Abstract
PERGOLA, Martín; CHADWICK, Geraldine and BONAN, Leonor. In search of ways to teach natural sciences in intercultural contexts: building possible paths and foundations. Ciência educ. [online]. 2021, vol.27, e21035. Epub Aug 12, 2021. ISSN 1980-850X. https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320210035.
In this paper, we present a meta-scientific reflection on the implementation of intercultural approaches with aboriginal peoples, in particular from the Argentine Northwest. To this end, we propose three bases or foundations that take into account epistemology, sociology, and the teaching of natural sciences, from which to analyze and in which to ground intercultural approaches in the teaching of sciences. Based on a meta-scientific reflection, the main goal is to establish a theoretical basis to value the importance and the need to incorporate an intercultural education approach for the population as a whole, which contributes to favor the learning of scientific competencies and content.
