description The social impact that biotechnology has in schools demands that biology teachers be constantly up to date. While looking for training proposals, teachers search for strategies that allow them to introduce biotechnology concepts in their classroom in an innovative way. In order to give an answer to this need, we designed a teacher training course on a biotechnology subject: transgenic plants. The strategy implemented was problem-based learning (PBL) in a computer supported collaborative learning environment (CSCL). The course focused on the resolution of an open problem in which teams of four people worked in a collaborative way. Each person had to fulfill a specific role in the resolution of the problem. The results of the application of this experience and some teaching considerations are discussed in this article.

La inmersión del impacto social de la Biotecnología en la escuela exige de los profesores una actualización constante. En la búsqueda de propuestas de formación los docentes demandan estrategias que les permitan introducir estos conceptos de manera renovadora en el aula. Para dar respuesta a esta necesidad diseñamos un curso de capacitación docente en un contenido disciplinar específico de Biotecnología: plantas transgénicas. La estrategia implementada fue el Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas en un ambiente de aprendizaje colaborativo mediado por las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación. La capacitación se centró en la resolución de un problema abierto de manera colaborativa en grupos de cuatro personas, en los que cada integrante debía cumplir un rol específico para la resolución del problema. Los resultados de la aplicación de esta experiencia y sus consideraciones didácticas se discuten en este artículo.
