Del aprendizaje tradicional al cambio de paradigma educativo

Abstract

The present article defends that the traditional educational system is a failure for the current society. Based on three fundamental arguments supported by the contributions of Paulo Freire, Manuel Castells, Mario Kaplun, Henry Giroux, and other authors, it was evidenced that there are insufficiencies in the activation and in the teaching process, that a profound transformation of the school in Its structures and training practices, and that teaching competences should be reinforced in aspects that have not yet been estimated: the development of self-esteem, empathy and communication skills in children. In the final section, the text proposes three alternative methods of education: Doman, Kumon and Waldorft.
