Abstract

This work is focused on the learning-teaching difficulties of key concepts about ocean literacy. Obligatory Secondary Education (OSE) future teachers´ and OSE 4th degree students´ ideas about sea ecosystems were examined and conceptual difficulties were defined, through drawings and a questionnaire. Thus, it could be confirmed that knowledge about the sea was very poor among the groups studied. However, to promote the knowledge about the ocean and clarify conceptual errors among OSE students, a didactic sequence was designed and implemented. In this sequence students visited Getxo Aquarium and a work was realized individually by students to describe different sea ecosystems using ICT. The evaluation of the students´ works showed that this motivating activity was effective in promoting ocean literacy and to think about conceptual errors.
