La UIMP debate sobre innovación pedagógica en sus dos cursos para docentes

[Google translate] The UIMP debates on pedagogical innovation in its two courses for teachers

The Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP) of Valencia inaugurated its two teacher training courses on Monday, which will focus on issues of pedagogical innovation.

The initiative, which hopes to bring together teachers from all over Spain until next Friday, is being developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, with the aim of "teaching teachers how to face the great challenges in education", such as "low performance in certain groups of students" or "the relevance of linking scientific skills with social and civic skills", explained the university in a statement.

In the course "With AERs and the Wild", attendees will learn about the advantages of using Open Educational Resources (OERs), as well as classroom content that teachers can then create, adapt, modify or share with other teachers.

"The need for cooperative learning, in a world in which group work is fundamental, may be a differentiating element in training, but knowing the ways to assess these dynamics will make it possible to optimise these resources", he said.

The second course, "Tools for improving STEM education in the diverse classrooms", will offer a "unique training opportunity for teachers in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics" (STEM) and "will adapt this teaching to the current social challenges that teachers experience in the classroom", the centre concluded.
