Methodological Innovation
New methodologies become an integral part of ISP’s educational environment. The target is the search for a quality education to promote better academic results among students. Our pedagogical line looks for approaches that are competent, active, interdisciplinary, close to real life, meaningful, oriented to get the best out of everyone and teamwork, and that ensure reflection and consolidation of knowledge beyond practice. To achieve this, we implement resources, devices, materials, infrastructures and equipment, personnel, spaces and organization of the school or classroom that help us to achieve this.
With the methodologies we use in our daily work we seek to promote meaningful learning, based on experimentation, manipulation and motivation of students by focusing on their interests, tastes and motivations.
Active Methodologies
- Virtual Learning Environments. Using interactive educational platforms that present the content in a more dynamic and attractive way. It allows us to observe the evolution of each student in the different activities, as well as their results. In addition, feedback and interaction between the teacher and the student may occur, otherwise, the student himself can observe his progress and be aware of his or her own evolution, which also feeds back his motivation.
- Project Based Learning allows students to acquire knowledge and key competencies that respond to real life problems. Starting from a concrete and real situation, instead of the traditional theoretical and abstract model, students’ ability to retain knowledge is improved, as well as the opportunity to develop complex skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration or problem solving.
- Cooperative learning. Working in groups improves students’ attention, involvement and knowledge acquisition. “Stronger together.”
- Grouping. This organizational and learning strategy allows to enhance both individual and group activities, taking into account the objectives of the activity to be carried out. In this way, diversity is valued and inclusion is favored.
- Use of new technologies. ICTs strengthen the teaching-learning process while facilitating access to knowledge, improving comprehension, increasing motivation and autonomy, making teaching more flexible and promoting teamwork.
- Workshops. Educational workshops are a work methodology that seeks high student participation, providing experiences with which to develop practical and creative skills, in which the interaction of students with common interests and collaborative work is encouraged.
