Diseño curricular como apoyo a la implementación de los Proyectos de Investigación Formativa Interdisciplinar (PIFI) en los niveles de organización celular, organísmico y ecosistémico, para el proyecto curricular de Licenciatura en Biología Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas

Abstract

Curricula in teacher training are not static, but are adapted to the needs of the context and are regulated through public policies, in this sense and in response to 2041 MEN Resolution of 2016, the Bachelor degree in Biology of Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas proposes a curricular restructuring since 2018, from which the Interdisciplinar Formative Research Projects (PIFI) are derived as a way to integrate the organized curriculum into three levels, cellular, organismic and ecosystemic, corresponding to the third, fifth and seventh semester of training. Each project revolves around a thematic-problematic core question, which aims at students developing research developments in their approach, linking theoretical and practical elements obtained in academic spaces prior to PIFI. From each core question, guiding questions have been derived for each of the academic spaces in order to facilitate the participation of all teachers in the PIFI dynamics. In addition, a methodological route has been proposed for each project based on a teaching-by-research approach in three fundamental stages; Evaluation instruments were designed as rubrics to follow up on the students' process and the implementation of the project. Likewise, the profiles of teachers and students linked to PIFI are described at a general level. Finally, a didactic support material (primer) was prepared for the teachers of the PCLB to support the implementation of the projects by the teachers.
