Constructivismo, Concepciones alternativas, Cambio conceptual, Enseñanza de las ciencias, Formación del profesoradoResumen
En este artículo se analiza el proceso de adquisición del conocimiento científico desde la perspectiva de sus orígenes en las concepciones de los novatos. Se describe la naturaleza y características de las concepciones alternativas, la consideración de las mismas desde distintos enfoques constructivistas y su repercusión en el aprendizaje de las ciencias. Se examinan, también, las semejanzas y diferencias culturales en la construcción de estas nociones. Finalmente, se explica, desde un enfoque constructivista, la acción de ciertos factores importantes en el proceso de aprendizaje de las ciencias que tienen lugar en contextos educativos.
