Abstract

Abstract:Currently, there are several teaching approaches aimed at forming integral human beings. integral human beings, one of the most prominent in the educational field is Social Constructivism, which provides a series of pedagogical principles that guide the educational practice where the student learns by doing. For this reason, the present DegreeProject focuses on analyzing and identifying the Constructivist Principles exposed in the Institutional Pedagogical Proposal of the "San Joaquín" Educational Unit in order to determine what is the contribution of Constructivism within the teaching-learning process.Starting from a content analysis, the constructivist foundations that underlie the Pedagogical Proposal were investigated, then from a relational matrix these foundations were contrasted with the constructivist principles exposed by different authors and finally, the orientations for teaching and evaluation were identified, reaching the conclusion that the institution bases its teaching on constructivist foundations; considering the student as the constructor of his own understanding in his mental scheme.Applying constructivist principles in education fosters autonomy, interaction, reflection and, above all, the acquisition of lasting knowledge.
