Hacia una nueva escuela: creencias y actividades del profesorado

Towards a new school: Teacher's beliefs and activities

Pages 11-24 | Published online: 23 Jan 2014
 

Resumen

Este artículo trata de contextualizar los distintos trabajos que se incluyen en esta sección monográfica. Reflexionamos, en primer lugar, sobre las relaciones que pueden existir entre lo) que significa la construcción de “una nueva escuela” y el papel que el profesorado desempeña en ella. En principio consideraremos que hay un intento de ir más allá de un modelo transmisor de conocimientospara trabajar en loo que podríamos llamar un constructivismo social, lo cual requiere que los docentes han de comprenderse en su propio aprendizajey romper ellos mismos las paredes de las aulas. Veremos, además, cómo la construcción de esa nueva escuela puede abordarse desde distintas perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas; la convergencia entre ellas parecen lograrse tanto desde los problemas que se observan como desde los instrumentos que se utilizan para mirarlos, entre ellos destaca el análisis del discurso.

Abstract

This paper explores the way in which the several papers included in this monographic section devoted to “New school and teachers' activities” are convergent. We focus on the relationships between “a new school construction” and the special role that teachers could play. This new school is intended to go beyond a transmission model of teaching and learning in order to achieve working from the perspective of a social constructivism. In that context, teachers need to understand their own learning and break through the school's walls to be present in everyday life, thus guiding children through new ways of learning. Moreover, we shall also reflect on how “a new school construction” can be approached by considering several theoretical and methodological perspectives; making them converge is achieved by taking into account the problems that need to be analysed as well as the tools used to examine them; special attention is placed on discourse analysis as a methodological instrument.
