Reconstruyendo el constructivismo: hacia un modelo evolucionista del aprendizaje de conceptos

Abstract

In this article we are presented one point of view about the two debates opened up in this journal: those of constructivism and of conceptual change. This article sets forth the formulation of a kind of constructivism based on a systemic and evolucionist perspective, a constructivism which assumes the objectivity of knowledge and which rejects any relativist positions. Hence we have the basis of an evolutionist method in the concept-learning process which explains in a plausible, simple way some essential questions of the so called conceptual change. Finally, based on this model, a few contributions have been made in the field of teaching strategies and methods, as well as an analysis of those already in existence.
