ALONQUEO BOUDON, Paula; LLANCAQUEO HENRIQUEZ, Alfonso; FLORES MILLANAO, Carolina y LIENLAF TRAGOLAF, Aylin. Planet earth models about students in rural schools from Chile. liber. [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.2, pp.289-298. ISSN 1729-4827.
The aim of this study was to identify planet Earth models in mapuches and non mapuches students of rural origin. The participants were 40 students divided into two age groups who responded to a cognitive task which explores the representation of the shape of the planet Earth. Based on the degree of agreement with the scientific representation, each participant was categorized into one of four models of planet Earth. Model 4, consistent with the scientific knowledge was not observed because the majority of the participants were concentrated in Model 3. In non mapuche children, it is observed that the model of the planet Earth is adjusted to the scientific meaning in accordance with the increase of school knowledge. On the other hand, this trend is not observed in mapuche children. The role of culture and teaching is discussed in the learning of planet scientific model.
