- Una tipología de casos para enseñar el modelo de evolución por selección natural(2018) González Galli, Leonardo; Meinardi, Elsa Noemí; Pérez, Gastón MarianoThe teaching of all content requires using specific cases or examples as problems that give meaning to the construction of nearby scientific models. There are several criteria for the selection of such cases. In this paper we present the fundamentals of a proposal for the selection of cases for the teaching of the model of evolution by natural selection. This proposal is based on the interaction between these cases and the epistemological conceptions and obstacles of the students. Each category of cases proposed here is defined by the concepts and obstacles whose explanation and revision facilitates. It is also suggested that the awareness of these conceptions and obstacles is a necessary condition for learning as it is understood from the theoretical framework of modeling.
- Análisis del discurso especista antropocéntrico en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria(2018) González, Patricia; González Berruga, Manuel ÁngelThe animal welfare issue, animal liberation and the acknowledge of animal as sentient beings with rights which protect their physical and psychological integrity contrary on the speciesist speech are more present in the public speech from different fields. Although contributions from different perspectives and aspirations are noticed, from a critic perspective, the consideration of animals doesn´t take up a relevant area in the educational research field. The present paper shows the results of a conducted research in order to know the speciesist speech level in the curriculum and educational resources used in Compulsory Secondary Education with content analysis technique.
- La memoria democrática en las aulas de secundaria y bachillerato : balance de una experiencia didáctica(2018) Galiana i Cano, VicentThis article presents the results of an investigation on the conception and knowledge of democratic memory in secondary school and college. This study is accomplished by means of the preparation and implementation of a didactic proposal based on the local history and the conception of the classroom as a space for research. Likewise, learning mechanisms, transformations in the perception of the students and results of the didactic project are analysed, which permit us to provide, therefore, some keys for the work of history and memory in learning the Spanish Civil War and Francoist repression.
- ¿Te gusta conducir? Una mirada crítica desde la publicidad de coches y su retórica medioambiental(2018) García Martín, Miguel AngelSustainable development, as well as other narratives within the framework of environmental conservation, is often used as an advertising resource to improve a brand image. In this paper, a teaching proposal based on a critical analysis of the discourse of a set of television commercials is presented. Specific attention is given to the car industry, due to its huge environmental implications and its impact in mass media and popular culture. This study highlights that persuasive discourses around automobile still persist, which are more emotional than rational, as a way to elude the true debates about today's social and environmental challenges.
- Pensar la ciudad global desde sus representaciones escolares : un estudio de caso entre Valencia (España) y Bogotá (Colombia)(2018) García Monteagudo, Diego; Torres Pérez, Luis GuillermoThe conceptions of the urban space of Secondary Education students of several centres of Valencia and Bogotá approach us to the school representation of the global city. The relationship between social representations and the geography of perception and behaviour reveals that students build ideas about the immediate urban space within the social community to which they belong. Mobility, social relations and attachment to the immediate urban space are dissimilar aspects in both cities, but they lead us to affirm the need to strengthen teaching strategies that include the lived space and the local scale to face the learning of the global city.
- La Guerra Civil en los libros de visitas. Fuentes de conocimiento sobre formación y participación ciudadana(2018) Jaén Milla, SantiagoThis study intends to make an approach to the guestbooks of an antiaircraft shelter built during the Civil War in Jaen, trying to assess the opinion and knowledge that scholars, tourists and visitors in general, have of the war nowadays, and to appreciate these opinions as acts of civic participation on the conflict, on the patrimonial element visited and the musealization made within the space, among other issues.
- Entrelazando la Ética con las Ciencias Experimentales : una propuesta didáctica para la capacitación de profesores con la serie Breaking Bad(2018) Cambra Badii, Irene; Lorenzo, María GabrielaThe need to articulate disciplinary issues with the Nature of Science, the relationship between Science, Technology and Society, and the interrogation on ethical aspects of teaching and knowledge is becoming more and more evident these days. In this article, we present an action-research consisting on a proposal for training science teachers based on the TV-series Breaking Bad. The results showed different ways of conceiving science, scientific work and its teaching. The rise of ethically controversial situations in secondary school is remarkable. The proposal encouraged debate and reflection on a series of events with broad social impact, and provided the necessary metacognitive processes for the transformation of educational practices.
- Medios de Comunicación e Historia Reciente. Un estudio con alumnado chileno de Secundaria(2018) Sánchez Agustí, María; Vásquez Leyton, Gabriela; Vásquez Lara, NelsonThe aim of this paper is to analyse Chilean secondary-education students? ideas regarding this nation?s transition to democracy, taking special interest in their sources of historical knowledge concerning this process. This study, which applies a mixed-methods approach, makes use of the narratives obtained from 616 students belonging to private, subsidised and municipal schools located in Chile?s main urban areas. Students? perceptions are gathered by using a closed and open-ended questionnaire, and analysed by using a statistical computer software. The results show that, despite the high formative potential of history classes, the Chilean transition to democracy is not given a prominent importance in schools, leaving students no other choice than to resort to extracurricular sources to gain access to this knowledge.
