Throughout the history of education, many methodologies based on teaching approaches have
emerged. Constructivism (Piaget, 1971; Vygotsky, 1978; Dewey, 1902; Bruner, 1901), in its
pedagogical current, postulates the need to provide the student with new experiences that can overlap
with their previous knowledge, to create new schemata and learn new concepts or create new ideas
(Ajdini, 2021; Stapleton & Stefaniak, 2018). However, according to my personal experience during
the Master’s Degree internship period, a methodology based on memorisation and repetition of content
where the focus is on grammar is still widely used in learning environments (Bérešová, 2021;
Meneses, 2019). This type of instruction is known as the Traditional Methodology (Nie, 2011; Saira,
Zafar, Hafeez, 2021), which is currently starting to be adapted towards innovative strategies such as
Active Learning by, for example, using collaborative learning or the use of technology in the
classroom (Trahasch, 2004; Mashau & Nyawo, 2021). Active Learning is based on releasing the
teacher from the active role in the classroom, and letting students learn from experience (Brown, 2007;
Kahrhoff, 2006; Bonwell & Eison, 1991) which is a theory supported by several studies in the
pedagogical area (Hoellwarth & Moelter, 2011; Prince, 2004; among others). Despite this and the fact
that the current legislation in Spain, specifically in the Valencian Community governed by the
LOMLOE law (2020) and the curriculum established by the Document Pont of the Generalitat
Valenciana, support the Active Learning methodology, the reality within some Secondary Education
classrooms is far from implementing these strategies. Nowadays, some contents continue to be taught
through repetition, memorisation, and evaluation. In particular, according to the experience in my
internship period in the Secondary Education School Vicent Castell I Doménech, English as a Foreign
Language is currently being taught from a linguistic perspective, departing from lexical and
grammatical points, decontextualising the language and making the task of mastering the language
arduous (Heidari, 2011). For this reason, with the objective of a future implementation of Active
Learning strategies in the secondary education classroom in the subject of English as a Foreign
Language in Vicent Castell I Doménech, a proposal based on Active Learning strategies has been
elaborated. This pedagogical proposal is intended to create a Mediation Plan and is designed to be
implemented in the courses of the fourth level of Compulsory Secondary Education in IES Vicent
Castell I Doménech. Thereby, the present Final Master’s Dissertation) focuses on the contextualisation
and presentation of a Didactic Unit with these purposes. [-]
