Técnica del debate para la enseñanza aprendizaje de estudios sociales

Abstract

The technique of debate as a learning tool seeks to help establish a practice of active intervention of students, using it as an educational technique for the development of debates as a means of learning, which provides a very useful practice for the student's mental progress, given in this way, the contents that are given in the subject of social studies can be linked. It is of vital importance that teachers are related to David Ausubel's pedagogical method, since this model focuses on the construction of meaningful learning, based on techniques and strategies proposed by the teacher, allowing the insertion of the technique of debate to strengthen the student's analytical thinking. Most teachers do not use techniques to improve their students, which is why there is attention deficit in this subject such as social studies, so students show little interest in each of the topics, this is because the content is very tedious. For this reason, the present research project is directed to the implementation of the debate technique for teaching-learning in social studies of 7th-year students of the Virgen de Fátima Private Educational Unit of the City of Machala, with the purpose of providing a solution. to our problems in said institution. The methodology addressed in the research is of a qualitative-quantitative nature based on a statistical method, where the interview was applied to 1 teacher and surveys to 15 students of the Virgen de Fátima Private Educational Unit. Likewise, techniques such as qualitative instruments were implemented, such as observation of students and a checklist. Thanks to this study, it was possible to reach the established problem, resulting in the lack of implementation of techniques by the teacher of the Virgen de Fátima Educational Unit, in the teaching-learning of social studies. It has also been found that teachers rarely use teaching strategies, the same strategies are often not planned, in some cases they are not related to the teaching content of a given area, and when different topics are used in the teaching process, students do not develop their abilities to learn. In the presence of a shortage of techniques in the classroom, it has been decided to develop a didactic guide addressed to the students of the Virgen de Fátima Educational Unit with the objective of promoting techniques such as innovative strategies that contribute to the critical and reflective thinking of the students, what this proposal is innovative and viable, due to the technical, economic and affable demands it compensates for the needs that the institution exposes. Finally, the need arises to generate viable alternatives, executing this type of methodology, such as the debate technique, in order to focus on the teaching - student learning, discovering what their learning problems are in the area of study. adapting the learning potential or development of skills that students need, since the active debate technique will be adequate to discuss or inquire about the topics in this subject.
