Abstract

Ramon Ferreiro Gravie, Elisabet Vizoso

At a historical moment in which educational institutions and teachers are rethinking their way of working as a consequence, among other factors, of the crisis created by the Covid-19 Pandemic, the authors propose the fulfillment of seven didactic functions that, according to their research, increase the probabilities of developmental learning as a viable way of working the “potential development zone” and with it the real educational attention, despite the form of organization of teaching: face-to-face, virtual, distance, through case study, problem solving, projects, etc. What essentially guarantees learning are the didactic functions of what the authors call the “ELI method”.
