ITURRALDE, María Cristina; MARIEL BRAVO, Bettina  y  FLORES, Ariadna. Current Agenda in Teaching Research in the Natural Sciences in Latin America and the Caribbean. REDIE [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.3, pp.49-59. ISSN 1607-4041.  https://doi.org/10.24320/redie.2017.19.3.905.

This work presents a literature review of research journals in science teaching in Latin America and the Caribbean with the aim of identifying, describing and characterizing the main lines of research. The documentary basis is made up of 15 scientific journals and 490 papers that report work in educational research. From the abstracts of the papers it was possible to identify the problems addressed, which were grouped into five dimensions: learning science, teaching science, the science curriculum, science teachers and students of science teaching. The results show that teaching and learning science is the main problem addressed by most studies conducted in Latin America and the Caribbean.
