Una experiencia de aula centrada en el conocimiento de los dinosaurios

Abstract

In this paper we present a teaching method that advocates cooperation and motivation of students as a mechanism to promote the development of curricular competences in a classroom of Childhood Education. Communication is encouraged, the exchange of opinions the expression of ideas and feelings, and the resolution of problems close to the learner´s daily life, giving sense to what they learn from an interdisciplinary and globalized perspective. This method is known as Work by Projects. The present document begins with a theoretical fundamentation mainly centered on the origin of this methodology. Subsequently, we expose the design and implementation of a Project based on “The Dinosaurs” in a 4 years old classroom.
