This work discloses the result of the application of dichotomous keys in the Geology subject. Geology is part of the study plan of three careers of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences and Agriculture of the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste. Year after year, we observed the difficulty of the students to be able to identify minerals and different types of rocks, the decision was made to look for a visual didactic tool that helps the students in this process. For this, dichotomous keys were adapted taking into account the available geological material and the needs of the students, resulting in four types of keys adapted to the region. As a result of its application, we observed greater independence of the students in the identification of the geological material provided in the practical classes and better performance in the evaluations that require recognition of this type of material. El paradigma constructivista plantea que el proceso de enseñanza debe ser dinámico, con participación activa del sujeto que aprende. En este contexto las decisiones tomadas en el aula por el docente impactan de manera directa en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Este trabajo da a conocer el resultado de la aplicación de claves dicotómicas en la asignatura Geología, que forma parte del plan de estudio de tres carreras de grado de la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales y Agrimensura de la Universidad Nacional del Nordeste. Años tras año se ha observado la dificultad de los alumnos en la identificación de minerales y diferentes tipos de rocas. Es por ello que se tomó la decisión de incorporar una herramienta didáctica de tipo visual (claves dicotómicas) que ayude a los alumnos en este proceso. La tarea consistió en adaptar las claves dicotómicas ya existentes, teniendo en cuenta el material geológico disponible en la asignatura y las necesidades de los alumnos. Como resultado, se obtuvieron cuatro claves dicotómicas adaptadas a la región. Al aplicar estas herramientas didácticas, observamos mayor independencia de los alumnos en la identificación del material geológico proporcionado en las clases prácticas y mejor desempeño en las evaluaciones que requieren reconocimiento de este tipo de materiales.
