Abordaje interdisciplinar para la enseñanza de las ciencias y la actualización de profesores

In this work, a review of an interdisciplinary approach is proposed in order to foster the construction of the educational, pedagogical and scientific knowledge, as an alternative to examine the educative practices and natural science teaching. Some contributions from literature were reviewed paying attention to STS and STEM approaches and their impact on socio-scientific issues. In order to show the versatility of these approaches to think about a varied way of teaching, a simple practical activity, which was carried out in different teaching situations, is presented and discussed.  The connections among those examples, the science education research and teachers’ education, are exposed.
