| oxford first maths dictionary: El diccionario escolar de ciencia: un aliado en el aula Rosa Estopà Bagot, 2021-05-10 El aprendizaje del vocabulario especializado es progresivo y está relacionado con el rendimiento académico. Un vocabulario amplio es uno de los mayores activos que puede tener un niño. Este libro parte de la idea de que el conocimiento científico-técnico empieza en la palabra en edades muy tempranas. Desde los primeros cursos escolares, el trabajo específico con los términos de una materia permite asegurar su asimilación adecuada. Por eso, contar con recursos para realizar actividades enfocadas a consolidar el léxico específico en cualquier materia curricular es básico, ya que no existe ciencia sin lenguaje, ni conocimiento académico sin terminología. La autora realiza un viaje iniciático por el léxico especializado siempre con una mirada puesta en las necesidades de los escolares. En este viaje el diccionario especializado escolar se convierte en un aliado que debemos llevar en la mochila. En el libro se defiende la idea de que una de las llaves de la puerta del conocimiento científico es el léxico de una lengua. El diccionario especializado escolar, como cualquier recurso léxico que ayude a fortalecer los vínculos entre el cocimiento y el lenguaje, es un gran amigo en el camino de la ciencia y de la lengua. Un camino fascinante que no concluye jamás, pero que, seguramente, empieza en la escuela. |
