Science education plays a crucial role in addressing the pollinator crisis by enhancing knowledge and fostering changes in attitudes toward this environmental challenge. Previous research has been focused on validating a specific instrument related to this subject, although its use for assessing students' knowledge has been little explored. In the present study, we have evaluated the level of awareness regarding the significance of bees as primary pollinators among students of various disciplines at the Universities of Sevilla, in Spain, and Ouro Preto, in Brazil, emphasizing the importance of the plant-bee interaction. 753 students from the fields of biology, agriculture, and education were invited to complete a questionnaire focused on bee biology. The results indicate that knowledge on the subject is closely linked to professional career choice and that the training program for the future teachers effectively increased comprehension of the crucial role played by bees as main supporters of the ecosystem service of pollination.
科学教育通过增强知识和促进对这一环境挑战态度的转变，在应对传粉者危机方面发挥着关键作用。以往的研究主要集中在验证与该主题相关的特定工具，尽管其用于评估学生知识的情况鲜有探讨。在本研究中，我们评估了西班牙塞维利亚大学和巴西欧鲁普雷图大学不同学科的学生对蜜蜂作为主要传粉者重要性的认识水平，强调了植物与蜜蜂相互作用的重要性。邀请了来自生物学、农业和教育领域的753名学生填写一份关于蜜蜂生物学的问卷。结果表明，该主题的知识与职业选择密切相关，并且未来教师的培训计划有效地提高了对蜜蜂作为授粉生态系统服务主要支持者所起关键作用的理解。
