Resumen

En este trabajo se resumen los resultados de investigaciones en ciencias cognitivas, educación de las ciencias y didácticas disciplinarias específicas sobre el razonamiento humano que proporcionan información relevante para el aprendizaje de la química, y se resaltan sus implicaciones para el currículum, la enseñanza y la evaluación en la disciplina. En el ensayo se describen y analizan diversas perspectivas cognitivas sobre la naturaleza del conocimiento de los estudiantes y su impacto sobre el razonamiento y el aprendizaje.
