Seven Pounds and Biology. Zoology and organs transplant at the epilogue of this film, an experience at a teacher training course

Abstract

Didactic experiences at teaching training courses have a great impact on theprofile building up of a future teacher. Those experiences must coincide with the meanswhich are available to teach science at a secondary level education: to develop criticalcitizens. Educational proposals in zoology with a STS approach provide an integrated vision,interdisciplinary and scientific knowledge problematizing, which made a connection betweenscience and reality in which people are immerse in society. The use of films as a didacticsource, allows connecting in a very positive way scientific and technological progress withsocial issues. This didactic experience, which we have showed has developed a critical gaze tothe film Seven Pounds, with support in Zoology, Medicine and Law. The film was seen with thehelp of a guide, making scientific knowledge mobilize, and reflect on them to later on applythem on specific situations.
