- Abstract
Human breastfeeding presents characteristics of socioscientific problems, identifying in it different controversies, among which is the one related to the use of breast milk or formula milk. This paper analyzes the influence of an instructional module, which combines three teaching strategies: label analysis, roleplaying and controversy mapping, on the reasoning of 62 preservice elementary teachers on this controversy. For this purpose, a pretest and posttest task were used asking for their reasoned position on which breastfeeding model is better: with breast milk or formula milk. The instructional module has influenced the number of reasons and the types of reasoning made by the participants, but not their positions with respect to the controversy, which were clearly in favor of breast milk. Likewise, a significant increase is found in the number of reasons showing adequate scientific knowledge. Finally, some teaching and other implications for further research are raised.
