Abstract: The program La Ciencia en tu Escuela began in 2002 as a program of the
Mexican Academy of Sciences in the areas of science and mathematics. It is oriented
to basic education school teachers. During these ten years the program has faced new
challenges such as growing but maintaining the quality. The growth was done in two
ways: first to rural areas, second to the creation of a distance program to reach all the
states of the country. Periodic internal evaluations and external evaluations have been
made to allow a proper tune up of the program in all its aspects. Here we present a
global overview of the onsite and distance program. We also give a taste of what is
done in mathematics.
Keywords: distance education, instructional design, Learning Management System,
constructivism, inquiry method.
