Resumen

Se pasa revista en este artículo a los tres ejes que conforman la línea de investigación de los autores en psicología de la educación, a saber, considerar la arquitectura, no sólo cognitiva, sino instrumental y cultural, del significado; la necesidad de unir en la investigación y en el diseño educativo las vertientes de significado y de sentido que caracterizan el funcionamiento psicológico de los individuos, y que solo se articulan sobre la base de sistemas de actividad; por último, la necesidad de contemplar las formas de representación humanas menos formalizadas y desdeñadas hasta hace muy poco por la psicología de la educación: las denominadas bajo el epígrafe de conocimiento informal. En torno a estos tres ejes, se exponen ejemplos de investigación y de intervención que conforman lo que hemos denominado diseño cultural.

Abstract

This paper is a review of three central concerns in the authors' line of research in Educational Psychology. First, to consider the construction of meaning not only from a cognitive point of view, but also from instrumental and practical viewpoints. Second, the need to take into account—in research as well as in educational practice—two main features of human psychological functioning, sense and meaning, which are only found in whole activity systems. Finally, the need of consider non-formalized representational forms which until recently were largely ignored in Educational Psychology. Around these three main concerns the authors' research and intervention work is presented to exemplify what they call cultural design.
