Abstract
Esta tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo principal mejorar la enseñanza del suelo en el sistema educativo español, centrándose en tres niveles clave: Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO), Grado en Magisterio y Máster de Profesorado. A partir de un diagnóstico inicial, se identifican importantes deficiencias en la forma en que el conocimiento edáfico se aborda en los currículos, libros de texto y concepciones previas del alumnado, que tiende a percibir el suelo como un elemento inerte, estático y desconectado de los procesos ecológicos, sociales y económicos. La investigación adopta una metodología mixta, combinando enfoques cualitativos y cuantitativos. Se analiza críticamente el currículo oficial, los materiales escolares y las ideas previas del alumnado en distintos niveles educativos, con el fin de detectar lagunas conceptuales y limitaciones en los enfoques didácticos actuales. La muestra incluye estudiantes de ESO, de Grados de formación docente y del Máster de Profesorado, lo que permite obtener una visión amplia y comparativa del tratamiento del suelo en las diferentes etapas educativas...
This doctoral thesis focuses on improving the teaching of soil in the Spanish education system, particularly at the levels of Compulsory Secondary Education, the Bachelor's Degree in Primary Education, and the Master's in Teacher Training. A critical analysis of the national curriculum, school textbooks, and students’ preconceptions reveals significant deficiencies in how soil knowledge is currently addressed in classrooms. Students typically perceive soil as an inert and secondary material, disconnected from ecological and social processes, which limits their scientific understanding and environmental awareness. The research combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies to assess students’ knowledge across different educational stages and compare it with the learning objectives established by educational legislation and textbooks. In response to the conceptual gaps identified, an interdisciplinary educational proposal was designed and implemented. This proposal is based on inquiry-based learning and hands-on experimental activities, aiming to deepen students’ understanding and foster more engaged, environmentally responsible attitudes...
