Methodology

 We have been thinking about which is the methodology that we are carrying out in order to develop that part in our didactic unit.

6. Methodology

a) Methodological orientations and strategies.

 In this didactic unit, a list of instructional methods are used, and when they all are combined, the students´ learning will be strengthened. The used methods are:

·         Direct teaching: This method will be used with the aim of basic skills. The teacher explains the contents and provides the required material. He/she offers students the necessary corrections and revisions in order to consolidate learning. When the teacher needs to introduce materials in a complex and organized way, this method will be used because it allows students to work with an enormous quantity of information in a short period of time.

·         Discovery learning: When students work in an individual way in order to discover basic skills, it helps them to work without the continuous supervision of the teacher. Students in an autonomous way create their own learning exploring new knowledge.

·         Cooperative learning: This method is used joining groups that mainly must be heterogeneous in order to collaborate with each other, share opinions and  support between them to consolidate their learning. This instructional method favours their academic performance and their implication in the tasks.
