Una propuesta didáctica basada en la investigación para el uso de analogías en la enseñanza de las ciencias

Abstract

In this paper, an analysis about the advantages and difficulties of the analogies, as a didactic resource in science education, is accomplished. According to the results of the investigation developed in this field during the last years, some criteria to take into account with the purpose of improving their use in the classroom, are also provided. All these contributions are accompanied by concrete examples that help to illustrate the considerations and the didactic implications for educational practice.
