Abstract

DE LA CRUZ GONZALEZ, Lizeth Paola  and  PEREZ VASQUEZ, Nabi Del Socorro. The school knowledge in biodiversity in terms of re-signifying its teaching. Prax. Saber [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.27, e206.  Epub Feb 20, 2021. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v12.n28.2021.11167.

A synthesis of the results of a formative assessment conducted with students of junior high school is presented. The objective was to investigate their conceptions about biodiversity in order to reveal the formative needs that require strengthening in the teaching of this field of knowledge. A qualitative methodology was used and, from the hermeneutic paradigm, techniques such as semi-structured interviews, analysis of graphic organizers and observation guide were employed. The results prove that most students have basic competence in the contents related to biodiversity, restricted to the animal and vegetal organisms. This reflects a low level in establishing connections, since concepts such as genetic and ecosystemic diversity, adaptation, evolution, among others, are dismissed. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen in the students the complex relational knowledge through didactic strategies to resignify the teaching-learning process.

Keywords : biodiversity; concepts; knowledge; teaching.
