| Misinforming, Misunderstanding, Misconceptions: What Informing Science Can Do |
| University of Cassino, Italy |
| First of all a survey of the most relevant definitions and hypotheses concerning data, information, com-munication |
| and knowledge is proposed. Main aim of this introduction is to give to the reader a reference frame for the analysis |
| of the students’ learning and for their knowledge construction works. |
| Soon after some wrong ideas are analyzed with respect to the above conceptual frame, i.e. with respect to didactic |
| communication, to human knowledge construction and to individual cleverness in the use of the concepts |
| pertaining to specific disciplinary fields. |
| At last some considerations on the above results are reported and some hints and suggestions for a revi-sion of the |
| Informing Science definition are proposed; all is done in a perspective that assigns to Inform-ing Science a trans- |
| disciplinary function that helps well-established disciplines like Didactics, Psychol-ogy, Philosophy etc. to find new |
| strategies for the analysis of the teaching-learning process. |
| Keywords: Informing Science, Data, Information, Communication, Knowledge |
