| ===== Description of the project ===== | ===== Description of the project ===== | ||
| + | The inspirational idea for this project comes from the reading of an essay of the University of Leeds, | ||
| + | Sustainability Research Institute about Critical and Reflective thinking | ||
| + | ( [[http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0013/6304/Critical-and-Reflective-Thinking.pdf]]). | ||
| + | This reading lets us think and consider the importance of reflection in every aspect of life. | ||
| + | From this starting point, we did some researches about the beneficial effects of reflecting in the | ||
| + | process of learning and teaching. | ||
| + | Reflection is important for teachers because it makes teachers aware of what they are doing and how | ||
| + | they teach. | ||
| + | According to Henderson (1996) “reflective thinking has an important place in education system, as a | ||
| + | questioning method that features caring others’ feelings and pays attention to constructivism in | ||
| + | learning and as a whole of creative problem solving activities” (cited in Poyraz and Usta, 2013). | ||
| + | "Reflection is a beneficial practice to support professional development of teacher and their efforts to | ||
| + | improve student learning "(Fendler, 2003; Hoffman, Artiles and Lopez, 2003). | ||
| + | Due to these reasons, reflection has become a key strategy in the teaching/learning process in this | ||
| + | project. | ||
| + | Reflective teaching is a process where teachers think over their teaching practices, and kind of | ||
| + | lessons, analyzing how something is taught and how the practice might be improved or changed for | ||
| + | better learning outcomes. Some points of consideration in the reflection process might be what is | ||
| + | currently being done, why it's being done and how well students are learning ( what/why/how). You | ||
| + | can use reflection as a way to simply learn more about your own practice, improve a certain practice | ||
| + | ( for example, small groups, peer observation and cooperative learning ) or to focus on a problem | ||
| + | students are having. | ||
| + | Reflective teaching therefore implies a more systematic process of collecting, recording and | ||
| + | analysing our thoughts and observations, as well as those of our students, through the use of ICT | ||
| + | tools and then going on to making changes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== About methodologies ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | We really believe that the project will involve pupils in their learning process and helps them to become more open minded and innovative throught digital methodologies in 4 subjects, 2 humanistic History and English, and 2 scientific, ICT and Science. | ||
| + | Teachers and students will collaborate to select different methodologies to apply such as: flip teaching, CLIL, cooperative learning, IT time line, debate, formative assessment, google/moodle classroom, learning by doing, project work, constructivism method, etc. | ||
