The way of learning scientific concepts constitutes an obstacle in the biology learning process since students do not understand their definitions and apply them mistakenly, reinforcing tacit knowledge. Various studies indicate that such appropriation only occurs if students integrate new concepts and use them in real contexts through strategies such as ludic, word association, concept integration, or experimental practices. Regarding this background, the objective is to know if science fiction digital narrative promotes the appropriation of scientific concepts related to genetics in biology. Methodologically, the conceptual understanding is measured quantitatively by rubrics in integrative activities based on digital stories with an application in a sample of 40 students from the Enrique Cabrera Barroso Regional High School. The results show it as plausible for the appropriation of genetics concepts because, for its design, students must understand concepts and put them into practice in a story adapted to a real context and learning objectives, achieved through reflection and critical analysis. In addition, the tool promotes the association of concepts with its graphic representations supported by multimedia materials, strengthening the understanding and active participation of the group by allowing collaborative editing. In conclusion, digital narrative triggers students' creativity to write the script of the story, promoting student's autonomy and mastery of scientific knowledge in the learning process.
