Abstract

This article aims to identify the stages of project-based learning (PBL) related to socio-emotional development, through a project proposal for high school students, considering the new curricular bases established by the Ministry of Education of Chile. To do this, different dimensions of socio-emotional learning, the PBL methodology and its projections in the Chilean educational system are analyzed. The above is accompanied by a didactic proposal based on the development of activities under the PBL methodology, aimed at students of 3rd and 4th year of secondary education, considering natural science subjects. The new curricular bases, in transition during 2020, provide ideal spaces to develop not only content, but also train students in a comprehensive way, from the cognitive, social and emotional aspects.
