Abstract

The current paper is intended to share and
reflect on an educational experience called Escuebichos
(from Spanish terms for ‘school’ and ‘bugs’) which is
aimed at considering the various constructs of time and
place at school, knowledge transfer, and the position
and importance that Natural Sciences are assigned at
school. This proposal seeks to make students play a
leading role in the active construction of knowledge
while dealing with experimentation, art, and game as
pedagogical tools. Escuebichos provided the possibility
of working along with other institutions and organizations
in the neighborhood that can actively participate in the
proposed activities, schools being the common place.
This experience also included ‘the travelling trunk’ with
the aim of taking itinerant exhibitions to different schools
so as to share the experience, multiply the idea, or generate new educational projects. This interdisciplinary
work was carried out within the subjects of Biology,
Mathematics, Language, ICT, and a Photo and Graffiti
Workshop; and the involved students were attending the
first and second year of secondary school.
