We propose a learning Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Mathematics so as interdisciplinary project work and various work tools in response to the need for well-trained teachers. All this, with an integrated educational philosophy of the human person and for capacities to promote active learning and meaningful, motivating, and better communication and relationships and effective.

This stuff is 18 credits during the first half distributed equally according to content:

Natural Sciences and Social Learning - 6 ECTS
Learning of Mathematics, -6 ECTS
Interdisciplinary project work in native communities, Social Sciences and Mathematics - 6 ECTS

Encourage research skills.
Working skills of reasoning, analysis and synthesis
Develop communication skills.
Applying digital technologies in the development of mathematical thinking

• CEM-33 - To know the scientific, mathematical and technological basics of the curriculum of this stage, as well as the theories about acquisition and development of the corresponding knowledge.
• CEM-34 - To be familiar with teaching strategies to develop numerical representations, and to have spatial and geometric notions, as well as of logical development.
• CEM-35 - To understand mathematics as sociocultural knowledge
• CET-1 - Interpersonal responsibility: to be aware of professional performance and influence on students. To have the skills and knowledge to manage group processes and communication for good collaboration with and between students.
• CET-2 - Pedagogical responsibility: to have the knowledge and teaching skills required to create a safe learning environment for both classes and groups, but also for individual students, in order that children can become responsible, independent adults.
• CET-3 - Expertise in the subject taught and teaching methodologies: to have the required knowledge in the subject taught and to know which teaching methods should be applied to create a good learning environment where students can acquire the cultural baggage they need to live in society. and to do so in an up-to-date, professional and systematic manner.
• CET-4 - Expertise in the subject taught and teaching methodologies: to have the required knowledge in the subject taught and to know which teaching methods should be applied to create a good learning environment where students can acquire the cultural baggage they need to live in society. and to do so in an up-to-date, professional and systematic manner.
• CET-5 - Collaboration with colleagues in the profession: to have the knowledge and skills required to make a professional contribution to the teaching environment in the school, in professional relationships, and to achieve a good school organization.
• CET-7 - To promote responsibility in terms of professional development: to analyse, reflect on and develop points of view about the profession and teaching skills, to know how to make these clear and how to bring them up to date.
• CG-01 - To integrate information and communication technologies in teaching and learning activities, teaching management and professional development.
• CG-02 - To communicate clearly and correctly in the language of instruction (Catalan and Spanish), orally and in writing, in accordance with level C1 in the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR).
• CG-04 - To promote and facilitate attention to the unique educational needs of students, gender equality, fairness and respect for human rights, in the contexts of learning and social harmony, both in the school and in relation to the surroundings.
• CG-09 - To be familiar with the elements that make up creativity, the different levels of proficiency and how to develop this skill as much as possible.
• CG-11 - To be familiar with the elements that make up the quality-based approach, the different levels of proficiency and how to develop this skill as much as possible.

1. Use the curriculum as a tool to develop teaching units of work adapted to the context.
2. Know the different blocks of content integration and distribution scheduling activities of 0 to 6 years for the development of science.
3. Establishes the relationship between learning disabilities and difficulties in language acquisition.
4. Considers important prior knowledge in the teaching-learning situations.
5. raises learning strategies tailored to different learning styles of students in science with entrepreneurship.
6. relates and applies the theoretical work situations arising in practice.Linking assessment with the skills and learning outcomes.analyzes and uses the error as a source of learning sciences.
7. Develops guidelines for observation and monitoring in line with planned activities, quality-oriented.
8. relates the logic that presents students with scientific logic.
9. Consider the assessment of teaching practice as part of the process of teaching and learning.
10. Participate in group activities and considers the contributions of colleagues the benefit of the individual and collective learning.
11. Communicate their ideas to others and express reasoned correctly in language teaching (Catalan in the case of this subject), oral and written, and is able to represent them using concept maps or other procedures.
12. Know interpret and integrate knowledge of English documents in this matter.
13. Communicate your ideas to others argued and expressed correctly in the language of instruction (Catalan in the case of this subject), orally and in writing, and is able to represent them through conceptual maps or other procedures

• The mathematics curriculum in education infantl
• Constructing mathematical knowledge: development of mathematical thinking from 0 to 6 years
• Action planning: the first level of specificity to classroom programming
• Criteria for selection and sequencing of content
• Blocks: mathematical logic, numeration and calculation, geometry, measurement and statistics
• Mathematics and Language: Learning Difficulties
• The social function of mathematics and its content in the classroom
• Diversity as a pedagogical condition
• Tipology activities: organizational arrangements and resources: handly and digital
• Play as Research
• The global perception: the education of the senses and the information processing
• Observation and experimentation as situations apendizaje
• Evaluation as a regulatory element of the teaching and aprendiazaje in mathematics

Blocks to develop content

Introduction to children's mathematics. What / Why teach mathematics in EI

1. What teaching to the development of children's mathematics?
2. How to promote the development of mathematical thinking to IE?
3. Assessing the development of mathematical thinking to IE: why, what, how and when to evaluate?

Mathematical learning

Keep consistency with other areas of the field work and the overall project methodology and corners. We will also cooperative learning, expository method and solving exercises and problems. Work with different types of training activities: study and group work, workshops, lectures and practices, and individual self-study.

Mathematical learning

The subject is a person and continue ongoing assessment linked to the achievement of competencies (attendence 60%). Students may be self-regulate their level of learning according to the rubrics of nl'assignatura.

We evaluate personal progress within a cumulative assessment. VERY IMPORTANT: you take into account the consistency between personal and group notes, to certify the achievement of individual skills.

If you consider that one of the powers has not been achieved, based on the rubrics of the course will be recovered at the second call. In this case the test is specific for this competition.

According to the guidelines of the grade and consistent with the cross development of communicative competence CG2, we'll help with correction in spelling and in drafting in evaluation activities. In this regard they will be returned with an NC those works (no evidence) that show excessive misspellings or illegible written. In the event that no appropriate NC, we will penalize with 0.2 points each serious misconduct observed.
