Transnatura Project.

Transnatura is the title of the multidisciplinary project designed by the teaching teams of four of the subjects in 3rd year of the Degree in Primary Education. It consists of a two days trip and a night out in nature aimed at providing an intense and formative experience in the natural environment which, besides working specific objectives of each of the disciplines, it also facilitates the approach of transversal aspects such as sustainability, healthy living, coexistence and the relationship between school and nature, among others.
Subjects involved: Didactics of Experimental Sciences, Learning and Development II, Visual Music Education and learning, Physical Education and its Didactics I.
The departure will be held in September or October for groups 21, 31, 41 and 71. Attendance is mandatory. In case someone is unable to attend it, he/she will have to prove the reason for missing it and perform a compensatory work previously agreed with the teaching team.
The activities carried out during the trip will be part of the continuous evaluation of the different subjects. At the beginning of the course eachteacher will specify the learning evidences and the corresponding evaluation criteria.

With the information available in June we can announce that:

Meeting point: Vall de Núria (we are directly at the Cremallera station)

Price: 45 euros (includes Cremallera, dinner, bed, breakfast and lunch on the second day)

During the 1st semester, the UAB opens a call for scholarships to finance the trip

Informative tutorial: Thursday 9 September at 1pm (morning groups) and 3pm (afternoon groups). In this tutorial you will have to make the payment.

Methodology

Methodology

The module will be developed by combining different teaching and learning activities from practice and theory.

Practice

Seminars (small group of students). There will also be one or two practical nature outings with the whole group to practice physical activities in a natural environment. In these sessions, there will be an emphasis on physical activity involving the students. These will be primarily designed by teachers, but will also take into account contributions made by the students.

Theory

Content delivered to the whole group especially via teachers’ lectures on basic module content. They will also allow for students’ open and active participation, such as in debates, presentations and information sharing on results achieved in workshops, questions and answers, reviews of audiovisual documents, etc.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
