Reflection in Action: A Key to Developing Competences for the Teaching of Science

Abstract

The aim of this research was to identify and analyse the concepts and ideas related to the nature of science, scientific concepts, and teaching and learn about science developed by a group of teachers during a training course for the teaching of sciences skills. The educational strategy was developed from a critical position on the expository models and guided discovery. Teachers assumed the role of students, reflecting on their learning and teaching and, eventually, rebuilding this learning situation with their students. In conclusion, the workshop promoted a conceptual change related to the topics and subjects addressed in the classroom: teachers' and the students'ideas related to learning about science; the evaluation of teaching; the development of creative and critical thinking; and, the development of scientific tools. Overall the teachers enjoyed the course and reoriented their approach to working in the classroom.

“…Se destacan igualmente, los estudios que aluden a las concepciones, creencias epistemológicas y concepciones del profesorado de CN (Díaz 2019;Fernández-Crispín, et al 2016;Radloff 2018;y Sahín, Deniz y Topçu 2016). Y dado que en el ámbito de las investigaciones ciencias de la educación cobra importancia enfocar a las creencias, concepciones, subjetividades y emociones tanto del profesorado como de Dado que la tendencia, según se aprecia en el ámbito mundial, es implementar los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje (EVA), elearning y en fin el uso de dispositivos digitales puestos al servicio de la ECN (Camacho, 2010).…”

Public Participation as a Tool for Preserving the Environment

“…The children turn into more aware in protecting the environment in which they live. Pass on the knowledge and warn the people around from the environmental damage and waste of energy-this serves the purpose of the course-training "green ambassadors" from a young age, which will minimize the damage and increase the global consciousness [15,16].…”
