Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The interaction between academic and school students through scientific dissemination can be significant to the education of both groups. In this sense, this work aimed to identify science dissemination activities addressed to school-age students by undergraduate or post- graduate Biology students from the School of Sciences of the University of Minho (ECUM). We searched all the pages of the "Events", "News", and "Society" tabs of the ECUM website, your "Activity Reports", and the departments and centres virtual pages linked to Biology. In the period between 2014 and 2023, twenty-five events/entities of interest were found. The majority aimed at primary and secondary school students, followed by those focussing solely on primary education. On the other hand, a lack of activities with pre-school children was found. The most categories mentioned were "Lectures, seminars, round tables" and "Hands- on activities, games, laboratory practices". The events that grouped the largest number of different activities were: "European Researchers' Night", its "Preparatory Activities", "Science Festival", "Open Weekend", and "UMinho Open Doors". Furthermore, the events found focus on showing and discussing the paths and daily routines of researchers, such as: "Learning with Scientists", "Science Holidays at the Junior Campus", "Researchers Return to School", "Visits by Academics to Schools", and "Visits Program to the School of Sciences". Lastly, stand out the existence of projects aimed explicitly at disseminating science linked to Biology, such as "Science Through Our Lives" and "Scientia.com.pt - Experiment@Ciência".
