This course is aimed at primary school teachers who want to improve both their knowledge of science didactics and the key ideas of chemistry present in the primary curriculum. The course will focus on the development of the big ideas of chemistry related to the characterization of the properties of matter and its transformations, as well as the promotion of these ideas through experimentation and other methodological resources and strategies that promote their progression.
Scientific education for children 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). However, this requires mastering, among other aspects, scientific content and its didactics.
In this course, an update is intended from the perspective of didactics in relation to the chemistry content that needs to be worked on in the curriculum, focusing on the characterization of the matter around us and the transformations it undergoes.
This training is based on providing elements to help teachers use the big ideas of chemistry to design contextualized learning situations that favor 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 intensively over 4 mornings in July, which is the month dedicated to teacher training.
This micro-credential could be part of a future specialization and postgraduate diploma if taken together with the other 3 offered in relation to Biology, Physics, and Geology.
- Practical experiences and teaching strategies to promote the evolution of ideas of the matter model at the macroscopic level and from observation.
- Characteristics of matter from simple physical properties. Main related difficulties of pupils throughout primary education.
- Practical experiences and teaching strategies to promote the evolution of ideas of the matter model at the macroscopic level and through manipulation.
- Physical changes and expansion of substances and materials. Main related difficulties of pupils throughout primary education.
- Practical experiences and teaching strategies to promote the evolution of ideas of the matter model at the macroscopic and microscopic level to explain physical changes.
- Characteristics of chemical changes. Main related difficulties of pupils throughout primary education.
- Practical experiences and didactic strategies to promote the evolution of the ideas of the matter model at macroscopic and microscopic level to explain chemical changes.
