Popis
Shrnutí:Plant blindness is the inability to see or consider plants as living beings. In this work we show that primary, secondary, and high school education students exhibit this tendency to not see plants as living beings, or to tend to see animals more readily as such, and also a tendency to not perceive humans as animals. The same thing happens with future teachers, completing a cycle in which those who are learning, and those who will later teach, harbour the same biases. These findings suggest that to break this cycle it is necessary to work with pre-service teachers at the university level so that they are aware of this phenomenon and willing to embrace a more balanced and accurate interpretation of nature, teaching youth the importance of interpreting the environment in which they live.
