The profile of the «LOGSE» reform and the profile of its use: The rationale of physics and chemistry curricula in secondary education

Abstract

This paper is a part of a wider research project whose main purpose is to try and account for the differences between the guidelines suggested in the LOGSE curriculum for the teaching of science and their implementation in the secondary school classroom. To that end, we have analysed the syllabuses of a number of schools of our region. More specifically, we have focused our attention on the rationale explicitly mentioned by the teachers in those documents.
