Resumen

Durante dos años, trabajamos con profesores de colegios públicos en el programa PROFILE de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, apoyándolos en el desarrollo de conocimiento teórico y práctico que les permitiera implementar metodologías del aprendizaje cooperativo. A través de entrevistas, reportes y encuestas reunimos sus voces mientras participaban en este programa de desarrollo profesional para docentes. Los datos recolectados nos mostraron cómo estos profesores de inglés como lengua extranjera percibieron el trabajo y las actitudes de sus estudiantes hacia el aprendizaje cooperativo en los colegios públicos. Nuestros hallazgos informan como los estudiantes crecieron a nivel personal y grupal y como asumieron el aprendizaje del inglés al involucrarse en esta metodología.
