“…The persistence of this reasoning raises questions about the implications of intuitive frameworks for understanding biology. It is still not known how accurate scientific frameworks transition to, build upon, or interact with intuitive understandings, and students’ “misconceptions” can offer valuable insight into how instruction can build more complete understandings of scientific phenomena beyond simply focusing on correcting inaccurate ideas ( Maskiewicz and Lineback, 2013 ; Crowther and Price, 2014 ; Evans, 2017 ). Intuitive patterns of informal assumptions or predispositions are developed at an early age and can be useful in trying to understand the world around us ( Evans et al.…”

“…Andrews et al (2012) proposed a model for how students' understanding of genetic drift emerges during instruction, with three stages that were identified from studying college students' misconceptions about genetic drift. They defined misconceptions as understanding that is not scientifically accurate, and we follow that convention in this study as well (Crowther and Price 2014;Leonard et al 2014). Students in Stage 1 start with a novice understanding of both genetics and evolution, and they are struggling to use basic vocabulary correctly, without indicating conceptual understanding.…”

“…Esta carencia se manifiesta con la presencia de ideas que difieren de los conceptos científicamente aceptados (Maskiewicz y Lineback, 2013). Estas ideas fueron denominadas misconceptions en inglés y traducidas como concepciones alternativas, y han recibido muchas definiciones: "ideas inexactas que emergen de la instrucción", "un entendimiento alternativo erróneo construido en respuesta al conocimiento previo" o, simplemente, como ideas naifs o erróneas (Crowther y Price, 2014;Munson, 1994). Aquí las definiremos como "ideas científicamente inexactas sobre un concepto científico" (Andrews et al, 2012).…”

“…Más tarde se sugirió que la erradicación de las concepciones alternativas, sin una discusión previa que permita esclarecerlas o sustituirlas por conocimiento contrastado, contradice los principios del constructivismo (Smith, Disessa y Roschelle, 1993), ya que uno de sus principales pilares es el aprendizaje mediante la transformación y reconstrucción del conocimiento previo en ideas más acertadas (Maskiewicz y Lineback, 2013). En este contexto, las concepciones alternativas deberían ser "una oportunidad para la disonancia que podría utilizarse para el progreso educativo" (Crowther y Price, 2014). Esto sería, por ejemplo, el modelo de cambio conceptual (Posner, Strike, Hewson y Gertzog, 1982) que estipula que para que se dé una modificación constructiva de los errores debe existir: 1) insatisfacción con los conceptos existentes; 2) disponibilidad de un nuevo concepto inteligible; 3) este nuevo concepto debe ser demostrable; y 4) percibido como útil.…”
