Learning situation (FINAL)

-

Today we settled the justification and the learning situation of our didactic unit:

Life on our planet is a didactic unit through which children must be able to identify and internalize the different elements that make up ecosystems, their characteristics, the animals that constitute it and its main characteristics, fauna and flora, the role of the human being in the ecosystem, etc. On the other hand, we will also work on the basic needs of living beings and the difference between living and inert objects.

This didactic unit will have a duration of seven hours, 1 hour per lesson, we will work the contents previously proposed with activities and didactic material to get the objectives and ensure that students develop the skills and abilities at the end of the didactic unit. 

Referring to evaluation, will be carried out progressively through observation and instruments that will allow monitoring of student learning.  

This is the justification of our didactic unit:



METHODOLOGY

Heuristic Method: Discovery learning

The objective of placing our students in the European Commission is given by the basic principles of this methodology that we have chosen, it is based on the fact that the children find that there is a problem and have to reason, seek information and propose solutions. Thanks to this, it helps us as teachers to facilitate the class sessions and, above all, the students so that they can situate themselves in it, not having to meet in a strange and abstract situation.

Discovery learning is also a heuristic method by which students engage in problem solving to develop their knowledge or skills. With discovery, the learning must be planned, it must be supervised and it must follow the scientific method of research.

Discovery learning can take place at each of the three levels of problem solving . At Level 1, discovery learning is carefully structured (guided discovery); at Level 2, a moderate amount of guidance is administered (modified discovery); and at Level 3, students’ problem-solving activities are very casually supervised (open discovery).

DIARY DAY 12

 In today's meeting we have remade the session nuember six and seven.  In the session number 6, we have expanded the information as we have been doing for the past ones. We have added the message of the European Comission too so that children can understand better the purpose of the activity. Besides, we have add an image of the map the kids will need to follow in order to reach the QR and a rubric for further evaluation.  In session number 7, we have enhanced the class similarly to the previous session. We included instructions on how to operate the Bee-Boots, along with additional messages and information. We have also incorporated a final detail, which involves presenting children with a diploma to formally conclude the learning situation. We have also changed the design of the blog since the one we first put up seemed very disorganized. However, we like the one we have finally left better. On the other hand, in addition to the above, we have started to look for the sp...
