Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Throughout the history of the field of science education researchers have focused their interests of inquiry, in responding to the different problems related to learning and teaching the science curriculum. For this, they designed and developed research, which has been informed and illuminated by the theoretical frameworks from cognitive and sociocultural psychology. This situation produced in this field the research traditions of conceptual change and sociocultural perspective. These have delineated the problems, the theoretical frameworks and the research methodologies that helped researchers to develop and consolidate the field of science education as a scientific discipline. Therefore, this document had as its central purpose the description succinctly of the epistemic trajectories covered by the members of this community of practice, so that it can be used by new researchers in their process of contextualization.
