| description | Photosynthesis is one of the most controversial topics for students, on the one hand, because of their lack of understanding and, on the other hand, it is a subject on which they have the most difficulties. Therefore, this research aims to describe the conceptions about photosynthesis of 24 10th and 11th grade students from an educational institution in the municipality of Coper, in the rural context of the department of Boyacá, Colombia. It was conducted according to a qualitative approach, which allows us to comprehend how students in a rural context understand photosynthesis and what other concepts they would associate in their conceptions. A 30-question questionnaire was used. It was found that students have alternative ideas that often lead them to think that photosynthesis is a type of plant respiration. It also became evident that they do not fully recognize the necessary compounds for the process to occur. This makes it very difficult for them to understand concepts such as autotrophic nutrition, breathing, gas exchange and metabolic pathways. |

Therefore, this research aims to describe the conceptions about photosynthesis of 24 10th and 11th grade students from an educational institution in the municipality of Coper, in the rural context of the department of Boyacá, Colombia.

La fotosíntesis es uno de los ejes temáticos más conflictivos para los estudiantes, por un lado, por su falta de comprensión y, por otro, es el tema con el cual más dificultades acumulan. Por ello, esta investigación pretende describir las concepciones acerca de la fotosíntesis de 24 estudiantes de grado décimo y undécimo de una institución educativa del municipio de Coper, en el contexto rural del departamento de Boyacá, Colombia. Se desarrolla según un enfoque cualitativo, que permite comprender cómo los estudiantes de un contexto rural entienden la fotosíntesis y qué otros conceptos pueden asociar en sus concepciones. Se utilizó un cuestionario de 30 preguntas. Se encontró que los estudiantes tienen ideas alternativas que a menudo los lleva a pensar que la fotosíntesis es un tipo de respiración de las plantas. También se hizo evidente que no reconocen en su totalidad los compuestos necesarios para que el proceso se lleve a cabo. Esto dificulta en gran medida la comprensión de conceptos como la nutrición autótrofa, la respiración, el intercambio gaseoso y rutas metabólicas. A fotossíntese é um dos eixos temáticos mais conflituosos para os estudantes, por um lado, devido à sua falta de compreensão e, por outro, é um tema com o qual acumulam mais dificuldades. Por esta razão, a pesquisa tem como objetivo descrever as concepções sobre a fotossíntese de 24 estudantes de décimo e décimo primeiro ano de uma instituição educacional no município de Coper, no contexto rural do departamento de Boyacá, Colômbia. Desenvolve-se de acordo com uma abordagem qualitativa, que permite compreender como os estudantes num contexto rural entendem a fotossíntese e que outros conceitos podem associar nas suas concepções. Foi utilizado um questionário de 30 perguntas. Verificouse que os estudantes apresentam ideias alternativas que muitas vezes os levam a pensar que a fotossíntese é um tipo de respiração das plantas. Também se evidenciou que eles não reconhecem completamente os compostos necessários para que o processo ocorra. Isto torna muito difícil a compreensão de conceitos como nutrição autotrófica, respiração, trocas gasosas e vias metabólicas.
