Abstract

This research shows a proposal to teach astronomy –framed in the socio-constructivism which has been implemented in 17-year-old students in secondary, carrying out a design of pre-test and post-test type. The data analysis has revealed it as a very effective treatment, showing a significant improvement in almost all items tested. It has also been shown that despite similar astronomical knowledge from, the students of the scientific-technological option have obtained a significantly greater improvement than those of the humanities and social-sciences option.
