Perspectivas epistemológicas, culturales y didácticas en educación en ciencias y la formación de profesores: avances de investigación

Abstract

This book gathers advances of several doctoral theses of the Emphasis in Science Education of the Universidad Distrital and Universidad del Valle, of the Interinstitutional Doctorate in Education, DIE. The authors are university professors: María Cristina Cifuentes, Rosa Inés Pedreros and Juan Carlos Castillo are professors at Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, and Jaime Duvan Reyes and Andrés Arturo Venegas are professors at Universidad Distrital. The problems addressed in the first two chapters are essentially aimed at deepening the teacher's knowledge and the implications in their training, and in the last three chapters, the notions of nature and the concepts of equilibrium and time, important for science education, are discussed and analyzed from an epistemological and anthropological point of view to advance in the discussion and study of the relationship between cultural diversity and science education.
