This course is aimed at primary school teachers who want to improve both their knowledge of science didactics and the key ideas of geology in the primary school curriculum. The course will focus on the development of the big ideas of geology, related to living beings, ecosystems and the functioning of the human body, and experimentation with resources and methodological strategies that promote their progression.
The scientific education of children is one of the pillars of today's education system. Teaching to think scientifically implies being able to design learning situations that favour the development of scientific practices (inquiry, modelling and argumentation). Doing so, however, requires mastering, among other aspects, the mastery of scientific content and its didactics.
In this course, the aim is to provide an update from a didactic perspective on the geology content to be worked on in the curriculum, focusing on the internal dynamics of the Earth, the rock cycle and the water cycle.
This training is based on providing elements to help teachers make use of the big ideas of geology to design contextualised learning situations that favour the development of scientific competence. It will also allow the identification of how these contents are related to specific key ideas that evolve throughout schooling, making their progression evident.
The course is designed in an intensive way during 4 mornings in July, which is the month for teacher training.
