La experimentación como metodología para la enseñanza-aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales en el tercer año de educación general básica

Abstract

The present proposal of innovation is in the field of the didactics of Natural Sciences, its purpose is to improve the teaching-learning process of the area in the third year of basic education, implementing the use of the methodology of experimentation. This methodology consists of seven steps, allows students to observe, hypothesize, experiment, compare, abstract, generalize, verify and ask about the phenomena under study, not considering the Natural Sciences as boring or purely theoretical, for this, a didactic guide has been designed that complements the work of the teacher in the teaching-learning process. For the elaboration of the guide, a diagnosis was started, in which the following instruments are used: direct observation, interview to the teaching, survey to the students and review of the documentation of study plans. These instruments allowed knowing the methodology used in the Natural Sciences classes and the development of the children with respect to it. The results showed that the teaching-learning process was more traditional. Based on what was explained in the previous paragraph, the didactic guide proposes planning of different topics, using experimentation as a methodology to improve the expectations with the performance criterion raised in the 2016 Curriculum to more than scientific competences
