Principios del constructivismo social en la Propuesta Pedagógica Institucional

Abstract

Abstract: The principles of social constructivism guide pedagogical processes towards optimal learning, through the individual process of meaning construction, performance for learning from direct experience, individual understanding in interaction and authentic performance for authentic understanding. Given that this ensures quality, inclusion, significance and durability in learning, the present study has the general objective of explaining the contribution of Social Constructivism to student learning as a foundation of the Institutional Pedagogical Proposal of the Educational Unit La Inmaculada, in the city of Cuenca. The results allow us to identify that they do use these five principles, although they appear implicitly in the PEI. In addition, these underpin the core of the PEI, which is in line with what is contemplated in the Organic Law of Intercultural Education and the National Curriculum 2016. Therefore, it is concluded that the principles contribute to a comprehensive learning orientation (cognitive, psychomotor, language and socio-affective). However, their relationship in teaching practice is not clear since they do not have a completed PCI.
