1Third Misconceptions Seminar Proceedings (1993) Paper Title: MISCONCEPTIONS: A CONCEPTUAL OR METHODOLOGICAL DEFICIENCY?- A Case Study showing a Theory in Action

Abstract: During my first years of teaching activity in the University my attention was focused, imperceptibly, by the most capable students of my classroom (I only had knowledge then...). As time went by and, perhaps, half-way in my history, my interest moved towards those students showing the lowest performances (I had already gained experience...). At present, after a long way gone through, I choose (full consciously) to put all my enthusiam on those students who, even having a learning potential, seem to have not found the means to develop such potential.
