ORGANIZATION OF CONTENTS
For practical reasons; It is necessary that the basic topics are separated and analyzed continuously. In this workshop the thematic fields are organized in two blocks: New Technologies that are used in Primary Education, The importance of the game in Primary Education using the new technologies.
In Block I, “New Technologies used in Primary Education”, pretends that the student comprehends the importance of the use of new technologies, besides they know different software programs for the English Teaching and the teaching of Primary subjects for the articulation of the levels of Basic Education.
The main purpose of this block is that the teachers´ staff knows the TIC used in the education, and the use of software and web pages for the development of interactive classes with the primary children.
TEACHING GUIDELINES
The didactic orientations seek to offer the teachers and students different options to organize the work and take advantage of the materials that support it, that is why they are proposed some orientations of the workshop:
The checking of the theorical elements that form part of this course which has as a goal that the students learn to use them like tools to analyze the reality, to contrast and appreciate different focuses, and to make critical judges. This vision is different in comparison with the study of the theory itself with the only purpose to accumulate information.
Nevertheless, it is recommended to look for suitable strategies to give the students the interest to explore and comprehend different explanations to explain the reality, getting close to different information sources like the web pages, the same ones that are pointed and found in the complementary bibliography that will contribute to analysis of situations and resolution of problems.
It is important to considerate the previous ideas of the students like a resource in different moments of the course. However, we need to have in mind that these ones should evolution through the elaboration of concepts and the comprehension of processes that are object of this workshop. To find out the previous concepts, it is not enough to plan questions to the group when we begin a topic: It is necessary to look for different strategies like: the use of a questionnaire, schemes elaboration, between others, that can be instruments to appreciate the obtained advancements.
The compressive reading, the interpretation of the information and the justified discussion
are intellectual abilities that are accomplished only if an individual work is done previously.
For this reason, it is important to emphasize in permanent way the reading of texts, the synthesis elaboration, brief essays, and different information registers, that are going to be used by the students to express their ideas, points of view and conclusions that work as a support for the collective work.
The development of scholastic projects in Spanish, Math and Science subjects are a methodological strategy where the students use their obtained learning to plan, add, present and evaluate activities that are encouraged to make new ideas and create disquiets, to learn concepts, to develop abilities, and to get strong aptitudes. In the concept of final project of each scholastic grade is important the articulation of the thematic edges, of each course in correspondence with a conceptual, procedure and aptitude progressive development.
The teamwork results productive if the tasks are organized with a common referral that allows adding elements for the analysis and the discussion. For example, if it talks about teaching a class in primary level, the students of the English specialty major will look for different methodologies, taking into account the use of new technologies and educational software for the teaching of this language.
It is important to consult the web pages to know the different disciplinary focuses about the development of new technologies which are used in education. In this way, it encourages the comparison, contrast and integration of points of view that the authors offer.
The steady reflexion of teaching practices about the development principles and the reasons of the children in a formative activity that lets the students make questions and hypothesis, and it conforms an approximation to the forms that the research work is done.
EVALUATION
It is recommended to guide the formative evaluation process, according to the purposes of the workshop, the thematic content, paying attention to the continuity, systematic, and flexibility principles.
The professor will be the person who decides the moments, criteria, instruments and pertinent and appropriate activities for its making.
Coming up, They are proposed some suggestions that can guide the evaluation process during the course:
Elaboration of own explanations about the concepts that are analyzed, since the studied texts in the web pages.
Organization of the ideas to present them in ordered form when we redact, expose a topic
or register the obtained information in the made observations.
Elaboration of explanations about the factors that are involved in the development of new
information technologies that are checked and obtained.
Systematization of the information to ask, plan problems and identify the challenges for the teacher, in order to know the knowledge of the children.
