This course is aimed at primary school teachers who want to improve both their knowledge of science didactics and the key ideas of biology present in the primary curriculum. The course will focus on the development of the big ideas of biology, related to living beings, ecosystems, and the functioning of the human body, and on experimentation with resources and methodological strategies that promote their progression.

Children's scientific education is one of the pillars of the current educational system. Teaching to think scientifically involves being able to design learning situations that favor the development of scientific practices (inquiry, modeling, and argumentation). Doing so, however, requires mastering, among other aspects, the scientific content and its didactics.

In this course, an update is sought from the perspective of didactics to the biology content that needs to be worked on in the curriculum, focusing on living beings, ecosystems and their evolution, and the human body.

This training is based on providing elements to help teachers make use of the big ideas of biology to design contextualized learning situations that favor the development of scientific competence. It will also allow the identification of how these contents relate to specific key ideas that evolve throughout schooling, making their progression evident.

The course is designed intensively over 4 mornings in July, which is the month dedicated to teacher training.
