Del aprendizaje significativo al aprendizaje sustentable. Parte 1: El modelo teórico

Abstract

Constructivism and Science-Technology-Society approaches are particularly related to the significance of learning. Meaningful learning and its antagonist, rote learning are words highly used in educational literature. Practical usage of these words has brought about a simplification of the former, which is nowadays strongly associated with the teaching of motivational issues, and has undervalued the latter. These facts are considered in this paper. We propose a Sustainable Cognitive Model of Conscientious Learning (SCMCL) aimed at overcoming those critical points, to that end defining the terms Sustained learning, isolated learning and support concept.
