Original Story

El alumnado de la asignatura Didáctica de la Expresión Musical en Infantil de primer curso del Grado de Educación Infantil que se imparte en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación (Universidad de Córdoba) ha venido realizando durante los cursos 2010-2011/2016-2017 un trabajo interdisciplinar con un peso específico significativo dentro del sistema de evaluación. El cuento musicado, es decir, la simbiosis entre sonido, palabra y movimiento consiste en la dramatización de una historia original de libre elección como recurso para llevar a cabo una acción comunicativa. Gracias a ello, durante todo este tiempo han sido más de ochenta los trabajos grupales presentados por el alumnado, todos de contenido diverso. Partiendo de un estudio de tipo cuantitativo de las distintas temáticas propuestas, se pretende valorar en estos trabajos grupales hasta qué punto se han tenido en cuenta los principios de sostenibilidad, ya sean de carácter social, económico o medioambiental, y, por lo tanto, si existe una clara concienciación por parte del alumnado recién ingresado en la Universidad sobre la necesidad de un desarrollo curricular sostenible y, en caso afirmativo, cómo entienden el mismo. Asimismo, como propuesta de buenas prácticas, se describirá a modo de ejemplo una experiencia de cuento musicado en la que se ha tenido en cuenta la sostenibilidad curricular. Esta actividad fue realizada en el Centro de Formación del Profesorado “Luisa Revuelta” de Córdoba con docentes participantes de todos los niveles y especialidades como proyecto de innovación educativa.ABSTRACTFrom the school years of 2010-2011 to 2016-2017, students enrolled on the subject Didáctica de la Expresión Musical en Infantil taught in the first year of the degree on Early Childhood Education (Córdoba University) have been doing an interdisciplinary activity with a significant specific weight within the evaluation system of the subject: The tale with music. This is the symbiosis of sound, word and movement, consisting on the dramatization of an original story (freely chosen), seen as a resource to carry out a communicative action. Thanks to that, during all the referred period, there were more than eighty group work presented by the students, each one addressing diverse contents. Based on a quantitative research of the different topics proposed in those works, this paper aims to assess in what extent the principles of sustainability, faced in a social, economic or environmental perspective, have been taken into account, and, therefore, if there is a clear awareness on the part of the students recently admitted to the University about the need for a sustainable curricular development, as well as their understanding of its nature. Besides, as an example of good practices, an experience of a tale with music in which curricular sustainability has been taken into account will be described. The activity was created, as an educational innovation project, in the Teacher Training Center "Luisa Revuelta" of Córdoba, with the participation of teachers from all educational levels and specialties.

Academic Results

The educational innovation project object of this communication focuses on the scale problems that arise in the projects of territorial planning carried out in architecture schools, but also in the loss of the scale concept related to thought and drawing. The project involved collaboration among the Schools of Architecture of Malaga, Palermo and Seville with the aim of carrying out a practical exercise among the students of two subjects that, working on different scales, addressed similar concepts. In particular, following an PBL methodology based on collaborative projects, the planning of the N-340 road in the city of Nerja (Málaga) was carried out. Firstly, the territorial scale is addressed in the subject of Urbanism IV at the School of Architecture of Malaga, proposing the continuity of its development at the scale of landscape design in another place and with other designers of the course of Landscape Laboratory at the School of Architecture of Palermo. Besides, having verified that the academic results have been -in general terms- more satisfactory, the project has allowed consolidating the academic relationship between the three schools, which has translated into the development of complementary training actions.

The Subject

Background: The teaching of the subject “Biochemical Basis of Human Nutrition” of the Degree in Biochemistry is based on the premise that students apply the knowledge acquired in previous courses concerning biochemistry and metabolism. However, for many topics covered in this subject, not rigorously application of this knowledge has been detected, existing influences derived from non-expert information available in the media. To a large extent, this problem lies in the fact that nutrition is a topic widely covered in the media, although often in a generalized, incomplete and not very rigorous way. Methodologies: In this project we proposed students to apply a critical view on nutrition-related information available in the media, with special emphasis on the hottest topics, such as transgenic foods and Mediterranean diet. For this purpose, we designed two strategies: (1) a mini-workshop activity in connection with the subject “Food Biotechnology” focused on the use of transgenic foods; (2) involving students in the creation and management of a web page aimed at dealing with topics related to nutrition, worked from two approaches (informative and scientific). For the development of these activities, students were assigned to different working groups and information about the knowledge of the students in the topics was collected in pre- and post-activity tests. In this way, we involved students in real activities of expert search and screening of information, in order to communicate it in different environments. Results: The project was developed during two academic years, involving students from two successive promotions (30 students in the first year and 39 in the second year). The activities proposed within the project were voluntary, and the percentage of adherence to them was 100% in both cases, indicating the high degree of acceptance among the students. We created a website (www.lawebnatural.com) in the context of this project. In the activities aimed at researching and writing articles on specific topics within the web page environment, questionnaires were carried out prior to the development of the activities to evaluate the degree of knowledge that the students had about the topics to be worked on in the activities. The implementation of post-activities questionnaires showed an improvement percentage of 85% in the knowledge of the topics. The elaboration of graphic material on transgenic foods for the mini-workshop activity, was another profitable activity contributing to a better understanding of the topics. Conclusions and implications: The use of these dynamics concerning the active participation of students in creative tasks based on information search improves the quality of learning. The choice of current topics in nutrition awakens the students' critical spirit, as they confront their pre-established ideas about these topics with the new knowledge acquired. Findings: This communication is derived from the Educative Innovation Project PIE19-068, funded by University of Malaga. Websites were supported by funds from My Scientific.

Universities are undertaking transformation projects that align their work with the Sustainable Development Goals. This paper describes how Ocean I3, an educational innovation project that aims to reduce plastic in the sea, has made an impact on its community over its three editions (2018/19 to 2020/21). Methodologically, it has been approached by the people who make up the technical team and academic coordination as an exploratory study using discrete, non-reactive techniques, mainly from the public domain (websites, blogs, press releases, etc.), and instruments, such as field notes and work material to manage, organize, and train within the project. The analytical procedure has represented a dynamic and systematic process of categorisation. The results highlight the repercussion of the project in terms of capstone projects, master’s thesis, coursework, etc., produced by the students involved; association with employability; collaborative work from the teaching teams; monitoring experience for research purposes, and social dissemination of the project. It concludes by suggesting lines for Ocean I3 to work on in the future to make its footprint sustainable in institutions over time.

Intellectual Activities

Peer instruction is a cooperative-learning technique that promotes critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making skills. Benson's think-pair-share and Mazur's peer-instruction techniques are simple cooperative exercises that promote student's participation in class and increase student's interaction with each other and with the instructor in a large classroom. We borrowed concepts from Benson and Mazur and applied these concepts to enhance student involvement during the respiratory component of the medical physiology class. The medical physiology class consisted of 256 first-year medical students. The peer-instruction technique was used for 10 classes. Each class of 50 min was divided into three or four short presentations of 12-20 min. Each presentation was followed by a one-question, multiple-choice quiz on the subject discussed. Questions ranged from simple recall to those testing complex intellectual activities. Students were given 1 min to think and to record their first answer. Subsequently, students were allowed 1 min to discuss their answers with their classmates and possibly correct their first response. The percentage of correct answers increased significantly (P < 0.05) after discussion for both recall and intellectual questions. These data demonstrate that pausing three to four times during a 50-min class to allow discussion of concepts enhanced the students level of understanding and ability to synthesize and integrate material.

The aim of this study is to develop a concept test on the subject of stars that is suitable for model analysis and to evaluate the conformity of this model. The study was performed using a screening model, which is a type of quantitative research method. The study also tried to fill the gap in the existing literature regarding the use of quantitative methods. To develop the test, existing studies on stars were first examined; interviews with candidates who were teachers were conducted; and finally, necessary amendments to test items were made after referring to experts’ opinions. To assure its validity and reliability, the test was applied to a total of 175 candidates who were studying at schools of education in the departments of science teaching of three different universities to become teachers; all candidates took astronomy courses and were educated on the subject matter. The final form of the test comprised of 26 multiple-choice questions, each with 5 possible answers. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of the test was calculated to be 0.735. In addition, the mean strength of the test was found to be 0.370 and the distinctiveness was found to be 0.390. Statistical analyses revealed that the concept test developed in this study is a valid and reliable test that conforms to the model analysis.
