Formación de maestros y Microproyectos curriculares
Abstract
The teaching experience we present is closely linked to research, considered part of the action of training teachers. In the new curriculum, adapted to the European Higher Education Area and valid throughout the European continent, a Final Degree Work (TFG) was introduced to the last semester of training, which must demonstrate a received comprehensive training in all subjects. We planned a TFG model in which students interrelate knowledge, professional practice and research. This type of TFG is based on the Emergent Educational Model that we have elaborated. In the current course we have carried out and analyzed four examples in which ethnomathematics is introduced as a foundation, microprojects focusing on different cultural signs are elaborated, and the interrelationship of the various sciences are reflected upon, creating awareness that research is a necessary element in teacher education. We describe the MED model of teacher education, the didactic teaching construct called micro-project, and the type of TFG designed, along with four examples thereof.
