Learning Based on Projects. Didactic Experience in Secondary School Education implementing computer tools (ICT) in the course Learn, Undertake, and prosper

Abstract

The use of learning based on projects and the use of the computer tools (ICT) is an innovation in secondary school education as traditional teaching methods, which promote behaviorist educational contexts and limit the development of moral and intellectual autonomy of the learner, continue to be rooted in the teaching paradigm of the system. Nevertheless, in the study carried out with tenth grade students of secondary school in the course Learn, Undertake, and Prosper, it was found that this strategy and didactic resource is appropriate to promote meaningful and relevant learning for life. Besides this, this strategy and didactic resource allow the learner to develop entrepreneurial aptitudes and attitudes during his or her secondary school education when applying his or her knowledge in the solution of problems of his or her community. The research methodological approach was carried out by adopting the theoretical foundations of the Socratic Paradigm and the research action approach for the implementation of the educational changes as well as the use of the use of qualitative research techniques and instruments.
