Abstract

Cognitive Acceleration programs have been successful in promoting reasoning skills in school students and in changing the pedagogy of the in-service teachers applying them. The novelty of this study is that it implemented, for the first time, that socio-constructivist approach with prospective teachers. The results suggest that the cognitive acceleration course promoted positive changes in their attitudes about teaching and learning in general and mathematics in particular.Los programas de Aceleración Cognitiva (AC) han logrado promover exitosamente el desarrollo de habilidades de razonamiento en estudiantes escolares y, al mismo tiempo, han cambiado las prácticas pedagógicas de los profesores en ejercicio que han implementado dichos programas en sus aulas. El aporte de este estudio es que utilizó por primera vez este enfoque socio-constructivista de enseñanza con futuros profesores durante su proceso de formación inicial docente. Los resultados encontrados sugieren que el programa de aceleración cognitiva impulsó cambios positivos en las actitudes de los participantes sobre el aprendizaje y la enseñanza en general y sobre las matemáticas en particular.
