Hacia una evolución de la concepción de analogía: aplicación al análisis de libros de texto

Abstract

Analogies have contributed to the construction and development of scientific knowledge and to its ulterior presentation, because they are essential in the scientific teaching-learning process. In this work the positions about the idea of analogy are analysed and a suggestion about conception and structure analogy is proposed. This fact has permitted the identification and research of the analogy distribution in secondary education textbooks. All this in relation with the following variables: publication date, education level, subjet and school year.
