Learning methodologies
Project-based learning: Develops orderly thinking by proposing solutions to real-life situations through sequenced steps. Because it takes place over an extended period of time, it also builds students' organization and planning skills.
Problem- or challenge-based learning: Develops multiple skills through solving a problem or challenge, such as broadening students' perspective by approaching the problem from different angles, developing creativity by proposing possible solutions, encouraging assertive decision-making based on the information available, and learning to work under pressure.
Case studies: Students first individually, then in small groups and finally as a whole class, formulate concrete and realistic solutions to real-life situations while considering different perspectives. Analysis, reflection and small-group discussion foster empathy, and presenting conclusions to a group builds confidence and clarity in public speaking.
Experiments: Encourage children to inquire, research and learn through discovery, fostering curiosity by inviting students to ask questions, formulate hypotheses and look for answers. Through experimentation, they come to understand natural and scientific phenomena in order to generate and propose models.
Collaborative centers: Reinforce or consolidate previously covered learning with the support of concrete environments and materials. They foster student autonomy by assigning a task with a limited time to complete it, and they respond to multiple intelligences and learning styles by offering alternative materials, activities and assessments for each student.
