Abstract
La actitud negativa y la falta de motivación del alumnado son consideradas posibles causantes de los malos resultados en asignaturas de ciencias. Este Trabajo de Fin de Máster ha diseñado e implementado una metodología activa-motivadora basada en la participación, el uso de herramientas gráficas/multimedia y la incorporación de actividades de dibujo para trabajar de manera transversal competencias como la creatividad y la observación. Además, se ha evaluado si esta metodología mejora las calificaciones del alumnado. De manera paralela, se evalúan los resultados de usar una metodología tradicional. Para ello, se realizó un estudio experimental con diseño pre-test y post-test a 72 alumnos de 1º de la ESO en el IES Domenico Scarlatti (Aranjuez). Se les impartieron 4 sesiones para el estudio de los invertebrados en la asignatura Biología y Geología: dos según metodología activa-motivadora (Poríferos, Platelmintos) y otras dos según metodología tradicional (Cnidarios, Nematodos). El análisis estadístico de los resultados muestra que ambas metodologías mejoran significativamente el aprendizaje. En valores absolutos, los resultados de la metodología activa-motivadora sugieren un incremento en las calificaciones de la evaluación final y en la ratio de mejora con respecto a la metodología tradicional. Atendiendo a los resultados, la estrategia metodológica propuesta en este estudio contribuye a mejorar la motivación, el aprendizaje del alumnado y la adquisición de competencias transversales.
The negative attitude and lack of motivation among the students is bound to be a reason for the poor results in science subjects. This Final Master's Project proposes an active- motivating methodology based on participation, the use of graphic/multimedia tools and the incorporation of drawing activities to practice transversal competencies such as creativity and observation. An assessment of this methodology has been carried out. At the same time, the results of using a traditional methodology have been evaluated. For that, an experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design was carried for 72 students of 1st high school degree at the IES Domenico Scarlatti (Aranjuez). 4 sessions were given to the students regarding invertebrates in the Biology and Geology subject: two sessions were performed according the active-motivating methodology (Porifera, Platyhelminthes) and the two others according the traditional methodology (Cnidarians, Nematodes). Statistical analysis of the results shows that both methodologies significantly improve learning. Absolute values assessment suggests an increase in students’ marks using the active-motivating methodology in the final evaluation and in the improvement ratio with respect to the traditional methodology. Based on the results, the methodological strategy proposed in this study seems to improve the motivation, transversal competences acquisition and students learning.
