The educational system bases its conception on the formation of competitive human beings
to correspond the requirements of a globalized world, through not only the production and
socialization of scientific-technical knowledge, but also through the development of
capabilities of creation, critic, reflection, and analysis. From this referential context, the
purpose of this investigation was design a profile with scientific competences oriented to
the development of divergent thinking and improving the quality of education. Based on
epistemological focus the type logical-rational, and approached, from the mixed paradigm,
through both qualitative, and quantitative design. During three phases: Theoretical
conceptual, field empirical, propositional. The units of analysis are represented by
population A: Third grade elementary school students; who were tested to both a pre-test,
and a post-test through the intervention with a pedagogical proposal constituted by eight
sequences within Natural Sciences area whose main topic was the water. On the other hand,
the unit B of analysis is represented by Third, Fourth and Fifth grade elementary school
biology teachers who were tested to an applied sampling survey with sixteen items to
approach their pedagogical practice. As a main result, was evidenced a significant advance
in the comprehension level by demonstrating favorable aptitudes while developing different
activities. Even in other areas because of their active participation, and effectively solving
problem skills. From the motivation handling it was favorable to stablish an integrating
didactic-pedagogical proposal in Natural Sciences, with a scheme of structured planning by
a generative topic from the divergent question, also by phases based on the motivation, the performance of pre-knowledges, the framework, the phase of transference and valuation.
To contribute to the quality of education through the consolidation of a profile with
scientific competences oriented to the development of divergent thinking.
