Un modelo pragmático de la comunicación escrita en el aula de ciencias

Abstract

In this paper, we present an approximated pragmatic model of written communication in the science classroom. It is mainly based on Umberto Eco’s ideas on text interpretation. We have called this model Interpretative Approximation (ApIn, for the Spanish, aproximación interpretativa).The ApIn model brings about a re-interpretation of many didactic features and, in particular, of didactic assessment. Besides, this pragmatic approach allows a fresh view on the problem of the relationship between scientific and ordinary language in the framework of science teaching.
