AB  - The paper Knowledge in shadow - misconceptions related to light phenomena 
that are retained in spite of education by Gordana Miščević, Sanja Blagdanić and 
Marija Bošnjak Stepanović emphasizes the need to point out the importance of 
initiating science education at an early age. In both children and adults, knowledge 
related to natural phenomena is created through interaction with the environment 
and through social interaction (with adults and peers), as well as through formal 
and informal learning situations. The aim of this research is to identify the 
frequency of various misconceptions related to light phenomena in fourth-grade 
students and primary school class teachers. Findings of this research reveal that 
the majority of students show a misconception related to the apparent change of 
the Sun’s position during daylight. Teachers mostly show no dilemma regarding 
shadow shape, and the same holds true for approximately two thirds of students. 
Additional findings are presented and discussed in the paper. Teachers should 
have an insight into the most frequent and typical misconceptions of students 
in order to identify them and react to them adequately. One of the main roles 
of the educational system is to identify these misconceptions and help students 
overcome them
