The teaching of Biology and critical thinking: the importance of metacognition

Four perspectives to take into consideration for the teaching of Natural Sciences for critical thinking are defined in this paper: sophisticated meta-scientific; theoretical model and socio – critical; plural theoretical and non exceptionalist of the humankind; direct approach to relevant cases and...

After a brief comment on the first three perspectives, the fourth is deeply analyzed, highlighting the importance of metacognition to foster critical thinking from the teaching of Sciences. These general principles are illustrated with cases related to the teaching of Biology and some specific aspects of the teaching of this science in relation with critical thinking are discussed. En este trabajo se definen cuatro criterios a tener en cuenta para una enseñanza de las Ciencias Naturales para el pensamiento crítico: perspectiva metacientífica sofisticada, modelo-teórica y socio-crítica; perspectiva teórica plural y perspectiva no excepcionalista de lo humano; abordaje directo de casos relevantes y reflexión metacognitiva sobre sesgos cognitivos y obstáculos epistemológicos. Tras comentar brevemente los tres primeros criterios se analiza en profundidad el cuarto, centrado en la importancia de la metacognición para fomentar el pensamiento crítico desde la enseñanza de las Ciencias. Estos principios generales se ilustran con casos relacionados con la enseñanza de la Biología y se discuten algunos aspectos específicos de la enseñanza de esta ciencia en relación con el pensamiento crítico.
