Interaction between Physicians and Preschool Teachers to Develop Standards of Science
Abstract
In this paper, we focused in two problems about teach science in basic level in Mexico. These are lack of a methodological processes that allow to basic level teacher an approach about work lines that are proposed there; on the other hand, the problems that have teachers on this level to expressed correctly the concepts. Like a study case we analyzed preschool level, because is the first time when a child has contact with this knowledge area in a formal way, for this we used particularly themes of physics. In this paper we show the results of the interaction between physical and preschool teachers, through micro-workshop, seeking to generate a clear idea of the phenomena studied. Various instruments and evaluation indicators were used. In the case of the knowledge acquired by the preschool teachers, a rubric was designed based on the levels of contemplative, reproductive and productive achievement of the products of the evidence portfolio generated in the workshop. In the case of the opinion of the preschool teachers about the usefulness of the workshop for their teaching, a rubric was designed based on the levels of satisfaction in items of the workshop such as the contents, knowledge and strategies used. Through clinical interviews, the opinion about the interaction between both groups was studied. All the instruments used are of a qualitative nature given the profile of the research. It was observed that as a result of the workshop the preschool teachers reached a formal language for the different physics subjects that were developed, formulated hypotheses for the explanation of the phenomena studied and used analogies of everyday life, reaching more reproductive learning levels beyond the productive level or just contemplative. Finally, the interaction reached was expressed as positive between both groups, in a way that enriched the mutual professional work, shows of it is the interest of both groups to continue and deepen with these activities.
