Diseño, implementación y evaluación de una unidad didáctica para la enseñanza de modelos de membrana celular en la formación biológica del profesorado, con aportes de ideas metacientíficas provenientes del eje naturaleza de la ciencia

Abstract

In the context of the university Biology teaching degree, we maintain that it is necessary that training spaces in didactic models begin to permeate ideas and work strategies towards disciplinary training spaces in biology; The integration of these areas will make more stable and meaningful the learnings linked to the scientific disciplinary models of biology as well as to the didactic models constructed by the students. The modeling and treatment of metascientific ideas are guidelines from current theoretical perspectives in the field of natural science teaching, and this thesis enhaces the value of such guidelines within a disciplinary training space. Within this framework, the didactic research developed was contextualized in the subject of Cell Biology, and had the general objective of interpreting processes of modeling of cell membrane biological phenomena and meta-scientific ideas constructed by students. The research had a qualitative approach and, oriented from the perspective of the design studies, involved the elaboration, implementation and evaluation of a didactic unit. The setting in which the empirical corpus was constructed was the natural environment of the classes of the research teacher. It was verified that students learned, involved in what we call "scientific school activity", cell membrane contents through modeling processes and also meta-scientific content of the nature axis of science and that could apply them to new situations.
