Abstract

Over the past few years, students' perceptions of various Science concepts and phenomena have been identified and recorded. However, research that studies the perceptions and scientific knowledge of primary school students on topics related to the concept of sound is particularly limited. As a research approach, a systematic literature review was used which highlighted 20 articles from reputable international journals, indexed by Scopus, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Springer Link, and Eric, which analyze students' perceptions and scientific knowledge of the concept of sound. This study analyzed the studies according to their general characteristics consisting of publication type, publication year, and research approach. Through the analysis of the researches of the sample, data emerges regarding the type, use, and effect of the concept of sound in aspects of the educational process, but also data related to the methodological design of modern researches in the field. The results will form the basis for drawing conclusions regarding the situation in contemporary research but also for the formation of proposals for future research in the field of application and learning of the concept of sound in education.
