DAZA-PEREZ, Erika Patricia  y  EL-HANI, Charbel Niño. THERMOREGULATION IN TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATES AS EXPLICIT INTEGRATING CONCEPT IN THE NATURAL SCIENCES TEACHING. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2019, vol.21, e12026.  Epub 08-Nov-2019. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172019210120.

The article presents an analysis of the treatment of thermoregulation in the literature on natural sciences teaching, in some textbooks from Colombia and in official documents that present guidelines for science teaching and assessment in this country. This analysis shows that thermoregulation is not taken as a central issue in biology teaching and is cited without connection with other topics. We discuss some grounds for an integrated and explicit teaching on thermoregulation, in connection with other central topics in biology teaching, and propose a diagram that constitutes a didactics model to address thermoregulation in the classroom, as a homeostatic mechanism.

Palabras clave : Thermoregulation; Homeostasis; Biological mechanisms.
