Learning Situations for English in 5th Grade Primary (Science-CLIL)
The "Science (CLIL)" series of the EDIA Project offers open educational resources that constitute Learning Situations for the "Science" area for 5th Grade Primary Education. All resources have a series of common points in terms of methodology:
Project Based Learning: All the resources presented are projects in which the contents are acquired through research and creation. They end with a final product.
Learning Diary - Metacognition: Each resource includes, as a proposal, the creation of a learning diary with a series of questions that invite students to reflect as they progress through each project. Different resources for the metacognitive development of the students are also included, such as thinking routines and the metacognition ladder.
Development of the students' digital competence: The products that are proposed in the different projects can be carried out with different digital tools that will help the students to develop their digital competence progressively and adapted to their age.
Shared and formative assessment: Each resource is accompanied by multiple rubrics for the evaluation of the different products. These rubrics will help, on the one hand, the students to understand what is being asked of them and, on the other hand, the teacher to be able to evaluate the students in a more objective way and with the most formative feedback possible. There are also proposals for self-assessment by the students and co-assessment or evaluation of the work team.
All the OER of the EDIA Project promote a competency-based learning where the students have an active role in the classroom, with tasks of different difficulty that mobilize higher level skills and propose a formative and metacognitive evaluation, with instruments provided in the resource itself. They also promote the responsible use of accessible ICT tools that favor the development of the students' digital competence. These OER are in themselves learning situations that prepare our students for the educational challenges of the 21st century.
