Main Article Content
The object of this study is the generation of training devices to favor science education in contexts of interculturalism. The goal of this experience is to connect scientific and vernacular knowledge on the same subject and its teaching in primary school. For the study, we took part in an aboriginal teacher training institute, for which a workshop was designed, developed and implemented, based on the proposed objective. This paper defines the main elements of Bilingual Intercultural Education and relates the image of school science to Aboriginal Worldviews on a particular topic: Pleiades. The methodology that governs this work is action research; the implemented activities were set in ancestral knowledge determined by the chosen theme. Records were obtained through written productions, observations, interviews, document analysis, etc.
Finally, the results show the importance of stories as a way of transmitting ancestral knowledge, highlighting the fact that there are different versions of them. The majority of students who participated in the activity knew Pleiades, narrations associated with them and gave an account of their movement in the night sky, in such a way that links could be established between ancestral and scientific knowledge. On the other hand, the relevance of the designed training device exhibited students’ metacognitive work.
