Mental models of the earth’s internal structure among primary, middle and secondary school students in Chile
Mental models are internal representations or conceptions that students construct as they make sense of their everyday interactions with the natural world. The layers of the Earth are topics covered in the Chilean national curriculum for primary and middle school education. Studies have shown that primary and middle school students hold many preconceptions about earthquakes, mountain formation, and volcanoes. In this study, we analyzed 785 drawin…
A map of collective pedagogical content knowledge as a basis for studying the development of biology teachers’ personal PCK of evolution
In the past few decades, a large body of research has been conducted on pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), but further empirical and theoretical studies are needed to enhance our understanding of PCK development. This study aimed to describe the development of PCK of evolution in a group of biology teachers using a modified version of the refined consensus model (Mixed Model), including the five components of PCK from the model elaborated by Ma…
Willingness to mitigate climate change
The recent IPCC report (IPCC, 2023) highlighted the need to increase the perception of risk and prompt climate action through education. The question is what contribution science and environmental education can make—if any—to this challenge. Psychological research has suggested that knowledge (topical and epistemological) and beliefs about self-efficacy are relevant starting points, but the evidence is scarce and inconsistent. We conducted a tran…
Assessing scientific reasoning competencies of pre-service science teachers
Scientific reasoning competencies are relevant science competencies and therefore the development of assessment instruments for scientific reasoning competencies has become an integral part of science education research. However, some authors have questioned the validity of the instruments available so far, since their psychometric quality has not been evaluated satisfactorily. In this study, an established German multiple-choice instrument to as…

Gestión del Tiempo e Interacción del Profesor-Alumno en la Sala de Clases de Establecimientos de Jornada Escolar Completa en Chile
Uno de los componentes de La Reforma Educativa que se lleva a cabo en Chile es la Jornada Escolar Completa (JEC). Desde 1997, y en forma gradual, se han incorporado a este régimen 6.718 escuelas y liceos (80% de universo) y se espera que en el año 2010 todos los establecimientos educacionales tengan una jornada mínima de 38 horas en la Educación Básica y 42 horas en la Educación Media (MINEDUC,2004) La ampliación de la jornada escolar surge como …
Uso del tiempo e interacciones en la sala de clases
Este artículo analiza las interacciones en la sala de clases y el uso del tiempo de profesores de segundo ciclo de Enseñanza Básica y que han participado en el Sistema de Evaluación de Desempeño Profesional que ejecuta el Ministerio de Educación de Chile. Se demuestra que las clases son altamente estructuradas y se observa un claro patrón de interacción y uso del tiempo en las clases video grabadas de los profesores considerados. El discurso de l…
