Modelo de Guía para Grados Universitarios con Estructura Modular
Abstract
En este trabajo, situándonos desde la Escuela Universitaria Magisterio de Bilbao donde se ha adoptado la organización de los grados según una estructura modular, se han concretado una serie de formulaciones referidas a la composición, roles y funciones de los equipos docente, a los modos de trabajo de dichos equipos y a la coordinación con otros equipos; finalmente, se hace una propuesta de estructura para los distintos tipos de guías docentes (titulación, módulo, materia...) con la definición de sus apartados, siempre basándonos en el citado sistema modular. El artículo acaba con una serie de reflexiones acerca del trabajo en equipo y del cambio cultural que ha supuesto este modo de trabajar, esto es, reflexiones que derivan del propio proceso de trabajo. ABSTRACTA Model Guide to Modular System in the University Degrees.The adaptation of the university curricula to the European Higher Education Area has brought major changes to the teaching and learning practice, such as skill focused planning of teaching, active learning methodologies and the encourage of independent learning, managed by students and, mainly, by teachers. We are aware of the need to promote new ways of working in order to overcome both, the atomistic conception of curricula, departmentalized in disciplinary contents, as much as, historical individualism of teachers. We must also remember that current requirements in education methodologies demand student-centered learning. In this work, basing in that foundation and in the context of the Teacher Training School of Bilbao, where the degrees have been designed according to a modular structure, we discuss how we understand the composition, roles, functions and working procedures of the teaching teams and as a result, how the coordination with other teams must be carried out. Finally, we propose a general structure, for different types of teaching guides (module guide, teaching guide, student guide or subject guide) which, taking into account the basis of the modular system, includes explanations about the different sections and contents of the guide itself. The article concludes with a number of reflections on teamwork and about the cultural change carried by this way of working, that is, reflections arose from the work process itself.
