THE INCLUSION OF SOCIAL NETWORKS TO DEVELOP SKILLS IN SCIENCE LEARNING

Over the last decades, thanks to advances in technology, society has undergone great advances in accessibility to information and knowledge, as well as communication and social relationships. The inclusion of social networks in our university classrooms allows us to design new effective learning methods to achieve a real conceptual change in the science student’s mind. Within this model we propose audiovisual, experimental and computer teaching resources, which allow students to develop epistemological conceptions about scientific knowledge and cognitive processes and products, which have a decisive influence on their learning strategies. Therefore, the initial training of future teachers should not assume the acquisition of content should also include a set of capabilities and skills that will allow, in addition to imparting knowledge, developing curriculum projects adapted to the reality of their school and their classroom.
