FERRAZ, Daniela Frigo e TERRAZZAN, Eduardo Adolfo. Uso espontâneo de analogias por professores de biologia e o uso sistematizado de analogias: que relação?. Ciência educ. [online]. 2003, vol.09, n.02, pp.213-227. ISSN 1516-7313.
Many writers have reflected upon the subject of metaphors and analogies, to bring understanding to areas of specific knowledge, and to facilitate knowledge in the development of a scholastic discipline. This paper is part of a Masters dissertation in which high school biology teachers were observed, with the objective of assessing the spontaneous use of analogies in the classroom. It presents the results obtained from a comparison made between the spontaneous use of analogies and the TWA model - Teaching With Analogies (Harrison & Treagust, 1994), which is a model approved in several contexts for teaching with analogies. Observing issues that have been raised by some writers, as for example, Wilbers & Duit (2001) and from observations of spontaneous use of analogies in the classroom it was possible to highlight some limitations of this model.
