Abstract

The purpose of this research was to generate theoretical principles for a constructivist educational praxis as a generator of meaningful learning of mathematics in elementary school students. The methodology, framed in the interpretative paradigm and with a qualitative approach, was carried out through the application of the phenomenological method. The key informants were seven 5th grade mathematics teachers and fourteen of their students. The in-depth interview technique was used to collect the information based on a script of questions. The interviews were transcribed, codified, categorized and triangulated to respond to the research purpose. As a result, a conceptualization of the theoretical principles for a constructivist educational praxis that generates meaningful learning in the area of mathematics was obtained. It is considered that the teacher's reflection is the starting point to advance towards an effective constructivist educational praxis for the teaching of mathematics.
