Abstract

This didactic proposal is focused on the development of scientific competences through the Inquiry-based Learning methodology in 5th grade students of Basic General Education. To achieve the objectives, a mixed investigation was carried out, that is, qualitative and quantitative, in which interviews, surveys and classroom observations were carried out with teachers in the area of Natural Sciences in the Middle Sub-level of Basic General Education. With the results obtained in the research instruments and the theoretical review, it was possible to propose sections of appropriate and different activities worked with the inquiry-based learning methodology (ABI) in the city of Zaruma.
