La opinión de los estudiantes sobre metodologías docentes

Abstract

We conducted an investigation into certain methodologies described by Finkel in his book “Teaching with your  mouth  shut”  This  research  consists  of  an  assessment  carried  out  by  students  from  I.E.S.  Bovalar in Castellon through a survey. The research aims to prove whether there is a relationship between those methodologies that students consider more participatory, and those which they would like their teachers to use, in other words, if students prefer to use teaching methods which get them more involved, and where they are the center of the teaching-learning process. Following a stadistical analysis using SPSS, we can conclude  that  there  is  a  direct  relationship  between  those  methodologies  which  students  considered  more participatory, and those which they would like their teachers to put into practice. Finally, we ascertained the importance of expanding the use of such estrategies to make learning meaningful and for students to improve the acquisition of basic skills.
