Abstract

The study aims at the professional development of teachers by looking at the process of how they plan their teaching acts. For that, didactic units designed and elaborated by teachers of Experimental Sciences in Secondary Education are analyzed. Once the information has been tabulated, the units of analysis have been chosen according to three scopes: the types of activities, the level of difficulty and their relevance for the students’ learning. A descriptive study of the data obtained is offered and, finally, the results are contrasted in terms of the scientific topic of the didactic unit and the expertise of the teachers.
