In this perspective, the research based on a theoretical framework to the presented problems and the use of instruments designed with questions in the fields of planning, methodology and curriculum development, enabled information directions whose qualitative quantitative results showed the influence and participation of teachers in the teaching learning process, allowing to respond to the hypothesis. Consequently, in order to collaborate in the process of knowledge construction and the development of critical thinking, the results are considered for the design of a methodological proposal which includes the didactic strategies where the mediator of the process is the teacher, promoting in the students skills and strategies to direct their own learning and the performance of various academic activities in an autonomous way.
