THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SEQUENCES OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE TEACHING OF NATURAL SCIENCES IN PLURIGRADE. THE EXPERIENCE DEVELOPED IN TWO RURAL SCHOOLS IN SANTA FE

Abstract

This work describes the procedure followed in the construction of sequences of activities for the teaching of Natural Sciences in rural schools that adopt the plurigrade as a pedagogical-didactic device. They were developed within the framework of a research work, developed during 2016, in two rural Santa Fe schools with plurigrade. The research, funded by the National Institute for Teacher Training (INFD), linked two Institutes of Higher Education in Santa Fe (one from Reconquista and the other from Esperanza). The work contemplated the design, implementation and evaluation of sequences of activities for the teaching of Natural Sciences combining two methodological proposals that enjoy consensus in the field of Science Didactics: modeling and inquiry. The results show the potential of these didactic devices to generate learning in the context of classroom diversity that characterizes rural schools.
