Resumen

En el presente trabajo se realiza una revisión bibliográfica sobre las dificultades de enseñanza y aprendizaje en el campo conceptual de la radiactividad. Se lleva a cabo el análisis desde diferentes perspectivas: ideas previas de los alumnos, ideas de profesores en formación, actividades de aula y propuestas didácticas. Se exploran las causas de dichas dificultades y se obtienen grandes coincidencias entre las ideas de alumnos y profesores en formación.
