Del dicho al hechoresultados del proyecto de innovación «explícamelo en 10 minutos»

Abstract

The project «Explain it in 10 minutes» was designed in an attempt to improve the communicative skills of the undergraduate students enrolled in the course of Science Teaching of the Degree of Teacher in Primary Education, as well as their capacity to explain scientific concepts and natural phenomena. It was also intended to give students a didactic experience outside the classroom. After undergoing some modifications due to organizational problems, the project allowed the students of the Degree of Teacher in Primary (and also Pre-School) Education to put into practice in a real school the didactical units implemented in the course of Science Teaching. In this sense, our students tested the quality of their works, which were not left in a mere document, but were put into practice. Our students could evaluate which aspects of their work could be improved or modified and which have had a positive impact in the classrooms. We believe that the level of motivation of our students has increased significantly with the implementation of this project.
