<p><em>This paper presents a comparative research between high school and college students, regarding the basic concepts of electrolysis. The importance of electrolysis as a crossroad between sciences,</em><em> </em><em>and as essential for understanding the causes of electricity and the influence on technology, is emphasized. The results showed a significant difference between the pre-test and the post-tests. The achievements of the college students were higher than those of the high school, however some of the difficulties observed in the high school still exist to some extent in the college. This paper argues that the history of science can be a useful and fruitful inspiration to science teaching. </em></p>

ResumoA História da Ciência (HC) na interface com o ensino contribui para que a aprendizagem dos conceitos tratados pela ciência aconteça de forma significativa e contextualizada, permitindo a compreensão de sua natureza. Nessa perspectiva, o episódio histórico de Louis Pasteur (LP), tratando de sua vida e obra, foi transformado em uma sequência didática (SD) voltada aos estudantes do Ensino Médio (EM) e licenciandos em Química. A apresentação e a discussão desse episódio histórico favorecem a apropriação dos conceitos científicos inerentes aos conteúdos abordados no EM, envolvendo o estudo da isomeria óptica, da fermentação e dos micro-organismos. A SD proposta constitui-se das seguintes etapas: aplicação de um questionário virtual, apresentação de um vídeo sobre a vida e obra de LP, leitura de livro específico, abordagem de conceitos químicos, físicos e biológicos e demonstração de um experimento. O desenvolvimento desta proposta evidencia o potencial pedagógico interdisciplinar da HC. Palavras-chave: História da Ciência; Proposta de Ensino; Interdisciplinaridade.AbstractThe History of Science (HS) in the interface with teaching contributes for the learning of the concepts treated by science in a significant and contextualized way, allowing the understanding of its nature. In this perspective, the historical episode of Louis Pasteur (LP), related to his life and work, was transformed into a didactic sequence (DS) for high school (HS) students and chemistry graduates. The presentation and discussion of this historical episode helped for the appropriation of the scientific concepts related to the contents addressed in the HS, involving the study of optical isomerism, fermentation and microorganisms. The proposed DS is composed by the following steps: application of a virtual questionnaire, presentation of a video about the life and work of LP, specific book reading, approach to chemical, physical and biological concepts and demonstration of an experiment. The development of this proposal highlights the interdisciplinary pedagogical potential of HS.Keywords: History of Science; Teaching Proposal; Interdisciplinarity.

Many works by Muslim scientists that have not been used as science teaching materials in Islamic schools (madrasah), generally the teaching materials given at the Islamic schools (madrasah) are the same as the teaching materials given in high school. This writing aims to uncover the findings of Muslim scientists who can be used as science teaching materials in Islamic schools (madrasah). The method of discussion used in this paper is the history of science with an Islamic perspective and demonstrative science learning methods. Data is collected through literature. The results of the study revealed that the motion theory of Ibn Bajah that influenced Galileo Galilei could be taught in Islamic schools (madrasah). The aim is to enrich students' insight into the Islamic perspective.

The present study examined the relationship between high risk drinking and college students' self-perceptions. High risk drinking was defined as the consumption of four or more drinks in a row for women and five or more drinks in a row for men during a single sitting (within the last year). Historical trends regarding college-age drinking indicate that 44% of college students fit the criteria for high risk drinking at least once over the past year. A survey was administered to 210 college students (52 men and 158 women) between 18 and 22 years of age ( M = 20.9, SD = 1.3) to assess their use of alcohol and their self-perceptions. Students' self-perceptions were measured with four subscales from the Neemann-Harter Self-perception Profile for College Students. Students either volunteered to participate in this study outside of class or were solicited during class. It was predicted that students' self-perceptions would differ significantly depending upon their alcohol consumption, i.e., 17.1% were Abstainers, 25.2% were Nonproblem Drinkers, and 57.6% were High Risk Drinkers. Analysis gave significant difference on Global Self-worth between students who abstained and those who were High Risk Drinkers. However, students' perceptions of Scholastic Competence, Intellectual Ability, and Social Acceptance did not differ significantly for the alcohol consumption groups. In addition to high risk drinking, a number of other variables were associated with self-perceptions, such as high school alcohol use, low high school GPA, and students' reported academic involvement. These relations are discussed.

The research problem relates to the examination of the relationof socio-demographic characteristics (gender, level of education and the place where most of childhood was spent) and the self-esteem of the respondents with loneliness.In investigating this problem, the focus was primarily on the perception of the distribution of loneliness, and the examination of the relation of independent variables (socio-demographic characteristics and self-esteem) with the dependent variable (loneliness).The sample of respondents consists of 677 high school students (49.34%) and college students (50.66%) of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The range of years of subjects ranges from 15 to 23 (AS = 18.696).The results of the study show that there is a statistically significant difference in loneliness with regard to gender (U = 38672.000, Z = -6.122, p = .000), to the level of education (U = 42292.500, Z = -5.905, p = .000) and the place in which the respondents spent most of their childhood (χ2 = 9.383, df = 2, sig = .009). The results show that there is a statistically significant relation between self-esteem and loneliness (ro = -.401, sig = .000, N = 676).

ResumoEste estudo visa analisar o filme Frankenstein de Mary Shelley a partir da visão de graduandos, para que o mesmo venha a ser empregado como recurso midiático para uma abordagem introdutória da História da Ciência no ensino. Para tanto, oito monitores de Química do Centro de Ciências e Planetário, graduandos de licenciatura em Química, assistiram ao filme, em seguida, realizaram uma sinopse e, posteriormente, e responderam a um questionário. As respostas apontaram que o filme consegue transpor a ideia do que era ser um cientista e como a Ciência se desenvolvia. Pontuam também vários temas que podem ser levantados pelos professores relacionados ao papel da ciência na sociedade. Isso mostra como mídias visuais são recursos dinâmicos para uma abordagem introdutória, visto que, além de narrar os fatos, fica gravado na mente dos alunos a impressão visual de como a ciência foi desenvolvida ao longo dos séculos. Palavras-chave: História da Ciência; Ensino de Ciências; Recurso didático.AbstractThis study aims to analyze the film Frankenstein from undergraduate vision, so that it will be used as a media resource for an introductory approach to the History of Science in teaching. Therefore, eight trainees of Chemical Sciences and Planetary Center, undergraduate students in chemistry, watched the film, and then held a synopsis and then answered a questionnaire. The answers showed that the film manages to transpose the idea of what was to be a scientist and a science developed. Also punctuate several issues that can be raised by teachers related to the role of science in society. This shows how visual media are dynamic resources for an introductory approach view that in addition to narrating the facts is engraved in the minds of students the visual impression of how science has developed over the centuries.Keywords: History of Science; Science Teaching; Teaching resource.
