Abstract:
The natural sciences teaching objects that are included in curricula do notconstitute simplifications of scientific knowledge, but arise as the result of certain“didactic transpositions” that constitute objects of research. In this article wepresent an approach to Greek kindergarten curricula texts, which was attemptedthrough qualitative text analysis and aimed to define the official teaching proposalsregarding the “States and Properties of Matter”. The specific teaching object wasselected among others as a discipline representative example. We describe theprocess of text analysis, the categories that emerged, as well as the possibilities ofdata interpretation offered by the use of a data presentation table, in conjunctionwith the aims of the study.
