Laboratorio didáctico de ciencias: caminos de investigación

Resumen

In this work, we attempt to show a panoramic view about the most important topics discussed in the broad bibliography related to didactic laboratory since the last three decades. Through a study of about fifty papers, especially those published in specialized magazines in Science Teaching, we found a clear tendency in which laboratory is broached by a view that emphasizes methodological aspects. At the same time, we observe that - since the beginning of the ninetys - another research approximation appears in a more explicit way. This approximation tries to produce a more specific knowledge about the specific work at didactic laboratory, from the point of view of the student's learning process.
