GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING SCIENCE TEACHING BASED ON THE THEORY OF CONCEPTUAL PROFILES

ABSTRACT:

Conceptual profile is a model that characterizes the heterogeneity of conceptual thinking in the meaning of scientific concepts, assuming the coexistence, in individuals, of two or more ways of meaning the same concept, when it is mobilized in different contexts. This research started from the following question: which guidelines can support the planning of science teaching based on the theory of conceptual profiles? In order to do so, we used a theoretical-bibliographic study, in which we analyzed a set of theses and dissertations that developed science teaching interventions supported by the theory. This analysis allowed us to enunciate theoretical-methodological guidelines for the planning of teaching supported by the theory of conceptual profiles.
