Las maletas viajeras: significado y construcción del aprendizaje experiencial

The present document is the result of the reflections done by the experiential learning research group of the Spanish and English teaching program. A group of travelling suitcases for Spanish and English learning underlie this research. This inquiry project was done with kids from 1st to 5th grade from two public elementary schools in Girardot, Cundinamarca, Colombia. Its goal is to reflect about the importance of the mediations and intentions needed for the design and implementation of a didactic and pedagogic material in Spanish and English which appropriates, contextualizes experiential learning, representing the self-construction experience. Conceptual and valuation tools are complemented with regard to the possibility of designing and addressing knowledge contents both in Spanish and English by exploring didactic and pedagogic material along with kids’ senses, successes, mistakes and discoveries. In accordance with the above, the research work presents a theoretical framework interwoven with concepts such as the didactics (Zambrano, 2005), the experiential learning and learning environments (Beard & Wilson, 2006), the research as pedagogic strategy (Mejía y Manjarrez, 2009), playing as learning tool (Benítez, 2009), reflections of Montessori’s approaches and didactics (Silva et al., 2003). The above research categories sustain the participatory action research tracing the educational actions and intentions of the design of the teaching / educational material. Finally, the writing reflects about the possibility of generating transformations of the pedagogical practice as well as the learning process based on the experiences children have. Some final insights with findings regarding the use of the material in educational settings is presented.
