La enseñanza de ciencias basada en la elaboración de modelos

Se discute una propuesta para planificar la ensenanza de ciencias y la puesta en practica de actividades, orientada a disminuir el enfasis que se ha venido haciendo en la transmision de conocimientos. En nuestra propuesta se trata de poner a los alumnos en disposicion de comprender los modelos cientificos (asi como la naturaleza de la ciencia y sus formas de pensamiento asociados) y a la vez ser capaces de manejar con sentido critico situaciones relacionadas con las ciencias. Esta propuesta surge de la constatacion de que para elaborar estrategias de ensenanza se necesita tomar en consideracion a la vez aspectos de diferente naturaleza, asi como un modelo cognitivo de la ciencia que se fundamente en la construccion de modelos (Izquierdo y Aduriz-Bravo, 2003).
