La solución de problemas para fortalecer el pensamiento reflexivo sistémico en el área de ciencias sociales en los estudiantes de grado noveno de la institución educativa Leticia

Abstract

The process of formation of the competence of systemic reflective thinking in the students of the different institutions at national and local level is considered an essential part in the integral formation of the individual because it allows him to develop skills that must be taken into account for the understanding of the world that surrounds him. The present research work has the objective of strengthening the competence of systemic reflective thinking in the ninth grade students of the Leticia Educational Institution, from a didactic strategy from the area of Social Sciences. It was framed in a qualitative methodological design, assuming the Action Research method and the socio-critical paradigm. The participants in the research were 30 students, the ninth grade teacher of the institution in question and the research group. Direct observation, interviews, discussion groups and specialized analytical summaries were implemented as collection techniques. The implementation of the didactic strategy allowed transforming the pedagogical practice, since teachers left their verticality before their students to begin to interact in a more dynamic way; this becomes evident during the planning of their classes, in the atmosphere of the academic environment, during the development of the activities and when the knowledge acquired by the students is verified. In the development of the proposed activities, the motivation that was maintained in the classroom was almost generalized, evidencing a minimum of inattention on the part of some students who did not feel comfortable with the topics proposed in the activities developed, since it was difficult for them to express themselves clearly and coherently when making their interventions, even so, they did their best to fulfill the objective of the class.
