A Journey Through Young People's Education

Abstract

This program has been designed for the first year of compulsory secondary education, specifically for the subject of Foreign Language I (English). This didactic program combines methodologies based on Bloom's Taxonomy, Merril's Instructional Design and reflects contributions from the DUA Teaching Methodology. In addition, various teaching methods and strategies are interspersed, such as direct teaching, gamification, flipped classroom and project-based teaching. This is clearly reflected in the activities designed for the creation of the didactic units, which have an innovative, motivating and participatory character. An analysis on diversity in the classroom is also carried out and a curricular adaptation is presented for students with difficulties. In this program we find two separate students in the two courses corresponding to the first year of Compulsory Secondary Education. In particular, one student with ADD and another student with Severe Conduct Disorder, for whom a personalised adaptation of both the activities and the evaluation methods have been made. Finally, a plan for retaking the evaluation criteria is also formulated, in which innovative activities have been designed to encourage the promotion of students who have failed one or more criteria.
