El aprendizaje dialógico y sus aportaciones a la teoría de la educación

Abstract

This article highlights the contributions of the dialogic learning approach to
educational theory, with the aim of providing some orientations in order to promote
egalitarian and scientific educational practice. The seven principles of dialogic learning
are discussed, along with other reproductionist theories and practices from the educational
field, demonstrating how the former both surpass the latter. The article also reflects
open dialogue with the critical theories of education which the dialogic learning
theory is based on. These basic theories are, on the one hand, by authors who are distant
in time but very close in their educational approach, such as Ferrer i Guàrdia, Vygotsky,
or Paulo Freire, and, on the other hand, by other contemporary authors in critical pedagogy.
Each of the seven principles presented are provided along with a critical examination
of a specific educational practice. The consequences of the implementation of dialogic
learning are underlined here through an analysis of innovative and critical educational
projects which are academically successful.
