Evolución y cartografía temática del aprendizaje significativo: un análisis estructural

Contenido principal del artículo

Juan David Luján-Villar

Resumen

La teoría del aprendizaje significativo gestada hace 65 años por D. Ausubel es una influyente corriente de ideas que mantienen relevancia en el mundo pedagógico actual. El presente estudio realizó una exploración cienciométrica de este campo a partir de un estudio bibliométrico basado en la exploración de (n=16439) documentos. A nivel metodológico se establecen redes conceptuales derivadas del campo y la evolución temática del aprendizaje significativo a partir de la aplicación de técnicas como agrupamiento por acoplamiento de documentos, mapa temático, grafos de los clústeres abordados, evolución temática a lo largo del tiempo, red conceptual de las temáticas centrales y sus indicadores algorítmicos y evolución de los temas tendencia del aprendizaje significativo. Los resultados presentan una serie de contenidos determinantes y actuales en el desarrollo de esta teoría y forma de aprendizaje, la importancia de la resolución de problemas de manera cooperativa o conjunta, el fomento del pensamiento crítico, el uso de tecnologías digitales disponibles y la aplicación de las innovaciones pedagógicas adecuadas a diversos contextos educativos. Se concluyó con la importancia de evaluar los logros y dificultades del aprendizaje significativo en tanto proceso y forma de aprendizaje.
