The reality of rural schools means that traditional methodologies are failing, and we need other ways of organizing and working. One solution, both for rural schools and for urban schools looking to catch up, is active methodologies.
Over the years, these methodologies have given rise to a wealth of resources that allow us to approach our work, giving us the possibilities and security to create a different kind of school in the 21st century. Therefore, in this reference practice, you will find a set of resources organized as worksheets, in case they serve as stepping stones along the way to take the first steps in these methodologies, or to delve deeper into them.
José Luis Murillo García, a teacher, shares this collection of examples, activities, and theory surrounding meaningful learning through active methodologies on his website.
With this comprehensive presentation, we can delve into the world of active methodologies, their characteristics, and advantages for students. But, for the most part, you’ll find a tool full of resources, activities, and dynamics related to active methodologies: centres of interest, projects, workshops, environments and corners, outings, celebrations, and much more.
The different dynamics, also based on the transversality of meaningful learning, address, among other areas, the tangible and intangible heritage of their most local environments.
Although a presentation may seem like an impractical tool, too focused on theory, this resource is full of photographs and images that justify the ideas provided regarding active methodologies for learning about heritage and other areas.
