Enseñanza de las ciencias naturales mediante el modelo de ciencia escolar en el colegio técnico José Félix Restrepo IED grado cuarto.

Abstract

This research is attached to the Pedagogy, Curriculum and Assessment research line to the Teaching Masters Programm at Santo Tomás University. It was carried out under the action research method proposed by Whitehead; with fourth grade at José Félix Restrepo, Technical School located at C facility. It is a qualitative research with an interpretative approach, which allowed the permanent reflection of the researchers and their implication in the actions and in the improvement in their pedagogical practice. The research addresses the improvement of the Natural Sciences teaching practice throughout the school science model, that is, bringing students closer to science by transposing scientific knowledge into everyday knowledge. A didactic strategy based on the concept of “matter and its transformations” called Kitchen With- science was designed and implemented. In this, students based on significant experiences, build their learning; readjusting the information they already have (previous knowledge) with the new information, in a significant way as David Ausubel refers in his theory of meaningful learning. This was also consistent with the Education Institutional Plan – PEI- which addresses this meaningful learning approach within its constructivist model.
