Indagando sobre la integración de las ciencias en los liceos Bolivarianos

in may 2007 we organized the seminar-workshop ？integration of natural sciences and mathematics in bolivarian high schools？. in this event we had the participation of numerous students from the school of education of the universidad de los andes, and also teachers, coordinators and directors from bolivarian high schools in mérida. representatives of three bolivarian high schools and some faculty from the school of education exposed points of view and valuable ideas to achieve the much wanted integration of sciences. the attendants performed some exercises on integrated planning according to the project-based learning method. although some difficulties in the elaboration of these plans were identified, the teachers showed they are motivated and capable of accomplishing them. the impressions on the seminar-workshop suggest the need for continuing to create spaces for the exchange between educational institutions and the university as the place where preservice teachers are trained.
