The learning-centered approach implies a new way of thinking and developing training and

professional practice carried out by a teacher. It questions the paradigm centered on repetitive teaching,

of transmissive-receptive cut that prioritizes the acquisition of declarative, inert, and

decontextualized. This proposal has as its main reference the constructivist conception and

sociocultural learning and teaching, according to which learning consists of an active and

conscious that its purpose is the construction of meanings and the attribution of meaning to the contents

and experiences on the part of the learner.

This approach consists of an intellectual act but at the same time social, affective, and interaction within a

community of sociocultural practices. The learning process takes place thanks to the actions of

pedagogical mediation that involve a coordinated activity of intention-action-reflection between the

students and the teacher, around a diversity of objects of knowledge and with the intervention of

certain languages ​​and instruments. Furthermore, it occurs in specific socio-cultural and historical contexts,

from which it cannot be abstracted, that is, it has a situated character.
