La divulgación científica en la Escuela Media y el Profesorado de Río Negro: un libro de Ciencias de la Tierra como recurso didáctico

Abstract

This professional thesis presents a book of science communication, with which it is intended to contribute to the science communication and the teaching-learning process of significant knowledge in the area of Earth Sciences, especially geology and paleontology. The book is oriented to students and teachers of the last years of the secondary schools of the Rio Negro province, particularly the Escuela Secundaria Rio Negro (ESRN), implemented between 2017 and 2018, and the professorship in Biology. It was written in a fictional narrative style and addresses different geoscientific themes included in the curriculum design of the ESRN, with a marked local and regional character. In addition to the book itself, a section is presented that includes a part with guidance for the elaboration of a Didactic Unit for the teaching of a scientific model, which includes the reading of one of the chapters of the book. There is also a reflection on narratives and fiction as resources for the divulgation and teaching-learning of sciences.
