Problem-based learning to promote philosophical reflection: In high school

The social utility of this research is to generate in high school students a genuine interest in philosophy through the analysis of contextualized philosophical problems, within the different topics that are addressed throughout the blocks or learning units in the subject. Therefore, it was intended, through this study, that students feel the classroom, where the philosophical subject is taught, as a space for critical reflection of their own universe from their own philosophical approaches. The methodological justification of the research was that the strategy of Problem Based Learning (PBL) was adapted, which is regularly used for the teaching of science, within the didactics of Social Sciences and Humanities, such as the philosophical area, so the main contribution of this inquiry was to build a state of knowledge so that other interested parties, researchers or teachers of the same subject, can find an experience where this strategy is implemented to this type of subjects.
