Project priorities

The project aims to prepare teachers and students for the scientific and social challenges that society now faces. Schools are attended by students of the digital generation who are disengaged from traditional teaching practices, which do not encourage them to study science. To change this situation, it is intended to start by training teachers in teaching and learning methodologies that are feasible in schools, which promote active involvement of students in learning. In addition, it is necessary to train teachers in the use of digital technologies that enhance their use in teaching practice, such as the production of educational videos in science and their analysis by software, and the basic programming of microprocessors (micro:bit and arduino) for the its integration into  educational projects. It is absolutely essential to consolidate this knowledge that aims at digital transformation and enables the teaching staff to work with readiness and resilience in the face of
technological challenges and that manifest themselves in the change of traditional teaching  practices. Thus, with a faculty duly qualified for the challenges of today's school, conditions are in place for students to feel motivated by science and technology, by knowing the methods of science, talking about science and pursuing a scientific and/or technological career.
It is also intended that the work to be carried out by students during the course of the project be monitored by their teachers, contribute to a meaningful learning of science and have an integrative STEAM vision that promotes interdisciplinarity between the different subject areas and the transfer of linguistic experiences, social and intercultural, mobilizing skills such as creativity, critical reasoning, computational thinking, communication and artistic creation, to solve complex problems in science and society.
