Resumen
The research consisted of selecting two different schools. The two of them
recognized as one Private and Subsidized; both located in Santiago the Chile.
This study was looking forward to gather information and results of the
implementation of a methodology called "Student-Centered Approach." This
approach has been used for severa! developed countries to achieve excellence
in education and that is why the objective of this study was to prove the
possibility and non-possibility of inserting it into the Chilean educational system.
Two eighth grades-with a quantity of students not less than fifteen nor
exceeding- thirty-were divided into halfs. These eighth graders took different
roles; the group in charge of the teacher hired by the school was called the
control group while the group in charge of the researchers involved was the
experimental group that were the ones that yield final results. lt should be noted
that the intervention lasted one month in which, four interventions were applied.
One intervention per week and immediately comments and results were
extracted. lt should be highlighted, that a pre-test was applied before the
experiment started. At the end of the student's month intervention, a post-test
was-done to validate the effectiveness of this new methodology which turned out
to be positively. The students also answered an anonymous questionnaire in
which they were able to comment on the experience they had during the thirty
one days. lt needs to be remarked that this questionnaire was done only to the
experimental group.
