Erasmus+ STEM (2018-20)

Instruction

Good implementation already

• STEM subjects are taught at different levels.  

• 1st course (12 years old students):Proxecto Boiro, researching
• 2nd course: Green New School, about STEM-Ecofeminism-Communication (new, starts in 2019_20)
• 2nd course: Technology (mechanisms, structures, electricity)
• 3rd course: Technology (materials, CAD, robotics, elecricity)
• 4th course: Technology (electronics, robotics, programming, communication)

• There is interdisciplinary collaboration among teachers to identify learning needs and interests of students.                                                                                  

We do it in our Assessment meetings (October, December, March, June, September); A report is made by our Counaelor and a follow-up programme is settled for each student.

• Organised and planned projects with identifiable goals and outcomes are part of STEM subjects.

Yes, and we can see the goals in our Syllabus.

• Students are actively involved in the learning process.

Yes, as we can infer from the high number of participants in the extracurricular activities.

• Hands-on activities are part of STEM subjects.

 Yes; you can take a look at our Tech projects in our Annual report, page 5 ahead.

• The school representatives carry out extracurricular projects in the STEM areas.

We do: we carry out a Science Club based on Bioarchitecture and a Robots-Audiovisual lab (STARgal).

• STEM subject topics and practices are based on solving real-world problems.

• 1st course subject: we do a research on health topics related to our village
• 2nd course subjec: we will do a research on ecological issues related to our country
• 2nd, 3rd and 4th course Tech: we do projects related to current issues like electric cars, health troubles involved in conventional building techniques, control systems, A.I., I.o.T

• Project-based teaching methods are used through solving open-ended tasks.

 It's our philosophy.

• Maker education is part of the STEM teaching in the school.

 It is essential in the Curriculum of Tech lessons: we mount prototypes and mother board basis, use 3D printing, solder circuits, build models...

• Learning outcomes are observed and analysed and the learning process is adapted accordingly.                                                

 It is compulsory in Spain and we do it in our ordinary assessment meetings.
