The teacher and learning communities

Abstract

Introduction: Collaborative learning allows the development of skills such as communication, expression, understanding and critical thinking; However, it has been observed that teachers do not participate in activities of this type and that individualism and traditional methods prevail.

Objective: Identify characteristics of the teacher and the learning communities to promote teamwork in the Educational Unit located in the Eloy Alfaro parish, Latacunga canton in the period 2022.

Method: We worked under the qualitative paradigm through the stages: preparatory, field work, analytical and informative with inductive method. The technique used was the interview with an interview guide instrument and the intentional and representative population.

Result: Teachers need to improve teamwork and be constantly updated to strengthen their professional skills. Therefore, this research contributes to the development of teachers to respond to the changes that education requires with a vision of continuous training to work as a team.

Conclusion: Learning communities allow teachers to more easily face the challenges derived from the new needs for professional skills that respond to the necessary changes in teaching-learning.
