Abstract

Teaching Biology at compulsory levels today is a challenge mainly for secondary school teachers, which goes beyond purely teaching and reaches shades of social responsibility. It is, no more and no less, about contributing to the not so widespread ‘scientific literacy’ — ‘biological literacy’ in our case — of the citizens, through didactic work in compulsory educational stages: Primary Education (EP) and Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), which may continue for students who choose to continue with Post-compulsory Secondary Education (Baccalaureate and Vocational Training).
