EDUC-4503 Inquiry in the classroom+C701

The course is intended to involve students in practices and discussions about some educational strategies applied in science teaching, focusing on Science Teaching based in inquiry (ECBI in Spanish). The course analyzes some current pedagogical approaches related to science didactics, such as constructivism, handling of previous ideas, instruction models for inquiry, reflexive practice, and theory of conceptual change, among others. Each student will conduct a critical analysis of his/her practices and apply the strategies studied during the course. As final evaluation, the students will design and validate an educational module of science teaching based on the inquiry of a biological, physical or chemical subject.
