What is being done in Technology Class?
The methodology of teaching this subject combines the acquisition of theoretical knowledge with its practical application. This is done through the use of projects, one of the most powerful tools of learning suggested by Formal Education for the following reasons:
- Students are protagonists of the process: they come up with each solution; they discuss it, define it, present it, defend it, and finally construct it.
- The students always work in teams (as much in the classroom as in the computer room) so that they learn to participate, to value others’ opinions, to create their own ideas, to accept others’ ideas, and to agree on the results.
- The practical application of the theoretical knowledge acquired in other areas reinforces global teaching.
- Obtaining the final results from practical, tangible, and usable solutions reinforces self-esteem of EVERY student.
