Fortaleciendo la enseñanza de la Filosofía: El Cine Foro como estrategia didáctica en el bachillerato General Unificado

Abstract

This thesis proposes the integration of the Cine Foro (Film Forum) as a didactic strategy to strengthen the teaching of Philosophy in the “Bachillerato General Unificado” (BGU) of the Ecuadorian educational system. Based on a theoretical foundation grounded in the constructivist approach and active methodologies, it analyzes how cinema, through critical and collective reflection, can become an effective resource to energize the teaching-learning process, stimulate philosophical thinking, and foster argumentation and interpretation. This study identifies the challenges and limitations involved in implementing the Cine Foro, such as curricular rigidity, academic prejudices, and infrastructural shortcomings, and it proposes concrete pedagogical alternatives for its application. Finally, a methodological proposal is designed, structured through preparatory activities, film screenings, discussion forums, reflective evaluations, and impact monitoring, demonstrating that the Cine Foro enables comprehensive, ethical, critical, and deeply meaningful learning in the field of Philosophy.
