Abstract

The cine forum as didactic strategy for the acquisition of “Evolution” as a concept in ninth grade students from Agustiniano Suba school, this proposes a didactic alternative for teaching science, in this case, for improving the concept of “Evolution”. It searched through cinematographic analysis and the implementation of workshops based on a strategy known as the guided investigation cycle from the EEPE (Education of the ecology in the playground of the School) (Arango, 2002), students will manage to integrate their previous knowledge with new one, in order to improve their knowledge and to make reflections, critics about the contents displayed during the activity. This research was made by a qualitative and quantitative study from pre diagnosis test and post test for analysis of results, taking as evidence students from 9A and 9B grades, from Agustiniano Suba School. The results of pre test showed a greater appropriation of the concept “Evolution” on 9B students; reason which allowed 9A students was chosen for the application of the cine forums and their respective workshops. Closing the activities we managed to demonstrate that the curve of learning of 9A students improves considerably; whereas the one of 9B students continues stable. Analyzed data reflect the effectiveness of the tool as well, since the percentage of students who did not have clear the concepts related to “Evolution” concept, it turned from 24% to 19%; as well the percentage of students who denying the evolution as a result at the beginning turned from 16% to 87%, it means: students managed to recognize the evolution like a principle of the development of alive in the planet. It is possible to emphasize as well the educative innovation that supposed the use of the cinema within the academic reality of the students, considering that students had not atended cine forum before. In order to conclude, a considerable improvement as far as the direct appropriation of the evolution concept is emphasized, since the results show a greater recognition of the theoretical postulates and their respective representatives.
