Analogies in science education: contributions and challenges
An analogy is a comparison between domains of knowledge that have similarities at the levels of characteristics and relationships. Several authors highlight the importance of this tool in the teaching and learning of difficult scientific concepts. Nevertheless, some problems associated to the use...

| description |
An analogy is a comparison between domains of knowledge that have similarities at
the levels of characteristics and relationships. Several authors highlight the importance of this
tool in the teaching and learning of difficult scientific concepts. Nevertheless, some problems
associated to the use of analogies have been found. This paper aims at contributing to a better
understanding of the use of analogies in science education, by means of a review of the state
of art regarding this matter. It will take into account its contribution to science education as
well as the challenges to further research |
