Description

As no one could understand a hospital using 20th century procedures, education must also adapt to state-of-the-art teaching procedures. The current trend is that students must learn for themselves, in other words, they must learn how to learn. In this course, we will explore 5 great ways to get students to seek information and learn on their own. Participants will try out these five different teaching styles for themselves as if they were learners: (1) problem-based learning, (2) challenge-based learning, (3) flipped classroom, (4) service-based learning and (5) project-based learning…. Depending on the use of time, other learning modalities, perhaps more specific to certain areas of knowledge, may be considered. In addition to teaching the different models, a critical analysis of each model will be made. The experience of the teachers taking part in the course, this time as students, will enable them to analyse for themselves the strengths and weaknesses of each of the procedures.REMARKS (1): All sessions will be taught by university lecturers or by active primary or secondary school teachers with experience in each of the methodologies.REMARKS (2): All those attending the course will receive a document accrediting their attendance, participation, and use of the course, accrediting 30 hours of dedication.REMARKS (3): It is highly recommended that those attending the course bring their own laptop / tablet to search better the information and in their own language.Subscribe to our NEWSLETTER to receive the latest news and information about our courses (MAX. 1 email per month): http://www.alicantetraining.com/index/newsletter/
