Incidencia de la implementación del enfoque CLIL en el desarrollo del pensamiento científico en los estudiantes del grado 4° del Colegio Bilingüe Hispano Americano

Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to analyze the CLIL approach incidence in the scientific thinking development through Natural Science subject in 4th grade students at Colegio Bilingüe Hispano Americano. To achieve this, a comparison was made between the grades 4thB, in which the approach was applied, and 4thA which continued receiving the conventional classes. A diagnostic test was carried out in both groups in order to measure their scientific thinking level, then a didactic unit was designed and applied accordingly to the CLIL approach characteristics. An intermediate test was applied in the middle of the implementation, but only in 4thB grade, to observe the students’ advance, and finally a third test was carried out to know if there were any progress in the development of scientific thinking in both grades.
