Resumo
Climate Change (CC) is one of the most important challenges that humanity faces today (IPCC, 2014). Education must play a fundamental role in understanding the magnitude of the problem and in articulating a fair, coherent and coordinated response. From a scientific point of view, Geology has much to contribute to understand the causes and consequences of the current CC, as well as to be able to predict the future of the climatic system and our planet. Despite this and from an educatio- nal perspective, teacher training usually contemplates sparse geological contents that are needed to adequately understand the role of human activity on global warming. This communication focuses on describing the design principles and contents of a MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) for teacher training on the science of CC, with special emphasis in the first module, where a geological contextualization of the problem is carried out. The course, offered at MiriadaX and in some tea- cher training centres, is based on scientific consensus, presents a positive approach and uses simple but rigorous language.
