Implementación de la Metodología Tini en el área de Ciencias Naturales en el 3er año de EGB de la Unidad Educativa 16 de Abril

Abstract

At present, learning the Natural Sciences allows the development of scientific thinking from an early age, in addition to fostering respect and care for the nature and the surrounding environment. This project was governed under the "innovation" research line, because the TINI methodology was implemented in the Natural Sciences area of the third year of basic general education in the “Educational Unit 16 de Abril”. A qualitative approach was used for data analysis with the action research method, through the application of an interview to the teacher, a survey of students and field journals. These instruments led to a triangulation of facts among the 3 actors of the investigation, resulting in the lack of application of innovative methodologies in the area of Natural Sciences. The implementation of the proposal was assessed through a contrast between a post-poll and a presurvey conducted in the diagnostic phase. The results yielded gave a higher range of acceptance of the natural sciences subject by students, thanks to the use of the TINI methodology. In conclusion, this research shows that the use of the TINI methodology for Natural Sciences teaching allows learning to be carried, from the traditional to the analytical and practical in students, as well as generating values of awareness about care and respect for nature.
