Abstract

This article explores the theoretical and philosophical foundations of the lesson as the core of teaching activity and highlights the need to overcome the hierarchical distinction between traditional and digital lessons, seeking a balance that effectively combines classical and modern approaches to teaching. Through an examination that ranges from Develay’s didactic triangle to Popper and Gadamer’s hermeneutics, the article proposes viewing the lesson as a dynamic and open system, capable of being adapted and transformed to match the needs of both physical and digital learning contexts. Thus, the lesson becomes a "labyrinth" of interactions that allow the teacher to exercise didactic mediation, going beyond the limitations of a unidirectional transmission of knowledge.

Este artículo explora los fundamentos teóricos y filosóficos de la lección como núcleo de la actividad docente y pone de relieve la necesidad de superar la distinción jerárquica entre las lecciones tradicionales y las digitales, buscando un equilibrio que combine eficazmente los enfoques clásicos y modernos de la enseñanza. A través de un recorrido que va desde el triángulo didáctico deDevelay hasta la hermenéutica de Popper y Gadamer, el artículo propone concebir la lección como un sistema dinámico y abierto, capaz de adaptarse y transformarse para responder a las necesidades tanto de los contextos de aprendizaje presenciales como de los digitales. De este modo, la lección se convierte en un «laberinto» de interacciones que permite al docente ejercer la mediación didáctica, superando las limitaciones de una transmisión unidireccional del conocimiento.
