Pyramidal Education: a collaborative learning style to support teaching in any area of knowledge.

Abstract

There is a diversity of documentation that describes the stages through which solutions related to software engineering can be solved. In this investigation, the "up-down" technique is used, in which the conceptual basis for testing the use of this methodology is proposed, which is pursued in the specialized design of the solution to a problem.The “causal formal model” is described and it is applied in the pyramid education model through the use of an e-learning platform. Aware of the technical concerns in some of the educational systems of Latin America and making use of the "up-down" methodology, a proposal called Pyramidal Education is presented, through which it seeks to support the teaching-learning process in any area of knowledge; Under this approach, the teaching and teaching roles coexist in a collaborative environment.The Pyramidal Education model proposes teaching and learning content in any field of science, making use of collaborative learning and helping an e-learning type platform; in which the creation of knowledge is carried out in a hierarchical way. Pyramidal education can be used in a formal or informal system in which each of the participants with Internet access can use the platform, from any place and time they deem appropriate.The proposal is low-cost, mainly because it relies on collaboration and coexistence of roles in the participants, which does not incur teacher fees and does not require high costs in the use of technological infrastructure given that the platform to use is open source, no license is paid. Pyramidal education seeks to satisfy the needs of students through virtual tutoring, due to the benefit obtained by considering various factors such as time, place, distance, which allows impacting the training process, in addition to the advantages that the teachers and students have the coexistence of roles and that learning is collaborative.
