This study shows the results obtained within a project conducted for three academic years with first-year students enrolled in the Degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of Málaga. The aim has been to facilitate the students’ learning by educating them during and for the practice through a range of activities, and knowing their satisfaction regarding those tasks. They have been evaluated through templates at the end of each course and a quantitative descriptive analysis has been developed for each activity and course for a subsequent comparison. The results show that the evaluations have been very positive, especially those in which students had to interact directly with the reality of schools.
