This work presents the design of a thesis project for Teaching Career in Chemistry from Universidad Nacional del Comahue, located in Argentine North Patagonia. This project involves a proposal development at a high school to analyze its implementation. The country's main geological formation called Vaca Muerta is located in North Patagonian Argentine area. It is an oil shale reserve of global importance and its extraction requires a specific technique called fracking; this technique attracts the attention of many sectors of the population for their economic, political and environmental implications. The didactic proposal focuses focuses on this particular joint in.The methodology used for recording data includes classroom observations and records to assess the student motivation, skills and learning from an innovative teaching guide. This proposal includes the STS approach, linking Science with Technology, Society and Environment. This perspective fosters a critical stance toward science and its relationship to technological production, environment and social dynamics. It aims to teach the disciplinary content from relevant issues that are motivating and promote the development of scientific attitudes and care for the environment. It also promote informative, argumentative and communicative skills. Designing data collection tools such as surveys and interviews from competent organizations are proposed to contribute to the research.Results obtained from the metacognitive analysis of teaching proposal, implementation and adjustments are presented.
