The study uses a qualitative methodology and is based on interviews with teachers and documentary analysis of the Curricular Design. The results reveal a gap between what is prescribed in the curriculum and its implementation in the classroom, and highlight the importance of promoting critical thinking in science and technology education. The interviewed teachers point out that the approach is mainly theoretical and that they adapt the contents according to the group, which faces difficulties such as the lack of time to cover all the contents, the lack of previous training of the students, the lack of resources to carry out practical experimental, and who find it difficult to relate the contents to everyday life.

Este artículo analiza las tensiones entre las prescripciones curriculares y la enseñanza de la física, específicamente en el espacio de Introducción a la Física para 4.o año de la provincia de Buenos Aires. El estudio utiliza una metodología cualitativa y se basa en entrevistas a docentes y análisis documental del Diseño Curricular. Los resultados revelan una brecha entre lo prescrito en el currículum y su implementación en el aula, y resaltan la importancia de fomentar un pensamiento crítico en la educación científica y tecnológica. Los y las docentes entrevistadas señalan que el enfoque es principalmente teórico y que adaptan los contenidos según el grupo, que enfrentan dificultades como la falta de tiempo para cubrir todos los contenidos, la falta de formación previa del estudiantado, la falta de recursos para realizar prácticas experimentales, y que encuentran dificultades para relacionar los contenidos con la vida cotidiana. Cerramos el artículo describiendo una serie de propuestas que intentan apuntar a trascender estas tensiones.
