El aprendizaje cooperativo en el modelo educativo escuela nueva: una herramienta para desarrollar la inteligencia interpersonal en niños de primaria de una sede rural del municipio Guatavita

Abstract

This research arises as a result of the process of reflection and analysis of problems observed in the rural educative Institute Gabriela Mistral, located in Guatavita - Cundinamarca, where a deficit in the development of interpersonal intelligence is observed, reflecting low empathy in children, lack of communication and some difficulties in solving and executing tasks that involve cooperation and group meetings. This conclusion is reached from an analysis of the population and the context to be intervened through direct observation which has been systematized in field diaries, and is supported by the application of tests and semi-structured interviews with the actors of the process. The existence of these tensions constitutes the need to inquire about strategies that can intervene positively in the detected problem, taking into account that it is also a rural context in which it is developed. That is why, according to the theoretical principles of the Escuela Nueva educational model and rural elementary education, the potentiation of cooperative learning is one of the ways proposed at the Gabriela Mistral rural school to overcome the limitations of interpersonal intelligence.
