ABSTRACT: The
scientific article presented here is intended to provide university teachers
the theoretical basis for their work in the classroom, considering three
principal theoretical learning paradigms: Behaviorism, cognitivism and
constructivism; and four particular theories that have been labeled like
constructivist (psychogenetic theory, meaningful learning theory, theory of
strategic learning and the historical-cultural theory). Thus, this theoretical
review provides guidelines to act in the university classroom that can lead to
the elimination of “teaching without learning”.
