Aprendizaje significativo desde los audiovisuales, una estrategia para fortalecer el pensamiento crítico

Abstract

In today's complex educational landscape, a gap is evident between traditional teaching methods, rooted in approaches such as behaviorist or rote learning, and the growing needs and expectations of students. In a world where technological innovations envelop new generations and deconstruct old patterns of social interaction, information is no longer retained or processed in the same way as in the past. Consequently, a more dynamic and meaningful educational experience is needed, one that not only transfers knowledge but also directly engages students and connects them to the content in a way that is relevant to their lives. In this context, a fundamental question arises for teachers: how can we make the teaching of history attractive, relevant, and meaningful for students? To address this challenge, the potential of audiovisual resources and related tools is explored. It is recognized that incorporating images, videos, podcasts, and other multimedia formats can spark student interest and facilitate their understanding of historical events. These tools allow us to explore fragments of the past, providing a more complete, diverse, and human view of the contexts, actors, and experiences, making them more understandable and relatable
