Abstract

Abstract: This research was conducted at the Bellamaría Educational Unit, a public institution located in the province of El Oro, canton Balsas, rural parish of Bellamaría. The objective of the research was to analyze the contribution of social constructivism to the students' learning. For this purpose, a documentary research of the Institutional Pedagogical Proposal was carried out, where its foundation was systematically interpreted to know the presence of the principles of social constructivism within its guidelines using the data analysis technique and information was collected transversally using the relationship matrix instrument. This research was guided by the interpretivist philosophy, with an inductive approach and a qualitative methodological route. The results obtained in the research showed that four of the five constructivist principles are present in the IPP guidelines, which allows concluding that social constructivism guides the teaching, learning and evaluation process of the Bellamaría Educational Unit. Although the results obtained are not generalizable, the present work serves to increase knowledge in the area investigated and more contributions are expected in future research.
