RODRIGUEZ-GARCIA, Alejandro  and  ARIAS-GAGO, Ana Rosa. Review of methodological proposals: a categorical grouping taxonomy. Alteridad [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.2, pp.146-160. ISSN 1390-8642.  https://doi.org/10.17163/alt.v15n2.2020.01.

Currently, there is no taxonomy linked to the methodology that groups different methodological elements based on both their active and instructive nature and the educational stage where they are best suited in terms of use. Hence, the objective of this research was to establish a taxonomy taking into account 76 resources, strategies, techniques and teaching methods obtained after a review of the main national and international literature. In order to establish the taxonomy, the EVEMDT scale was developed and validated through the expert judgment procedure. The EVEMDT scale was administered to a panel of 30 experts who attended a training seminar conducted by the researchers, to assess both the instructive or active nature and the 76 methodological elements adaptation to the educational stage. Results shows a taxonomy composed of 25 and 51 didactic resources, didactic strategies, didactic techniques and didactic methods respectively, also classified according to the educational stage where they are best suited in terms of use. It was concluded that taxonomies to compare the results are reduced, so that this taxonomy could be a reference for teachers when deciding what resources, strategies, techniques and teaching methods to use depending both the students´ educational stage and the role they want to give them in their learning processes.
