Conocimientos que interaccionan en la enseñanza de las ciencias

Abstract

In Science Teaching different types of knowledge interact: the everyday knowledge of science of the student and the more academic knowledge of the teacher. Given this situation, any undertaking to teach science will show two basic tendencies, depending on whether the similarities or the differences between the two above-mentioned types of knowledge are emphasised. This paper is a further contribution to those that investigate this difference between the knowledge of teacher and student when looking at teaching proposals based on the analogy of student and scientist.
