Lehen Hezkuntzan argumentazio zientifikorako gaitasuna sustatzen sendagaien ezagupenaren bidez

Zusammenfassung

Nowadays, according to different authors, there are difficulties to develop scientific competence in Elementary Education. To improve this situation, we must give students the opportunity to immerse themselves in scientific culture and the opportunity to develop the ability to argue. We have designed a sequence of activities based on a socioscientific issue about the effectiveness and side effects of several therapies. 26 third grade students have taken part. The results show that the students have given justified arguments, thereby paving the way towards achieving scientific competence. At the same time, they have realized about the relationship between effectiveness and side effects of medicines.
