- Covid-19 literacy as a modulator of emotions linked to the pandemicPublication . Fernández, Raquel Romero; Castanedo, Yolanda González; Pérez, Mª Ángeles De las Heras; Monteiro, RuteAn inquiry-based teacher training proposal concerning covid-19 was implemented during lockdown with Pre-Primary Education Degree students. The objective was to analyse how the workshop changed the students' emotions and their knowledge linked to the pandemic. To this end, the participants responded to an open-ended questionnaire passed out before and after the workshop, and to a Likert-type questionnaire on emotions when they handed in their responses. The results show that, in the case of learning, the students modified their covid-19 literacy to a greater or lesser extent and, in the case of emotions, they felt less fear, anger, concern, and insecurity, and greater tranquillity and optimism. In conclusion, an emotional modulation is perceived in which scientific literacy participates.
- Animals "R" Us: egomorphism in/for science and environmental educationPublication . Monteiro, Rute; Reis, GiulianoWe argue for the notion of egomorphism as an inexorable discursive element in/for children's interspecies encounters mediated by nature interpreters. We do so by examining the discourses of a public environmental educator in Canada and a dolphin trainer in a marine park in Portugal while mediating such pedagogical experiences. Our analytical work contributes to expanding the understanding of how human-nonhuman interactions can create opportunities in science and environmental education to disrupt the notion that humans are superior and therefore removed from other animals.
