Pedagogical model and the teaching of the language and communication course in a Peruvian Amazon University

Abstract

We begin with the recognition of the problematic reality that affects the students of the language and communication course of a Peruvian Amazonian university. We proposed a pedagogical model to improve the teaching of the Language and Communication course at the National University of San Martín. We start from a mixed approach, first quantitative and then qualitative, under a non-experimental, cross-sectional research design with a descriptive-purposeful scope. For data collection we use the survey technique, with its questionnaire. According to the survey, the students were not under an adequate pedagogical model, on this we designed one for the language and communication course that had as its philosophical, pedagogical and linguistic foundation the historical materialism, the socio-cultural approach of Vygotsky, and the theory of the communication skills. Likewise, we propose three strategies: an administrative, a pedagogical and a curricular, each one corresponds to a series of general actions for its concrete realization. We conclude that the pedagogical model based on Vygotsky's socio-cultural approach to improve the teaching of the Language and Communication course is solidly based and structured and is a valid proposal to be implemented experimentally.
