Short stories with science for childhood<br />
in Venezuela. Multimedia technology<br />
as a learning tool<br />
ABSTRACT<br />
Transdisciplinary and transversal classroom work and the requirements of didactic<br />
materials adequate to this new view have promoted the formulation of proposals that<br />
may satisfy the needs that have often been diagnosed. The work that Basic School<br />
teachers have to carry out, especially in the second stage, motivated the design and<br />
production of a set of didactic materials in electronic (multimedia) format entitled<br />
Short Stories with Science for Childhood in Venezuela (Cuentos con ciencia para la<br />
infancia de Venezuela). Its main aim is to support the teacher in the interrelation of<br />
academic areas, on the basis of a set of narrative texts which are directly linked with<br />
elements from Geography, History and Natural Sciences. The methodology employed<br />
was that of special projects with a qualitative-quantitative approach. Throughout the<br />
process, the contents of Natural Sciences and Social Sciences were validated by means<br />
of an instrument designed ad hoc. The ultimate aim of the work is to provide teachers<br />
of first and second stage of Basic School with a tool that is adequate to the dynamics<br />
required by new technologies as well as by philosophical and pedagogical precepts of<br />
the National Basic Curriculum.<br />
