Promotion of divergent thinking in Biophysics courses

Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for Biophysics courses in Teacher Training, which prioritizes understanding, critical thinking and divergent thinking. The proposal has been developed since 2013 at the Institute of Teachers "Artigas" of Montevideo, and includes various activities that give rise to multiple possible answers (or products) correct. Students recognize that the proposal involves challenges and evaluate the experience as positive, in particular by allowing them to position themselves in their future teaching role, prioritize content, learn to ask questions and generate learning situations, as valuable opportunities for deep learning.
