Resumen
El mundo actual exige la preparación y formación de seres humanos capaces de
transformar positiva y significativamente a la sociedad, al ser esto posible sólo
cuando se es consciente y se comprende a plenitud la complejidad de las relaciones
humanas y su condición frente a la conservación del ambiente. Bajo esta
perspectiva, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo proponer una nueva
metodología para el aprendizaje de la Macroeconomía que desarrolle la
metacognición en los futuros economistas a través de un marco conceptual
inspirado en la comprensión. El diseño y desarrollo de un metacurrículo se hace
evidente y necesario cuando se trabaja con miras a estimular un aprendizaje para la
aprehensión, comprensión y utilización del conocimiento por y para el ser humano.
Se aprecia por tanto, tres variables directrices para la investigación enfocadas en el
desarrollo de una “Pedagogía de la Comprensión” para el aprendizaje de
Macroeconomía con base en el rediseño del microcurrículo y establecer las pautas
pertinentes para que los docentes manejen y trabajen en dicho marco conceptual a
través del diseño de una guía metodológica. Se cuenta con el apoyo de una
población determinada y específica de donde se obtuvo una muestra de 75
estudiantes que cursan la disciplina de Macroeconomía y 12 docentes que la dictan.
Con el fin de recoger la información se pretende validar dos instrumentos que se
utilizarán para encuestar tanto a los estudiantes como a los docentes, así como otro
instrumento que servirá para evaluar el microcurrículo de la asignatura. Se espera
aportar al final con una propuesta de rediseño de dicho microcurrículo basado en
un trabajo para la comprensión. Los beneficiarios directos serán los estudiantes
actuales y futuros que cursan la Carrera de Economía y los beneficiarios indirectos
son los miembros de la sociedad al tener profesionales altamente competentes.
Our current world demands preparation and formation of human beings, able to transform society positively and meanfully. This can only be done when people become conscientious and they fully understand the complexity of human relations and their condition in the conservation of our environment. Under this perspective, the current project has as its main aim to propose a new methodology for the learning of Macroeconomics, developing the metacognition in future economics by means of a conceptual frame based on comprehension. The design and development of a metacurriculum is evident and necessary when working with the aim to stimulating the learning for apprehension, comprehension and usage of knowledge by and for the human being. Therefore, it is clearly visible the existence of three guiding variables for research focused on the development of a “Pedagogy for Comprehension” for the learning of Macroeconomics based on the redesigning of the microcurriculum in order to establish the pertinent guidelines so that teacher can handle and work in that conceptual frame by means of the design of a methodological guideline. We count on the support of a determined and specific population from whom we obtained a sample of 75 students who are studying Macroeconomics and 12 professor who teach that subject. With the sole objective of gathering some information, we pretend to validate two tools which are used to survey students as well as professors and we also pretend to validate a third tool which will be used to evaluate the microcurriculum of the subject. We expect to provide, at the end, a redesign proposal of such a microcurriculum based on a task for the comprehension. The direct beneficiaries will be current and future students who study Economics and the indirect beneficiaries are the members of our society by having highly competent professionals.
