Abstract

Abstract: The current educational system has undergone major changes in education, so that educational institutions have implemented constructivist pedagogical practices, which forces teachers to renounce behaviourist theories. Hence, the present study entitled Principles of Social Constructivism in the Institutional Pedagogical Proposal of the Educational Unit "Imbana", aimed to explain the contribution of constructivism to student learning as the basis of the Pedagogical Proposal, which was developed in the province of Zamora Chinchipe, Zamora canton, Imbana parish. In order to approach this work, the IPP was taken as a reference in which the main constructivist aspects that guide the teaching-learning process were analysed, which was related to the principles of social constructivism exposed by several authors. As the study is qualitative in nature, documentary research was used, the relationship matrix was used as an instrument and content analysis was employed as a technique. After analysing the Pedagogical Proposal, it was concluded that the constructivist principles guide dynamic and innovative learning processes, where the student is the protagonist of his or her learning.
