PRESENTATION OF THE SUBJECT

There are two main questions to think of during this part of the semester...
  • What is active learning?
  • Active learning occurs when students are given the opportunity to interact with the subject matter of a course. Students are able to do something else than passively listening to the teacher and it also implies active teaching.
 
  • Is the any difference between group work and team work?
  • Students need to be taught in a way that reflects real life, they must develop interpersonal skills after all. The difference is in the role students have within the group: do they all work on the same activity to achieve their goal? or do they have different roles and are in charge of part of the task?


After the methodology of this course was explained, we started to experiment it: ACTIVE LEARNING and TEAM WORK. So, the class was divided into 6 groups and each of the groups started to work together with the different activities Laura had prepared.
 
Mine was group 2 and it was a ladies' group: Maite Boix Pérez (language manager), Sara de Julián Ponce (assistant), Ana González Escuder (assitant), Cristina Maldonado Rubio (secretary) and me (leader). Let's try to start working as a team!
