Abstract

Even if science stimulates the curiosity of young people because it has the charm of discovery and the unknown, the teaching/learning of the scientific disciplines is in crisis at national and international level, particularly as far as high school is concerned. Obviously, in the classrooms, the natural and good disposition of young students towards scientific disciplines is not maintained, or even totally lost. It emerges, therefore, the need to reflect on ways of looking at the teaching of scientific disciplines and how to see the role that the student can play during his schooling experience. In other words, it is necessary to reconsider professional choices in the light of explicit awareness and reference models. In order to ensure that students understand the language and the ways of operating science, the literature, both scientific and pedagogical, suggests: 1) to exploit hands-on inquiry-based learning, b) to address issues associated with the daily realities and in the social context, and c) to use an interdisciplinary approach. These three aspects will be discuss in the present contribution
