ROA ACOSTA, Robinson; GONZALEZ-GALLI, Leonardo  and  VALBUENA USSA, Edgar Orlay. Didactic Implications of the Concept of Biotechnology. educ.educ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.3, pp.397-421. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2019.22.3.4.

This article addresses the nature, definitions, circumstances and meanings of the concept of biotechnology, and its implications for teaching. Approaching the emergence of this concept points to the manifold meanings and disciplines it encompasses, as well as to its complexity. Conclusions highlight the importance of researching into it within science didactics and the relevance of including philosophical, historical and epistemological aspects of biotechnology in the initial training of natural science teachers.

Keywords : Biotechnology; science of science; natural science didactics; epistemology; teachers education; didactic research.
