Enseñanza de las ciencias. Naturaleza de la ciencia. Noticias de ciencia. Práctica científica. Prensa digital.Abstract
One of the most characteristic features of scientific practice is the variety of methods that scientists use in their research. However, the distorted conception that a standard scientific method exists, which is applied by all scientists in their research, remains deeply rooted in society. This can be verified not only in textbooks and curricular prescriptions for school science, but also in the media. Consequently, in this paper it is proposed the critical and reflective reading of certain news from the digital press as a resource for learning about methodological diversity in scientific practice.
