GOMES, Alessandro Damásio Trani. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAUSALITY MODELS AND STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE IN INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2023, vol.25, e45947.  Epub 25-Out-2023. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172022240155.

This work aims to explore the relationship between causality models and the experimental performance of students during investigative activities. Ninety-two first-year high school students from a federal public school participated in this quantitative research, with a pre-experimental design, in which they were asked about the causality of variables before and after carrying out investigative activities through a computer simulation. The results suggest that the participants who presented an adequate model of causality of the variables involved tended to present more adequate experimentation strategies, resulting in better experimental performance and higher scores in the final test.
