GARCIA VAZQUEZ, Omar. Historical trends in the treatment of biodiversity content in Cuban Basic Secondary: a necessary review. Rev. Mendive [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.3, pp. 982-998.  Epub Sep 02, 2021. ISSN 1815-7696.

The article that is presented aims to base the results of a historical analysis of the treatment of biodiversity content, which allows revealing the main characteristics and most significant trends that have been progressively generating this content in the context of the Basic Secondary education level of Cuba. The research was based on the materialist dialectical paradigm and on a descriptive-explanatory methodology that allowed reviewing the consulted bibliography, based on the use of theoretical methods such as historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, as well as the empirical level documentary analysis. The results show how the variants used for the study of biodiversity evolved over time from the biological contents, the methodological proposals during the teaching activity, the didactic resources that were used to support the treatment and the environmental approach that was given to the content. Essentially, the historical study constitutes an antecedent that reveals the progressive transformation of the treatment of biodiversity content from a decontextualized learning of the environmental reality, with a high level of information and specialization, until reaching one that is closer to the school and community environment starting from the use of methods and procedures with an investigative approach.
