Análisis del determinismo en una tarea de genética sobre una enfermedad animal

Autors/ores

Resum

Este artículo presenta un estudio de caso de corte cualitativo con alumnado de secundaria en el desempeño de una tarea de uso de datos y evaluación de un modelo determinista de expresión de los genes para explicar una enfermedad animal. Las preguntas de investigación son: 1) ¿cómo son las posiciones del alumnado en el discurso escrito a la hora de aplicar y evaluar un modelo de expresión de los genes para explicar una enfermedad animal? y 2) ¿cuál es la capacidad crítica mostrada en el discurso oral del alumnado para evaluar un modelo determinista en este contexto? Los resultados muestran dificultades para evaluar críticamente un modelo determinista y cambios en las posiciones del alumnado respecto al determinismo a lo largo de la tarea. El desarrollo de explicaciones deterministas se relaciona con la capacidad crítica en este estudio, lo que plantea futuras líneas de investigación.
