Resumen El trabajo expone una revision de los fundamentos esenciales de una propuesta denominada Didactica Desarrolladora, elaborada por docentes e investigadores cubanos en las dos ultimas decadas del pasado siglo (SILVESTRE, 1985; SANTOS,1989; MIEDES, SANTOS; ZILBERSTEIN, 1992; SILVESTRE et al., 1993; SILVESTRE;1999; ZILBERSTEIN, 1997, 2000, 2003b; ZILBERSTEIN; PORTELA;MCPHERSON, 1999; SILVESTRE; ZILBERSTEIN 2000a, 2000b, 2002; LEAL,2000; RICO; SANTOS; MARTIN-VIANA, 2001; CASTELLANOS et al., 2001;JARDINOT, 2002; ZILBERSTEIN et al., 2003, ZILBERSTEIN, 2005), que permitiosentar las bases teorico-practicas para promover en la educacion escolarizada, un aprendizaje que se centre en favorecer en los estudiantes la formacion de solidos conocimientos, habilidades, actitudes y valores, teniendo en cuenta el contexto historico-social y cultural en que estos se desarrollan, constructo que dio origen al desarrollo de diferentes investigaciones en Cuba y otros paises.

(Union de Republicas Socialistas Sovieticas) y en la R.D.A. (Republica Democratica Alemana), recreandolos y enriqueciendolos desde posiciones Latinoamericanas.
