As for teachers’ misconceptions, we expected to detect: (1) poor knowledge of the scientific interpretation of the color vision phenomenon (QT1, QT2); (2) knowledge of primary colors only as pigment colors out of which all the others can be made (QT3, QT4); (3) inability to distinguish between “almost pure colors” (characterized by a dominant wavelenght and a narrow band) and colors produced by the addition of lights (QT5, QT6, QT8); (4) confusion between the mixture of pigments and that of colored lights (i.e. between additive and subtractive synthesis).	cache/ccsj-170.pdf	txt/ccsj-170.txt
