Conceptual categories for the study of the joint construction of knowledge in the classroom

Abstract

The following paper presents some theoretical guidelines from which conceptual categories have been developed to study the joint construction of knowledge in the classroom. The approach to this subject of study is developed using discursive, psychological and educational reference points. The constructed categories are: the subject is active or constructor of his own knowledge, the psyche is mediated, the teaching and learning process is characterized as communicational, social and situated; and discursive modes are understood as the exchange used by the actors of the teaching and learning process when they exchange meanings. The pertinence of how to conceive a combination of different theoretical contributions will be discussed as a final reflection.
