Los aportes de Lamarck en la biología y su enseñanza: Una aproximación a través de la revisión documental

Abstract

Some authors point out that Lamarck's work is undoubtedly one of the worst known in the field of the epistemology of biological knowledge, whose main criticism lies in idealistic aspects of it, nevertheless, knowing of its significant contribution to biological thought, this study is directed to the search of researches that develop expositions about Lamarck, hoping like this, highlighting their contributions in biology and their teaching. In this way, the purpose of this writing is to serve as a historical construction on which those who are interested in these topics, find an academic tool that will serve to contrast the knowledge traditionally taught in schools with respect to Lamarck and, that discussed by researchers from different approaches at present. This investigation based on the consultation made in databases with free access documents, offered by the Index-K system of the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, made possible the compilation of 33 articles published during the period 2000-2017, categorizing the ideas that these contained in 3 fields of knowledge, based on the paradigm of qualitative research.
