The school teaching of weather and climate in Spain: educational curriculum and didactic proposals
Abstract
The climate is the group of mechanisms and atmospheric processes perceived and experienced by humans beings -the permanent environment that is produced in a specific place- plus the explanation of its causes -the string of the types of weather-. Its teaching in the basic educative levels doesn't hide certain complexity, as we should bet on an adequate selection of contents and teaching practices so as not to turn what is, without a doubt, an interesting and contemporary topic into a memory study without reflection. Starting from the analysis and assessment of the curricular contents that on weather and climate are taught in compulsory education, the resources and types of activities used in the classroom are reviewed, proposing some didactic proposals with which to improve the teaching-learning of school Climatology, for which its design and pedagogic adaptation has counted with the necessary assistance by teachers of basic education.
