Personal opinion

This didactic unit has helped us to use the technological resources in a different way. We have learned new techniques and strategies to use in a class in a enjoyable way. Some examples of these technological resources are moviemaker, Prezi, audacity, webquests, etc. We consider the technology very important in our  days but all of us, especially young children, must have a good use of them. So, regarding our project, we have improved the procreation of a class using technological resources. To conclude, all of us are very satisfied with this subject because we will use these strategies in our work future and the teacher has been very nice with us.

Card model

Finally,  we have created a card model to evaluate them.

 

 

Evaluation

Today, we have elaborated the evaluation of our didactic unit

Evaluation

The evaluation will be realized in a continuous way because we want to take into account the different moments:

-Initial: at the beginning of the lesson the teacher evaluates the students' previous knowledge to prove their level of knowledge.

-Progressive: the teacher evaluates the activities done in class in order to acquire the planned knowledge.

-Final: teacher evaluates the  final results of the procedures that the students are carried out in class to acquire the necessary knowledge as well as the understanding and assimilation of them.

Evaluation techniques and instruments

The evaluation technique we are going to use is "Techniques based on information"  and the instrument that we are going to utilize is a structured writing test because students must select and identify the correct answer between a group of them. The children will do this exam on their own computers, in a platform create by the teacher in which they will have to answer the questions.

Marking criteria applied

Exam.............50%

Activities.......30%

Attitude........20%

Use the scale card model to evaluate the attitudes and activity of each student (30% + 20%)

The teacher evaluates students in a continuous way in different sessions. Teacher notices who students achieve the planned objectives in the scale card model so teacher can have a register of their progress and finally, at the end of the trimester teacher can evaluate them

  

 

Competences

We have elaborated the different competences that we are going to include in our didactic unit and that we want that children achieve after the nine sessions about the Solar System

SKILLS: CONTRIBUTION OF THE AREA OF KNOWLEDGE

COMPETENCE IN LANGUAGE COMMUNICATION

Different types of information are presented: expository texts, videos, news, images, etc., that allow reading literacy work. In addition, oral communication skills are developed through activities exchange of views on various topics.

MATHEMATICS COMPETENCE

From knowledge of the environment, mathematical competence through interpretation and the mathematical expression of facts and phenomena work. In the second working cycle is especially related concepts numerical interpretation of the physical world (the measurement of time and distance).

COMPETENCE IN KNOWLEDGE AND INTERACTION WITH THE PHYSICAL WORLD

It is done through critical reflection and responsible attitudes manifest their environment. They must also learn to apply their scientific knowledge to explain the physical world (eg, as guided by the stars). This competition will help to explain phenomena like day and night, the changing seasons ... and also scientific criteria explain the operation of the solar system and the sun, in addition to their interaction with the environment and humans.

DATA PROCESSING AND DIGITAL COMPETENCE

This area contributes to the processing of information through multiple activities of observation and description of reality, like registration and classification of information in different technological formats. Furthermore, in this area an introduction is made to the computer and its operation. And competition from sharing information.

SOCIAL AND CIVIC COMPETENCE.

Through active participation in discussions that take place in class discussions and sharings of different topics. In addition you will be helping children to appreciate and understand the social reality in which they live and that they know live in a tolerant and supportive with their environment.

In this area different technique to select, organize, interpret and store information work. In addition, careful sequencing of learning activities proposed and abundant abstracts and different types of charts and graphic organizers offered. At the beginning of the units are given the opportunity to remember what you already know about the subject matter, to link new knowledge with the already acquired.

 AUTONOMY AND PERSONAL INITIATIVE

In Knowledge of the environment, the multiple activities of application of knowledge and troubleshooting of daily life. Likewise, the way texts are written and activities allows students to do their work independently.
