Critical Dialogical Tertulia: a methodological proposal to promote critical thinking and social transformation

Abstract

In this article, we present an experience of critical dialogic tertulia as an opportunity to learn to look at things from another perspective, promoting the collective construction of knowledge and theoretical investigation based on contextualised knowledge. In the tertulia, people meet to talk about a specific topic, and through dialogue and active listening different contributions are shared, generating an enriching exchange that allows a deeper understanding of the topic of discussion, in some cases there are revision of their positions, change and self-change, promoting the construction of shared knowledge and the negotiation of new meanings, which can all have an impact on our way of acting in the world. Activating the critical thinking that implies a permanent critical approach to reality.
