Short description of the group and objectives:

The present research group seeks to observe and know the degree of educational innovation that is currently carried out in the educational centers of secondary education (ESO), baccalaureate, FP and Official Language Teaching through their classroom methodologies, student assessment and classroom organization. For this purpose, the following specific study objectives have been programmed:

  1. To find out, through the internship students of the Master's Degree in Teacher Training, to what extent the methodologies applied in schools are active or traditional.
  2. To inquire about the type of classroom organization that is mostly used in current ESO, BTO, FP and Language Teaching schools.
  3. To find out the type of student assessment that is currently applied in ESO, BTO, FP and Language Teaching schools.
  4. To know the perception of future teachers about the current innovative elements that are carried out in the classrooms of the schools where they work or have done their internships.

Investigation lines:

  • Educational innovation in Secondary Education, Vocational Training and Official Language Teaching.
  • Educational methods, classroom organization and student assessment in Secondary Education, Vocational Training and Official Language Teaching.
  • Perception of future teachers on educational innovation in schools.
