Abstract

In the educational system, and in a particular way the teaching-learning process, reflects among its main objectives, to propose the development of abilities, capacities and skills, which enable students to interpret those phenomena with which they interact in a daily context and in this way, satisfying demands and useful needs for life, always taking into account the importance of developing in the educational field, the best skills and the best of the cognitive actions of each student. To speak of project-based learning is to be linked to an interdisciplinary work, where in its application processes, the cooperation of other areas of knowledge can be promoted, through the development of activities that promote the search for new scientific perspectives associated with a context real and concrete, because with knowledge of the cause it can be affirmed that despite the efforts made by the authorities of the Ecuadorian education sector, even in public and private institutions, traditional methodologies continue to be used, where the teacher plays the leading role, relegating the students to the background, assuming the role of passive receivers. Undoubtedly, in project-based learning, the student body builds a final project through the use of research strategies, however, to contribute to the improvement of this methodology, the component and the research action, it must be a fundamental characteristic, until reaching to be consolidated as a true cognitive, procedural and attitudinal action, which are, in short, those pillars on which the application of this model is based.
