2.5. Intervention Programme prior to TPSR The sessions implemented in the different school subjects prior to TPSR application focused on concept development, leaving critical thinking, reflection and idea confrontation about social aspects aside [46]. Teachers focused on developing the scientific aspect of every subject [47], becoming the centre of the learning process and the ones to make decisions [48]. In the case of languages, they restricted themselves to explaining the grammar rules trying to make students learn them in a very theoretical manner and through analytic exercises, leaving aside aspects like extralinguistic factors, which foster learning [49]. In summary, the teaching strategies treated the student as a mere recipient and did not address any aspect of the academic contents apart from the purely cognitive ones.
