¿Cómo formar el principio de esta oración para que suene natural?
De existir tal conocimiento sobre la mariposa monarca en el alumnado, ¿su aprendizaje se promovió a través de recursos educativos formales o por otros canales?
With the students having existing knowledge of the Monarch butterfly, was their learning developed through formal educational resources or by other means?

If [your] students are familiar with the monarch butterfly
Since we can't tell from the context available what the referent of the word 'tal' might be here, it's hard to know if this suggestion is precise enough. If it needs to be more specific, how about something like "If your students know (this) about monarch butterflies..."" or "If the students are aware of these things about monarch butterflies..."
Something went wrong...
