[eng] The European society is living in a period of transition to become a new one. It's obvious that lifestyles are changing and developing at the same time due to the new waves of technological innovations, for example. During the end of twentieth century all these changes have had repercussions for our educational and formation systems. Because of that, teachers have to choose the right educational methodology and use it to improve pupil's development (skills, abilities, aptitudes...) and try to meet their needs. I made myself questions to do my exposition. These are some of them: what is an educational methodology?; which is the influence of the methodology in the teaching-learning process? ; what sort of methodologies can the teaching staff choose in their educational institutions?; which of them have being used in Mallorca?. Finally I only want to say I have tried to answer these questions in my writing and I'm very interested to contribute educational ideas to develop new methodologies in Catalonian language area.
