Teaching-Learning Methodologies: The Paths To Human Formation

Abstract

Developing teaching-learning methodologies that contribute to human development is a necessary challenge in the current context, where education is often more focused on improving statistics than on genuinely forming critical and responsible citizens capable of reflecting on humanity’s needs. In this discussions aim to outline a path toward human development through a survey of methodologies that can support this process. We discuss these methodologies with a focus on basic education, a stage that, due to the nature of its approaches and the age group of learners, is considered foundational for developing knowledge and skills that prepare students for subsequent learning stages and for life as a whole. This article presents a survey of these methodologies and explores how they can be used to promote students’ human formation.
