By means of a qualitative design with content analysis techniques, 53 proposals of laboratory activities were analyzed. Data regarding inquiry levels and skills and about the pedagogical activities that favor investigation were generated. Most textbooks exhibit a very low level of inquiry; their scripts develop limited cognitive skills; and the activities that promote inquiry are very scarce. Some differences could be noticed among textbooks, as one of them proposes more pedagogical activities that promote inquiry than the other ones, although there is predominance of certain activities to the detriment of others. Se caracterizaron actividades prácticas de laboratorio presentes en libros de texto de Biología de uso frecuente en el nivel secundario. Mediante un diseño cualitativo con técnicas de análisis de contenido se analizaron 53 propuestas de actividades de laboratorio. Se generaron datos con respecto a los niveles y habilidades de indagación y sobre las actividades pedagógicas que favorecen la indagación. En su mayoría poseen un nivel de indagación muy bajo, sus guiones desarrollan escasas habilidades cognitivas y las actividades que promueven la indagación son muy escasas. Fue posible advertir algunas diferencias entre los libros, dado que uno de ellos propone más actividades pedagógicas que promueven la indagación que los otros, aunque hay predominancia de ciertas actividades en desmedro de otras.   Asociación de Docentes de Ciencias Biológicas de la Argentina 2018-06-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/revistaadbia/article/view/22544 10.59524/2344-9225.v21.n1.22544 Journal of Biology Education; Vol. 21 No. 1 (2018): Revista de Educación en Biología.
