Abstract

In order to foster motivation and learning about microorganisms, the implementation of practical activities has been recommended. However, Primary teachers rarely perform Microbiology practices, a branch of science in which they hold some misconceptions, like their students. To reverse this situation, it is necessary to develop the ability to teach these practices in prospective teachers. In this contribution we describe a practice to teach basic microbiological concepts to prospective Primary teachers, as well as the effect of its implementation in students learning outcomes and their emotions. Results show that the practice is effective, motivating and well-valued by participants in relation to their professional future, observing correlations between these aspects. In particular, positive associations between positive emotions and learning outcomes are detected, and between these and value towards practice; as well as negative association between negative emotions and learning outcomes
