Project based learning in rural Educational Contexts and poor areas in Pre-School Education.

Abstract

In this paper we present some of the effects of an educational innovation project called Gomer Llaccta (Green village): "The magic of recycling" on 92 children of pre-school education from a rural school situated in a poor area in the north of Peru. It is part of an investigation in which the implications of the project were analyzed in the four dimensions of the study: psychological, pedagogical, educational and social. The design of a integrated teaching unit and the use of a project-based learning method with the strategy of teaching-learning by reasoned action were used to prove how they can influence how children participate in changing the role of the teachers, in the innovation towards a new model of knowledge construction.
