Design and evaluation of Significative Instrumental Mediators

Abstract

A methodological proposal for teaching and learning inspired on concept of mediated learning is presented, based on Vigostky and Feuerstein principles. This proposal rescues the concept of instrumental mediator, giving it a new perspective, which usage focuses on the intervention of written and / or graphed texts to generate meaningful learning that contains the basic principles of a mediated learning according to Feuerstein. A procedure with examples for its application with students, as well as procedures on how to evaluate it through a rubric are presented. This proposal can be developed in any field of formal or semi-formal education, although most of the work has been done with high school and university students.
