    El propósito del presente estudio es de reconstruir encuadres educativos, altamente inexplorados, de los textos e imágenes de las noticias oficiales en línea sobre cambio climático en América Latina, enfocado en lo que los lectores puedan aprender de ellos. Para el efecto, se aplicó un análisis cualitativo de contenido a textos (14) e imágenes (35) en las noticias regionales de 2014. Los resultados generales demuestran que los procesos cognitivos incluyen adquisición de conocimientos y comprensión. Los artículos presentados en un entorno virtual tienen implicaciones en el aprendizaje de los lectores. Se recomienda realizar estudios comparativos.

    The purpose of this study is to reconstruct educational frames in texts and images of official, online climate change news’ articles in Latin America, which have remained largely unexplored. Qualitative content analysis of regional news in 2014 was applied to reconstruct educational frames found in texts (14) and images (35). Findings showed mainly educational frames aimed at cognitive processes such as knowledge acquisition and comprehension. Articles presented in a hypertextual environment may have implications for readers’ learning. Further study is required for comparative purposes.
