BIZZO, Nelio  e  MOLINA, Adela. El mito Darwinista en el aula de clase: un análisis de fuentes de información al gran público. Ciência educ. [online]. 2004, vol.10, n.03, pp.401-416. ISSN 1516-7313.

This article aims at analyzing how secondary sources of information of Darwinism present key-concepts of the theory. This analysis is considered important for educational purposes as primary sources rarely are used . Huxley and Kettlewell´s book, “Darwin and His World” was studied, as well as Richard Dawkins´ “The Blind Watchmaker”. These two books have been major references for teachers and students. This article shows how distorted some concepts are, as well as some factual evidence about the chronology of the construction of the theory.

Palavras-chave : Teaching of Evolution; Darwinism; History of Science; Secondary Sources.
