ABSTRACT:
Overcoming school learning difficulties was explained by a theoretical model developed within the scope of Fernando González Rey’s theory of subjectivity, which was not based on research in the context of teaching and learning in science. Another theoretical model was developed by Spanish constructivists Juan Ignácio Pozo and Miguel Ángel Gómez Crespo in order to explain the overcoming of learning difficulties in science, but without taking into account the subjective dimension of learning. In this article, we present both theoretical models. Although it is not possible to juxtapose the two of them, we derive implications from constructivism for the study of the operational dimension of overcoming learning difficulties, which, integrated to the subjective dimension, will compose our initial theoretical model. We aim to set up, through researches, an extension of the subjectivity theory model.
