        In this article we examine the book El estudio de la naturaleza en la escuela by the Danish pedagogue Vilhelm Rasmussen (1869–1939), published by Editorial Labor in Barcelona in 1933, and its influence on the pedagogical standpoint of Margarita Comas Camps (1892–1972). Comas, who translated the book into Spanish, was a member of the group of educators of trainee teachers that spearheaded the project for the renewal of science teaching during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939). In line with the pedagogical principles and ideas of the New School and Nature Study movements, Rasmussen – science writer, social democratic politician, atheist and Darwinist – proposed replacement of the textbook and the memorisation of concepts in natural science classes, by observation, dialogue and drawing, as well as studies of the relationships between living things in their natural environment through outdoor excursions and the use of aquaria and terraria in the classroom. We analyse Comas's Spanish translation of Nature study in the school published in England in 1929 from the Danish original of 1909, as well as Rasmussen's pedagogical proposals that Comas included in Contribución a la metodología de las ciencias naturales (1937), the last of her books to be published prior to her exile in England. In Rasmussen, an author from a country geographically and culturally distant from Spain, Comas found an outstanding reference for the teaching of natural sciences.
        En este trabajo analizamos el libro El estudio de la naturaleza en la escuela del pedagogo danés Vilhelm Rasmussen (1869–1939), publicado por Editorial Labor de Barcelona en 1933, y su influencia en los planteamientos pedagógicos de Margarita Comas Camps (1892–1972), que tradujo el libro al español y que formó parte del grupo de profesores normalistas que impulsaron el proyecto de renovación de la enseñanza de las ciencias durante la Segunda República española (1931–1939). Rasmussen, escritor de temas científicos, político socialdemócrata, ateo y darwinista, proponía sustituir el libro de texto y la memorización de conceptos por las observaciones, el diálogo, el dibujo y el estudio de las relaciones entre los seres vivos en su medio; en las excursiones, y los acuarios y terrarios en el aula, siguiendo los principios de la Escuela Nueva y el Nature Study. En este artículo estudiamos la traducción al español que realizó Comas a partir de Nature study in the school, la versión inglesa publicada en 1929 de la danesa original de 1909, así como las propuestas de Rasmussen que Comas recogió en Contribución a la metodología de las ciencias naturales (1937), su último libro publicado antes de exiliarse a Inglaterra. En Rasmussen, un autor procedente de un país alejado geográfica y culturalmente de España, Comas encontró un destacado referente para la enseñanza de las ciencias naturales.
