ERASMUS+
OBJECTIVE 1
Verify and, if appropriate, to clarify, expand, or correct, the proposed curriculum of our school in the field of the arts and sciences.
In 2020, the International College J. H. Newman enjoyed the project Erasmus+ K1 requested "Oh, for the love of art!" along with the Colegio La Traccia in Bergamo and Sacro Cuore of Milan.
We bet on the value of the mobility of the management team and teachers to build projects of international cooperation and work, through observation, for the improvement of skills.
It is necessary to deepen in our own educational principles and teaching in dialogue with other educational experiences in europe which provide new perspectives or need and consist of a more practical and experimental in our proposal, extracting all the possible implications. The critical dialogue it is a permanent responsibility for the construction of the own educational project in the horizon of common construction and mutual help.
We wanted to enrich our proposal in the ddevelopment of the teaching of the arts and sciences within an interdisciplinary relationship. In a world determined by the image and emotions, where the role of the speech is increasingly limited, we are convinced that beauty is an educational factor fundamental and cross-cutting within the school, for the development of reason and personality.
Verify and, if appropriate, to clarify, expand, or correct, the proposed curriculum of our school in the field of the arts and sciences.
Expand the implications of teaching the teaching of the arts and sciences in the classroom, concibiéndolas, fundamentally, as a laboratory: a place in which it develops an experience, creating learning situations.
To analyze the practice of the evaluation in order to improve learning.
To deepen the practice of observation as the starting point of all learning, both in arts and science, and to develop new activities for this purpose.
Developing artistic activities functional to the learning of science.
Analyze, assess, and learn how to implement the activities of guidance, training and professional development in enterprises connected with the world of art, in all its perspectives, especially the digital.
Create and/or strengthen relationships that permit the realization of stays of study and exchange of students between the different schools.
One of the actions of our Plan of European Development this was to promote international cooperation through a Erasmus+.
In the framework of the project we did activities: job shadowing and evaluation, adaptation of the teaching methodology of science and art and to rethink the use of laboratories, implementation of oral assessment in all the subjects from the last year of Primary school, rethink the common areas of the college to use the exhibition of works of students, to rethink the professional guidance through lectures of invited experts and implementation of practices in companies for students of 1º Bach.
The aim was to observe the teaching methodology science in the process of observation, description, and question and the use of the arts to this end, the social function of drawing scientific and teaching techniques to teach the relationship between the drawing and the scientific and that which is studied.
Another important aspect was to learn about the methodology of evaluation. We have learned techniques of evaluation and motivation of the study, as well as improvement of oral expression from Primary up to higher cycles.
The goal was to learn and put into practice methodological issues very interesting, and tremoval techniques teaching drawing we are improving our work with the students, consequently, their performance.
Of great usefulness has been to observe and learn techniques of drawing to improve the teaching of Artistic Drawing, as well as know the Laboratory of Architecture to introduce innovative projects in our school.
We have also observed the techniques of oral assessment applied to the arts, how they managed the program placements for students.
Our main interest is focused on how to work two artistic projects that are differentiated in the three-year period: "Architecture and Environment" and "visual Arts – curvature graph-pictorial".
We also see his work in the artistic workshops and study how they manage the program orrientación professional alternation school – work.
We believe that this project has had a great impact the effect of which-in the short term - it is more evident in participants, the students and the other teachers at the school, as well as in the relationship with the international schools who have participated in it.
There has been a improvement of the teaching competence of our teachers. Observe the teaching of the subjects of Science and of Art, in a high school -where, in addition to the specific formation of these branches will extend for 5 years - it has been an experience of great utility, since it has allowed us to enter in contact with realities which allows one to address the teachings with more time, with more detail, with more technicality and with more demands.
This learning context -along with the dialogue with their professors - has been of great impact to improve our methodologies, since, seeing how they develop different teaching laboratories has inspired us to adapt our content to you, and even our facilities, to models that are more consistent.
The students benefit from content renovated and teaching techniques more effective, also thanks to a better use of the laboratories.
A special highlight that, having observed the benefits it has to perform the oral evaluation, we've been convinced to implement it in our center by a majority.
The rooms in the two high Schools, art has allowed us to gather ideas on your orientation program Alternation School-Work.
At the level of international cooperation, the mobilities have been driven further, a dynamic that we had already triggered following the detection of the need to implement more programs placements abroad.
