Abstract

This work aims to analyze and explain the didactic strategies used to achieve meaningful learning. It begins under the assumption that meaningful learning is created if students are given freedom and confidence; they can find their answers and develop their knowledge, both in the classroom and in practical life. The method used is the analytical-descriptive one of the reviews of the literature of the main authors who have given rise to this approach, its elements, and the didactic strategies used. It is concluded that the design and implementation of didactic strategies focused on meaningful learning with the application of active didactic methodologies and strategies in meaningful learning processes depending on the context in which it takes place, obtains better results in the training of professionals.

Conceptualization

Meaningful learning is a strategy for the implementation of teaching-learning processes based on the reality of practice that promotes student autonomy to achieve the highest learning and retention possible. Quality education implies prioritizing and understanding and use of new learning content (Galdames, Walqui & Gustafson, 2011). Knowledge and experiences that are identified and related to community activities such as actions, images and use of objects that help to develop meanings and concepts, contribute to generating significant learning (Julca, 2000).
