Del aprendizaje significativo al aprendizaje sustentable. Parte 2: Derivaciones comunicacionales y didácticas

Abstract

Communication between the teacher's (expert) and the students' (novices) minds takes place in the classroom. In this context, we propose a Sustainable Cognitive Model of Conscious Learning (SCMCL) that permits reinterpretations and redefinitions both of teaching procedures and of learning processes.

In this paper, we analyze syntactic and semantic aspects of languages as obstacles for communicational skills in the classroom. We also dispute, from an epistemological base, traditional teaching activities such as finding out preconceptions, creating cognitive conflicts, and promoting conceptual changes, putting forth alternatives based on SCMCL.
