Delimitación de "lo que el alumno sabe" a partir de objetivos y modelos de enseñanza

Abstract

The educational principle proposed by Ausubel; «to find out the knowledge of the pupil and teach him consequently» is assumed by most of the educators; however, this principle does not delimit the sentence: «the knowledge of the pupil». So this sentence can have different interpretations according to the information the teacher requests from the pupil's cognitive structure to carry out the instructional process that, at the same time, depends on the teaching objetives. From here, in this paper we attempt to delimit «the knowledge of the pupil» about science as useful information to carry out the design of teaching based on the Altenative Conception Movement, Ausubel's Theory and Piaget's Theory.
