description Quality in education requires a complete articulation between educational policies and what is done in the classrooms. The objective of the study is to analyze these two factors, applied within the area of natural sciences of a Colombian educational institution, for the levels of basic and secondary education. It is a qualitative research, descriptive level, in which the hermeneutical method and categorization were used. Three teachers of natural sciences and environmental education participated in the study, to whom a categorization matrix was applied on their subject and classroom planning, as well as on national policies. In politics, the most relevant category is scientific competence, associated with the ability to carry out scientific research. However, from the curricular planning and the classroom environment, little goes into the skills of this competence. It is concluded that the curricular planning of the teachers and the classroom environment do not conform to the educational policies, in relation to the teaching of natural sciences.

La calidad en la educación exige una completa articulación entre las políticas educativas y aquello que se hace en las aulas. El objetivo del estudio es analizar estos dos factores, aplicados dentro del área de ciencias naturales de una institución educativa colombiana, para los niveles de formación básica y media. Es una investigación de corte cualitativo, de nivel descriptivo, en el que se emplearon el método hermenéutico y la categorización. En el estudio participaron tres docentes de ciencias naturales y educación ambiental, a quienes se les aplicó una matriz de categorización sobre su planeación de asignatura y aula, así como a las políticas de orden nacional. En las políticas, la categoría más relevante es la competencia científica, asociada a la habilidad para realizar investigaciones de carácter científico. Sin embargo, desde la planeación curricular y el ambiente de aula, poco se profundiza en las habilidades propias de esta competencia. Se concluye que la planeación curricular de los docentes y el ambiente de aula, no se ajustan a las políticas educativas, en relación con la enseñanza de las ciencias naturales.
