Abstract
Se presenta una investigación educativa en la que se trabaja
el concepto de fósil con estudiantes del segundo ciclo de Educación
Primaria en un centro escolar granadino. Para ello se ha diseñado
e implementado una intervención en el aula, basada en la argumentación. Se muestran, analizan e interpretan aquí los resultados
descriptivos del cuestionario previo a la intervención, y del estudio
evaluativo al comparar los resultados tras la misma. Se concluye que
los estudiantes encuestados comparten ideas previas con otros estudiantes españoles de su nivel educativo. Por otra parte, se considera
que la intervención ha sido efectiva en varios aspectos en relación
con la adquisición del concepto de fósil, aunque la obtención de resultados significativos requiere de mejoras futuras de la investigación y de una ampliación de la muestra
This article deals with an educational research in which the concept of fossil is developed with second cycle students of Primary Education at a school in Granada (Spain). An argumentation-based teaching unit has been designed and implemented in the classroom. The descriptive results of the pretest questionnaire and the evaluative study of the comparison between pre- and post-test answers are hereby presented, analysed and interpreted. In conclusion, the students share the same misconceptions as others in Spain when comparing with the literature. Moreover, the intervention has been somewhat effective in regards with the acquisition of the different aspects involved in the concept of fossil, although future improvements of the research design and sample size are required in order to obtain significative results
