Abstract

The book that we present in this issue of the magazine is a choral work, in which each chapter has been written by different Spanish teachers and educational experts. The common denominator of these authors is the search for methodologies that improve the teaching-learning processes in the classroom. As a starting point we find the need for a change in the current educational paradigm model, since it maintains educational structures from the 19th century, designed for circumstances that have changed significantly. The teachers who intervene as authors of the chapters show us new educational practices, from an eminently practical approach, that place the student at the centre of their own learning and that will allow the reader to implement them in their context in a clear and simple way. All this without ignoring the theoretical foundations that support these practices.
