Objectives and Contextualisation

The work that the student will carry out throughout the module must serve to give him/her contact with the reality of the profession, and for this reason it takes place to a large extent in a secondary education centre. Firstly, the student will have to get to know the reality of an educational centre, its functions, structure and organisation, as well as integrate into the life and activities of the work placement centre. Secondly, they will have to integrate into a class group and carry out both accompanied and autonomous intervention activities. Overall, your work, both in the preparation phases at the university and during your stay in a secondary school, should enable you to put into practice the skills necessary for your professional development, with the help of the university tutor, the school's work placement coordinator and the school tutor.

  • Analyze and recognize their own socio-emotional skills to develop those needed in their performance and professional development.
  • Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  • Communicate effectively both verbally and non-verbally.
  • Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously.
  • Design and conduct formal and informal activities that help make the center a place of participation and culture in the environment where it is located. Perform the functions of mentoring and guiding students in a collaborative and coordinated manner. Participate in the evaluation, research and innovation of teaching and learning.
  • Fleshing out the math curriculum that is to implement at a school participating in the collective planning thereof. Develop and implement both group and personalized teaching methodologies adapted to the diversity of students.
  • Generate innovative and competitive professional activities and research.
  • Inform and advise families about the process of teaching and learning on personal, academic and professional guidance of their children.
  • Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
  • Know the processes of interaction and communication in the classroom, mastering skills and social skills necessary to promote learning and coexistence in the classroom, and address problems of discipline and conflict resolution.
  • Know the rules and institutional organization of education systems and models of quality improvement with application to the schools.
  • Make effective use of integrated information and communications technology.
  • Plan, develop and evaluate the teaching and learning process enhancing educational processes that facilitate the acquisition of the competences of the teaching of mathematics, based on the level and previous training of students as well as the orientation of the same, both individually and in collaboration with other teachers and school professionals.
  • Possess the necessary learning skills to carry out continuous training in both content and teaching of mathematics and general aspects of the teaching profession.
  • Seek out, obtain, process and communicate information (oral, printed, audiovisual, digital or multimedia), transform it into knowledge and apply it in teaching and learning processes in the corresponding areas.
  • Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
  • Understand and analyze the historical features of the teaching profession, its current situation, perspectives and interaction with the social reality of the time.
  • Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.
  • Work in teams and teams (the same field or interdisciplinary) and develop attitudes of participation and collaboration as an active member of the community.

Content

1) Observation practice in a Secondary Education centre.

2) Intervention practice in a Secondary Education centre.


Methodology

In the first period of the internship, the student will carry out observation tasks.


In the second period, they will carry out tasks of accompanied intervention and autonomous intervention (development of a didactic unit).

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.
