Abstract

LOPEZ ESPINOSA, Susana  and  WEISS, Eduardo. Una mirada diferente a las prácticas. Un taller de electrónica en el CONALEP. RMIE [online]. 2007, vol.12, n.35, pp.1329-1356. ISSN 1405-6666.

The article is based on the observation of practical work at an electronics workshop in a technological school at the high school level. It seeks to show -far from predominant views that consider practice as an application of theory or exercise of skills- that students (re)construct and appropriate technical knowledge through practice. While such appropriation passes through the ongoing solution of problems, through trial and error in the use of equipment, it is also supported by students’ dialogues with the teacher and with each other. To construct a different view of practice, the analysis is supported by theories of the new school, in addition to the most recent contributions of theories on situated learning and communities of practice.

Keywords : technical education; learning activities; educational practice; situated learning; Mexico.
