| Sumario: | This research presents a case study about the meaning of photosynthesis carried out from a research activity, developed with students from sixth grade of primary education. The resulted meanings were analysed based on the meaningful learning forms such as: super-ordinate, subordinate and combined. One month after the completion of this research activity, students were subjected to evaluative activities with the purpose of verifying the transference of the meanings produced for new problematic situations. The results show that students overcame some conceptual errors in the comprehension of the photosynthesis concept, in relation to the prior knowledge initially identified in their knowledge structure. Moreover, it was possible to check the hierarchical manner in the organization of photosynthesis meanings in their cognitive structure. |
