The theory that I will use is humanistic. It was developed by Carl R Rogers (1902-1987) and Abraham Maslow (1908-1970), and it was used to study human problems, studying man and the complement of what already exists taking into account the conscience the ethics, the individuality and the spiritual values ​​of individuals This theory indicates that "meaningful and experiential learning is defined as the process that modifies the perception that individuals have of reality, and derives from the reorganization of the self" Carl Rogers (1980) indicates (cited in Abc Color 2003);        he conceives this theory as a psychology of "being" and not of "having" in a way that implies that he participates in a responsible way in that process formulating his problems, discovering the resources to overcome them or solve them, and assumes the consequences of his choices, achieving This way to reach the main conception "to be" achieving the attention of the differences and individual needs of the individuals achieving a process of formation and in turn are encounter of man with his being, his existentiality.

 As applied to my topic, this theory holds that I would expect my independent variable since this theory promotes the idea that students are different and it is important to help them to be themselves and less to others by promoting this approach a process is provided integral education where the development of knowledge, competences and at the same time values and ethical principles that lead to mutual recognition where good acting is promoted, well-founded principles are built where a conscious individual is built and trained, who recognizes the other like an equal but that looks for its own essence but that does not stop recognizing itself as a unique being keeping an active role and its educational process therefore Garcia. J (n.d) indicates "The human being is aware of himself and of his existence. It is driven according to what it was in the past and preparing for the future."

Stramiello (2005), today's humanistic education states that "it appears as a concern of our society that young people learn quickly what serves them in terms of future work to the detriment of knowledge that is supposed to be lost." Consideration of educational activity only in its factual utility makes it difficult for us to see the importance of human education in the human being, since education is not primarily a mechanical process from which certain products are obtained, but something offered to a freely and freely assumed being ". From these we can establish the need and importance of educating individuals with a clear vision of what they constitute in society and what constitutes the other; beyond the knowledge and skills acquired values, morals, principles are a very important factor to build a transverse process in the lives of students in a way that allows them to incorporate themselves into society and generate a significant change in their lives and in the one of the others

          Theoretical Perspective
The theory in which I want to participate is Social constructivism, it was developed by Russian psychologist Vygotsky who produced his ideas between 1924 and 1934, the ideas are used to identify the role of social interactions and culture in the development of higher order thinking skills, and it is especially valuable for the information it provides on the dynamic.

This theory indicates that higher mental functions: they are acquired and developed through social interaction.

“Every function in the child’s cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological)” (Vygotsky, 1978, p. 57).  It is through working with others on a variety of tasks that a learner adopts socially shared experiences and associated effects and acquires useful strategies and knowledge (Scott & Palincsar, 2013).

This theory is that the individual does not relate only directly to their environment, but also through and through interaction with other individuals.

As applied to my topic, this theory holds that I would expect my independent variable (s) to maintain that the individual is not directly related to their environment, but also through and through interaction with other individuals and is confirmed .the Dependent variable corresponds to writing: as a process of social construction whose purpose is the communication and transmission of thought .

The research submitted to four rigorous tests Piaget’s psychogenetic theory of the inherent relationship between spontaneous and scientific concepts as compared with Vygotsky’s theory of the socio-historical dynamics of empirical and scientific structures of thought (each test is described briefly for the present purpose). The hypothesis that the answers regarding the level of knowledge of the individuals vary according to the level of follow-up of instructions and their efficiency according to the levels of schooling it can show in qualitative data (through methods of observations, test  and conducting focus groups) and quantitative in (statistical data)

Understanding this theory can be put into practice in the real world i.e. in the classroom, if the teacher evaluates the students to detect their skills. At the same time, they can give instructions so that they can improve together with the group work so that those who are less prepared will increase and reach a high level.

Good evening dear partner 

Fermín Buitrago

This theory will only be valid in a real context to guarantee the conservation of certain forms of life and to guarantee that we have the necessary tools to adapt to them. in a social, family, cultural context in accordance with the interactions and changes that occur according to their lived experiences.

The theory that I will use is Interaction, it was developed by Homans in 1950 in this theory the author wanted to show the importance of the people interaction, activities and feelings  and also this theory indicates how they can develop some skill according with their feelings and the relation with other people since the idea was to observe that the interaction is not only help for the people, it was to help for develop other skills like achieve goal, solve problems, facilitate for coordinate and reduce the tension between the people.

This theory showed how the interaction could help to growing the people in different situation and how the interaction can influence in the different activities and they can change the feeling according with the activities and interaction, therefore the attitude of the people have an important role in the interaction for achieve the different goal, because the people can have an activity then the interaction between then is necessary for develop the activity and finish the same and finally the feeling help for results and for encourage the people to do the activity and achieve the goal. 

The theory has many facilities for solver some activities in the education as applied to my topic; this theory holds that I would expect my independent variable, the different feeling and interaction between the people in order to improve the relation between then but also to get a specific purpose in an activity that’s mean is that this theory is focused in how to do the activities influenced with the feeling and the interaction on the other hand the dependent variable is according with the interaction with other people since it can motivate themselves and help to build an activity or a goal, that’s mean that the depend variable is according with the teacher´s motivation and the student interaction with other people in order to improve and develop the skills in a second language.

The interaction generates a motivation among people, as far as their activities are concerned, since their feeling have an important role in the interaction because it helps for motivate the people and the feeling between the people can be spread in other to do the activity in a social interaction.

The humans are a social people therefore is necessary to develop the social skills in different situations, also because the people influence another people in order to get a target or to achieve a goal, since the feeling allow to the people develop different skills and activities, also because if the people have more activities to share, they can interactive more therefore the feelings are going to grow and they are going to have more experience in another situation.

It is important to recognize that the constructionism is an interaction in a context, is better to understand the constructionism in a dynamic activity, for example in my experience as a teacher a try to use the constructionism since allow to teach in a context, however I don’t forget the explanation, for example I explain vocabulary about shop and price in English, but we must understand that it is difficult to be a context, however the idea is to be near to the context and de activity can be to realize different shop and start to practice as if it were a real context, it allow to interact with their mates and understand the topic in a real context.

The theory that I will use is Pragmatism It was founded and developed by American philosophers Charles Pierce (1839–1914), William James (1842–1910) and John Dewey (1859–1952), and it was used to study American society facing the many problems it was confronting at the time. This theory indicates that an ideology is true only if it works (particularly in promoting equity, freedom and justice) and generates practical consequences for society. As applied to my topic, this theory holds that I would expect my independent variable(s) Age, Gender, Economic Strata, to influence or explain the dependent variable Reading. Dewey is its most well-known protagonist, due to his influence on pedagogical methods and educational systems (Sundin and Johannisson, 2006). Pragmatists are interested not on whether a proposition fits a particular ontology, but whether it suits a purpose and is capable of creating action, not only in theoretical aspects but in their application (Rorty, 1998). A belief is true if that belief shows some opportunities for better ways of democratic, purposeful living. Life must be impacted by the findings. Since the 1970s pragmatism has regained some of its popularity because of the insights it has provided for research into management and organizations and also because it is seen by some to provide an epistemological justification for mixing approaches and methods (Onwuegbuzie et al., 2009). While in pragmatist research, research paradigms can remain separate, they can also be mixed or combined into another research design. Hence, pragmatism views the mixing of quantitative (statistical data) and qualitative (human aspects involved) data in a single study not only as legitimate, but in some cases necessary.

Dear Angela:

I found your proposal very interesting and very ambitious. Taking into account that your variables are "the conscience the ethics, the individuality and the spiritual values ​​of individuals" I consider the task very hard and long, because every variable could be divided in different subtopics that - in certain way - are difficult to study. As a proposal for the future could be an interesting perspective, because of the important contributions that philosophy, psychology and other fields could get. However, as I said before, it would take so long.

Respectfully,

Fermín Buitrago

 

Dear Raquel:

"I would expect my independent variable (s) to maintain that the individual is not directly related to their environment, but also through and through interaction with other individuals and is confirmed" is the extract that sets me a little confused. I mean, Vygotsky talks about sociolinguistic aspects - that includes context - and your proposal tries to give another perspective that gets the subject far from that context, giving only importance to social interrelation but setting them apart from the context - or that's what I understand - which I consider, having in mind real experience, a very important cause of change. I would compare the different contexts - school, house, and barrio - to search for the reasons of influence on the subject in my near context, if you permit me the suggestion.

Respectfully,

Fermín Buitrago

 

Dear Shalom:

I don't know if I got the meaning of what you wanted to express. I understand that you want to study the relation between attitude during an activity, interrelation between people and the feeling they express to get their goals. But interrelation to get the activity results is repeated when talking about independent variable. I think it is a very interesting topic. Affective intelligence is very important, nowadays, in order to study limitations, weakness and disadvantages when being in search of excellence, and the research could help us looking for innovative solutions. However, it is important to clarify the independent variable to improve the true reason of your research.

Respectfully,

Fermín Buitrago

 

Dear Oscar:

If your independent variable is "behavior patterns of human beings at different ages and mental disorders" and the independent ones are "natural and social phenomena, strata, genders, places" as I understand, you could be more specific about the independent variable, so you can limit much more the objective of your research. It is, as well as the other proposals, a very interesting one. All these opportunities to improve our work as teachers are essential when being in front of a group - our responsibility - and facing heavy problems, as the ones we are experiencing in our society.

Respectfully,

Fermín Buitrago
