Abstract

Abstract: This research introduces a bibliographic review of the pedagogical foundations contemplated in the Institutional Pedagogical Proposal of Abdón Calderón Muñoz High School of Arenillas city, which allowed to answer the question: What principles of constructivism contribute to the students learning in the foundation of the Institutional Pedagogical Proposal? To answer this question, some authors constructivist principles were taken into account to relate them to the proposed in the institutional pedagogical foundations. The Educational Proposal is based on constructivism as a pedagogical model which leads to the educational practice where students participate in the construction of their own learning actively, where their previous experiences constitute an important axis for their training. This work aims to show how important is to carry out the constructivist approach in the classrooms; showing that it is a pedagogical current that it is focused on the students themselves basing on the fact that getting the new knowledge involves an activity of the subject itself and that the students themselves have to create new mental constructions through their own experiences, previous knowledge and manipulations.
