Transforming education for a sustainable future
In the specific context of geography and science teachers' training, socio-environmental problems, including climate change, highlight the need for professional development that facilitates the integration of social and environmental dimensions in favor of sustainability. This perspective seeks to promote wellbeing for all within planetary limits. This article addresses key questions: how has teacher education been structured to address climate c…
Advancing rural science education in Chile through local rural knowledge
This study addresses the advancement of rural science education (RSE) through a focus on water education in Chile’s Los Lagos Region. Employing a Design-Based Research approach with four rural communities, the research first aimed to characterize local rural knowledge (LRK) and identify educational needs regarding local water sources, quality, and infrastructure challenges. Second, it focused on the collaborative co-design with teachers of a cont…
Continuing professional development in teachers
This research on Continuing Professional Development (CPD) was conducted through a meticulous and structured systematic review. Initially, four academic databases were explored, merging key terms in both Spanish and English, identifying 1,942 articles. After a preliminary screening, publications were discarded for various reasons: duplication, access restrictions, irrelevance, or exceeding the 10-year age limit, reducing the corpus to 722 article…
Climate change perceptions among Andean schoolchildren in Chile
This study explores the social representations of climate change among schoolchildren in an Andean community in northern Chile, using an ethnographic approach. Through drawings and explanations, students expressed their perspectives, revealing actionable representations that highlight their agency within the natural environment. Contrary to traditional views in scientific education, the findings underscore the importance of integrating local Ande…
Use and meaning teachers assign to the integration of the Mica 3.0 kit for teaching climate change
Introduction Teaching climate change requires teachers to have the educational resources that will facilitate teaching this content and visualize how a global problem has various local implications. In Chile, the capacity for environmental data collection and use at the school level remains limited, hindering evidence-based and context-aware climate education. Methods This study follows a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach and comprises three m…
Teacher continuous professional development in climate change education
This paper explores teacher continuous professional development (CPD) in climate change education, focusing on two programs implemented in Chile. Combining a literature review with an analysis of materials produced by teachers, the study highlights the innovative approach of examining CPD programs through teacher-created materials. Teachers in both programs designed educational activities on climate change, forming the research core. Using the “I…
Exploring perceptions of extreme environments and extremophiles in Chilean schoolchildren
Chile is unique because of its diverse extreme environment, ranging from arid climates in the north to polar climates in Patagonia. Microorganisms that live in these environments are called extremophiles, and these habitats experience intense ecosystem changes owing to climate warming. Most studies of extremophiles have focused on their biotechnological potential; however, no study has examined how students describe extremophiles. Therefore, we w…
Use of augmented reality in chromatography learning
Developing chemistry students' capability to use representations to explain phenomena is a challenging task for educators. To overcome chemistry students' learning difficulties, strategies that favor the development of visualization capabilities have been identified as productive. We are particularly interested in exploring the use of augmented reality in chemistry education to foster the development of those capabilities in undergraduate student…
Snailed It! Inside the Shell
Snails have occupied an important role in the ideology and religion of the ancient American peoples, who considered them to be magical and used them in ritual ceremonies as ornaments, musical instruments, and architectural elements. Today, they are a valuable study system for understanding biodiversity and evolution due to their remarkable ecological and morphological diversity. Given that many endemic snails are of conservation concern, and that…
