To deepen on the implementation of the inquiry methodology, is to take into account the skills and scientific competences that are desirable to achieve on the student, which is the foundation that guides the process of its implementation in the classroom. In this approach, the teacher is a facilitator of learning, which implies to promote profound changes in his teaching practice, to achieve the goals proposed by this program.
