Group work from a constructivist approach

Abstract

This document describes a didactic proposal that consists of an interactive and innovative web page that will serve as a guide to encourage effective team work in school classrooms. This idea arose from an investigation exercise carried out in an educational institution of Ecuadorian general basic education. It was observed that group work was understood as leaving students to do the tasks by themselves, not taking into consideration the role of the teacher, who must act as a guide and mediator of the teaching-learning process. The web page has a constructivist approach that will help to a new teaching perspective, leaving behind traditional education. The web has five sections: main page, tasks, processes, resources and evaluation, each one of them with sources of information that can be shared among the majority of teachers of basic education.
