Guía de estrategias activas de enseñanza y aprendizaje para el área de ciencias naturales de sexto año de educación general básica

Abstract

The purpose of this guide is to provide teachers with a proposal of active teaching and learning strategies for the area of Natural Sciences, in order to promote the participation of students through exploration and experimentation in a practical and contextualized manner, thus fostering their interest in the knowledge of science and the solution of everyday problems. The problem that motivated the realization of this work were the observations in the space of pre-professional practices, where weaknesses were evidenced in the development of the teaching and learning process in the area of Natural Sciences, focusing on the teacher's exposition and without any experiential or experimental application. Hence the need to structure a guide that can highlight the benefits of using active strategies in the classroom, as well as the encouragement of participation, the development of critical thinking skills and meaningful learning. The guide includes a description of each strategy and its theoretical basis, including strategies such as PBL, cooperative learning, guided discussion, role-playing, use of graphic organizers, experiments, reciprocal teaching, among others. The guide is presented as a practical and accessible tool for GBS teachers, with established curriculum topics, providing guidance and resources to enrich their teaching practices and promote an interactive and stimulating learning environment. It is expected that the implementation of these strategies will activate the role of the student as the interpreter of his or her own learning, thus improving academic results and fostering his or her integral development.
