks on physics, science, geography, and technology to investigate how the greenhouse effect is presented and identify potential misconceptions. Through a content analysis approach, we aim to evaluate the accuracy and clarity of the information provided to students. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts in the field of climate change education and sustainability, building on our group's long-standing commitment to improving instructional practices. The findings will highlight common misunderstandings and suggest strategies for enhancing the representation of the greenhouse effect in educational materials.
