Reflexiones sobre las aportaciones de la psicología genética a la educación básica

Abstract

The present article is a brief reflection on some of the proposals applied in the educational field that were discovered by Piaget in relation with the way the child builds his own knowledge. We analyze the notion of genetical psychology and make a characterization of its key points. This helps to question the attitude that is produced in schools that is related with the “scholar learning way” and on the other hand those situations where the learning process is generated “spontaneously” outside of the schools. We mention the work done by the Department of Educational Investigations (DIE) on an experimental program that deals with mathematics teaching, taking this experience as an interesting design of didactics and application.
