Didactics of Philosophy: a proposal for its teaching in high school

Abstract

This work raises a series of reflections on the importance of teaching Philosophy in the instructional processes of Middle Level Education through the design of a didactic proposal. The objective is to offer philosophy teachers tools to help encourage critical and reflective thinking in students, the ability to structure arguments, the capacity to relate to the things that surround them, as well as the opportunity to build a global and integral vision of their social reality through philosophical knowledge. Said proposal for educational innovation, carried out from the action-research approach, places emphasis on those resources that contribute to improve the teaching of philosophy in a Technical High School. What is submitted is the data obtained thanks to the diagnostic instruments applied to the various educational actors of that institution (teachers, directors and students), as well as the design of a Didactic Proposal that was carried out in two classrooms with groups that studied the philosophy learning unit during the January-June 2019 school period.
