In teaching-learning , both aspects are closely related and depend on each other so that the acquisition of knowledge occurs in an effective way, allowing students to have permanent learning in online and face-to-face training.
What is a teaching and learning process?
To have an approach to what constitutes the teaching-learning process , it is usually necessary to understand the definitions of learning and teaching separately:
Teaching
It is a process that is generated to the extent that there is a reciprocal interaction between a teacher and his students, so that knowledge can be socialized.
Learning
For lifelong learning to occur, it is necessary for teachers and students to act actively and become aware of what they are learning at the moment so that they have behavioral and cognitive development and can enhance creative and critical thinking, as well as the formation of values.
How is the teaching-learning process conceived?
Teaching learning usually occurs throughout the life of the human being, even in some everyday situations in which one person shows another how to carry out certain procedures or how they should behave in an event.
In this sense, as mentioned above, it is not possible to talk about learning without taking teaching into account, because both elements are interrelated to be conceived as a teaching-learning process.
The teaching-learning process is made up of 4 elements that are the content, the teacher, the student and the environmental variables , which may have a greater or lesser degree of influence depending on the way in which they are related in a given context. .
Next, we will proceed to explain how each of these act in the teaching-learning process:
Student
Some of their abilities must be taken into consideration, such as intelligence, motivation to learn, learning speed, previous knowledge, socioeconomic structure and interests, among others.
Knowledge
It is necessary to assess each of the aspects of a topic studied, such as its meaning, the relevance of this topic or how it is applied in practice.
school/classroom
This learning environment is essential, because it is the place where this educational process of exchange and assimilation of knowledge usually takes place.
teacher
This individual is the one who helps knowledge to be transmitted in an effective way . Factors such as the relationship between teacher and student are usually involved, as well as the cognitive dimension, which includes the didactic, technical and intellectual aspects involved in the teaching process.
In the same way, the commitment that this educator has with the teaching-learning process, as well as his attitude and capacity to innovate, also tends to be very relevant.
How to apply constructivist learning in Education?
Constructivism is a learning model in which it is established that the social, cognitive and affective aspects of students constitute their own construction that is generated day by day as a result of the interaction that occurs between the environment and internal dispositions. of these individuals.
Florez Ochoa (1998) expresses that the cognitive function is at the service of life and it is an adaptive function that allows the knower to organize their experiential world.
Thus, according to the constructivist approach, knowledge is not a copy of reality, but can be considered as a construction of the human being that is formed through previous schemes or knowledge that said person possesses and has acquired from the relationship that there is. established with the environment that surrounds it.
Some of the keys that a teacher must take into account to guarantee a teaching-learning process that is based on the constructivist model are the following:
act as a mediator
The teacher must be a mediator in the learning process of the students. He has to stimulate and motivate them, as well as provide criteria and diagnose the situations and learning requirements that each particular student has. He must also focus on those of the whole class.
Promote values in students
It is important that in addition to teaching the content knowledge of the official curriculum, teachers also help students to be able to develop values , promoting and facilitating harmonious relationships between these students in the class and at school.
Act as a tutor to students
Educators have to play the role of tutors and be in charge of coordinating, advising and facilitating educational experiences that allow students to learn and achieve each of the objectives, purposes or competencies proposed in the planning of the program content.
Promote a classroom climate of free expression
Students must experience that they are in a harmonious environment where they can express their opinions and ask their questions . For this, the use of activating questions can be ideal to encourage the integration of students and the conception of learning communities.
Perform a diagnostic exam to plan the study program
Diagnostic tests are ideal for knowing what the strengths and weaknesses of students are. Based on this information, students will be able to plan what programmatic content will be addressed, as well as the way in which this will be carried out.
Promote collaborative learning
It is necessary for students to carry out the reconstruction of knowledge through interaction with others and, at the same time, work towards being able to develop specific cognitive abilities such as synthesis, analysis and understanding of language.
Generate learning experiences to encourage reflective thinking
Critical and reflective thinking should be encouraged through exercises in which students have to find certain solutions to the problems raised. This has the purpose that they can develop the capacity to learn to learn.
Luca: an educational platform with a constructivist approach
The Luca Educational platform is a virtual environment that serves as a didactic resource to carry out a teaching-learning process under a constructivist model, since it comes with interactive activities such as the use of online educational games, dynamic videos and tests that serve to that students can validate their knowledge.
conclusion
The teaching-learning process today should have as its purpose that students and teachers establish interactions in which both figures are willing to learn from each other, enriching the construction of knowledge from different points of view that can generate approaches new.
Likewise, both critical thinking and lateral or creative thinking are essential to create individuals with a greater awareness of their role in the world and the need they have to exercise responsibility for each of their actions.
These students have full freedom and power to access a wealth of information and materials in printed and digital formats, so that they can choose what is really valuable, whether they study under the Virtual Education , B-learning or virtual education modality. face-to-face
