Abstract

We present an analysis of existing discrepancies between students and teacher trainers in valuing autonomous work in science subjects. To do this we have estimated the workload carried out by students, as well as what they would consider the most appropriate workload for activities in students’ workbooks. We have compared these with teachers’ planning. The results indicate that the students give less importance to activities which are designed to generate new knowledge, and on the other hand they consider traditional activities such as application exercises, work with class notes or examination preparation to be more important. Furthemore, a greater consideration of these activities correlates with lower academic performance.
