El aprendizaje basado en proyecto: Realidad y perspectivas

Abstract

The teaching-learning process among its main objectives is to develop skills that allow students to interpret those phenomena with which they interact daily and thus meet demands and needs useful for life. His achievement requires the search for novel alternatives. Despite the efforts made by the authorities of the Ecuadorian education sector, even in public and private institutions, traditional methodologies are still used, where the teacher plays the leading role, relegating students to the background; that is, they assume the role of passive receptors. The research from which the data taken into account for the writing of this scientific work was derived, was developed in ten educational units of the province of Los Ríos - Ecuador - for its development methods of the empirical and theoretical levels of the research were applied scientific In addition to collecting the required information, the survey technique was used, which was applied to a total of 100 teachers and 9 experts. Among the main results shown in this article is a synthesis of the situation in the province under study, as well as a methodology aimed at supporting, from a methodological point of view, project-based learning. Arriving at the conclusion that the conditions that such learning fosters, in addition to abbreviating the process, create motivational premises for teachers and students that raise the levels of knowledge and academic performance of students and their consequent academic quality.
