Investigación y formación de profesores de ciencias: Diálogos de perspectivas latinoamericanas

Abstract

We have titled this book "Research and Training of Science Teachers: Dialogues of Latin American Perspectives," the second of its kind in this Emphasis collection. With it, we advance the realization of an essential aspect of the mission of our Doctorate, namely the training of researchers […] with the capacity to produce new knowledge and influence the appropriation and critical transformation of culture, within a framework of flexibility, national and international cooperation, and South-South dialogue, with the necessary openings to interact with other trends and paradigms. Thus, this dialogue has several facets and forms, such as: reviews and discussions of positions based on Latin American approaches; collaborative work on the development of doctoral thesis research; and reflections that strengthen the lines of research of the Emphasis in Science Education, created by its research groups, namely: DIDAQUIM, IREC, Research in Science Didactics, GREECE, and INTERCITEC. But it is also about goals, collaborations, dialogues, and projects with specific stakeholders, some of whom are authors of this book. Thus, this book is composed of eleven chapters, which focus on debate and reflection on the training of science teachers.
