From the standpoint of historical and cultural references, the article insists on the need to dismantle the traditional culture of universities, and to develop intersubjective practices based on respect, symmetry in relationships, affectivity, and collaboration. The feasibility of groups as a foundation for this change in educational institutions is debated. Finally, these proposals, developed from social psychology, are linked to the collaborative learning model.

En el artículo se fundamentan propuestas, provenientes de la experiencia docente y la investigación, sobre modos de relación de naturaleza emancipatoria entre profesores y estudiantes sustentados en el uso de prácticas relacionales y comunicativas grupales y colaborativas. Desde referentes histórico-culturales, se argumenta la necesidad de quebrar la cultura tradicional de las universidades; y desarrollar prácticas intersubjetivas con base en el respeto, la simetría en las relaciones, la afectividad y la colaboración. Se argumenta la factibilidad de los grupos como base para este cambio en las instituciones educativas. Por último, se vinculan estas propuestas, desarrolladas desde la psicología social, con el modelo de aprendizaje colaborativo.
