Guía didáctica docente para actividades experimentales con enfoque ambiental en el área de ciencias naturales para cuarto año de educación general básica

Abstract

The purpose of this proposal for a teaching guide is to present experimental activities that promote and contribute to teachers working with students to develop a scientific attitude from an environmental approach. The problem that motivates this research work was identified from the observation of pre-professional practices in an educational institution, in which the limitation of the implementation of experimental activities necessary in the area of Natural Sciences was evidenced. It is proposed to encourage an active teaching-learning process, with the children as the main protagonists in the construction of knowledge. The experimental activities presented in the Didactic Guide are elaborated considering the acquisitions and skills that children in the fourth year of Primary School should develop in order to support a scientific perspective. The Guide proposes relevant activities for the area of Natural Sciences that encourage respect for the environment, living beings, encourage citizenship awareness and the valuation of natural resources. Each activity has been organised considering: theme, objective, theoretical presentation, didactic sequence, resources. The proposal is expected to improve the educational action of teachers, considering the importance of the area of Natural Sciences for the integral formation of the child.
