Meaningful learning in the university context
Keywords:
learning, meaningful learning, teaching, teaching-learning processAbstract
The research presented here was conducted during the 2023-2024 academic year with students from the University of Guantánamo. Its objective is to propose teaching strategies that promote meaningful learning for students of the Bachelor of Education in Biology in the teaching-learning process of the General Didactics subject. Theoretical and empirical research methods were used, which allowed for its direction and analysis. The research demonstrated the need to promote this type of learning due to its usefulness and durability. As a result of the theoretical systematization and diagnosis, a proposal for teaching strategies was designed to promote meaningful learning in the General Didactics subject. The results were validated through methodological triangulation between the following methods: a socialization workshop, a survey, and pedagogical experience, which allowed us to demonstrate the relevance and feasibility of the proposal.
