ACOSTA NAVARRO, María Elena. CONTEMPORARY PEDAGOGICAL TRENDS: THE TRADITIONAL PEDAGOGY AND THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL APPROACH. A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2005, vol.42, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

The present article is aimed at identifying the essential conceptual aspects of the contemporary pedagogical trends and approaches, focussing the analysis on traditional pedagogy, as well as on a historical and cultural approach. A comparison was made between both currents based on fundamental aspects, such as the professor-student relationship, the methodology used in teaching, the evaluation of learning and the social repercussion of each of these currents.A review of the literature existing in our environment during the last decades was made. It allowed to establish the positive aspects, the limitations to trends, and the importance to go deep into this interesting topic.
