Seminar on education in European innovative schools during COVID-19 lockdown

Abstract

The development of a collaborative seminar held at the University of Salamanca, with students of the first year of the Primary Teacher Degree, it has had to adapt to the confinement conditions imposed by the government as of March 2020. The situation forces to change the context of a face-to-face teaching to an online teaching, using the didactic resources that the Campus Studium makes available to the University Community: use of the Moodle platform and use of tools of collaborative work, through Wikis and use of videoconference systems for the presentation of the works on-line by the students. The initial objective of the work was to know the didactic and methodological strategies developed by the colleges and schools classified as most innovative, by Spanish national newspapers or by educational magazines. The students have carried out a study on the educational centers, working collaboratively in small groups, and have been able to learn about the didactic strategies they were using for the development of teaching, during the period of confinement. The presentation of on-line works has been carried out by videoconference, carrying out the evaluation by peers. Finally, the tools used for the development of the seminar on the Studium virtual campus have been analyzed by the students.
