This article presents methodological reflections as a product of the work experience in initial training processes of graduates in Biology from the National Pedagogical University, guided by the Teaching of Biology and Cultural Diversity research group; specifically in the development of comprehensive pedagogical practice and undergraduate work, in the Yanakuna indigenous reservation of Río Blanco (Sotará-Cauca) and in the educational institution Inga Yachaikury (Yurayaco-Caquetá), Colombia. The conceptual and methodological reference starts from the epistemic plurality and the recognition of otherness, as an ethical practice that constitutes the teaching of biology and life. In line with the above, it constitutes a bet to explore and propose questions that contribute to the field of knowledge of biology teaching in Colombia. The article concludes that the methodological proposals developed from pedagogical practice and undergraduate work, make it possible to problematize knowledge about biology and, by this means, to specify relationships with life as an opportunity for its teaching and care. These investigative exercises become an opportunity to reflect on the research methodologies that contribute to the debate on how to teach biology and life, from the perspective of diversity.

Keywords : teaching of biology; intercultural methodologies; care of life; epistemic plurality; cultural diversity.
