Methodologies in Technical Teaching: Case of the Pascual Bravo Institute

Abstract

Currently Colombia has many difficulties in aspects of primary needs such as health and education. For example, high levels of school dropout have been found associated with armed conflicts and the lack of economic resources. Another of the concerns that haunt the education system are the low results in national tests such as Saber and Saber Pro and international tests such as the PISA test, where official documents show no improvement. These and other problems are daily traversed in the classroom and carried by teachers and parents, who seek to propose solutions for students who already feel discouraged and without expectations of a better future. And it is the teacher who, based on new methodologies, strategies and resources, seeks that young people get involved in their learning process in a more dynamic and creative way, where active methodologies and the use of computer teaching resources can achieve difference. This article presents some methodologies such as the research seminar, learning by projects, among others, which are applied daily in the Pascual Bravo Institute and have improved the teaching-learning process.
