DIAZ BARRIGA ARCEO, Frida. Aportaciones de las perspectivas constructivista y reflexiva en la formación docente en el bachillerato. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2002, vol.24, n.97-98, pp.6-25. ISSN 0185-2698.

Starting from the premise that the training of higher secondary education courses school teachers goes far beyond an isolated training in teaching methods and techniques, since it has to lead to a reflection upon the practice itself and to assume a position and a production attitude that makes feasible the generation of a comprehensive didactical knowledge, this article analyses some of the principles and guidelines related to the domain of the teachers' professional training and practices which derive from the constructivist and critical-reflexive postures. The governing ideas are the conception of teacher as a reflexive professional, the reappraisal of his labor as an intellectual of teaching and the assertion that the teacher has a very important mediation function between knowledge and the student's learning. The ground for this article consists in an educational research and teachers' training trial made with professors from the historical-sociological area from higher secondary education at the UNAM's Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades.
