What was the goal?
The goal of the project was to propose innovative teaching practices that would contribute to the smoother integration of students with a refugee or migrant background into the classroom, while also strengthening their cognitive level and interest in learning. The proposed practices were based on collaborative teaching through several specific methodologies: group-based classroom organization using tools such as sociograms, WebQuest for developing critical thinking through online research, the flipped classroom model where students study material at home and resolve questions in class, personalized learning allowing students to choose study methods based on their interests, and the use of Information and Communication Technologies to create learning environments that extend beyond traditional textbooks.
How did the project proceed?
The project was conducted through the exploration and analysis of the five collaborative teaching methodologies mentioned above. The team examined how each method could be applied in classrooms with students of migrant or refugee backgrounds, focusing on their potential to foster inclusion, engagement, and learning.
What were the results?
The project found that the proposed teaching methods produced several positive outcomes: active student engagement in the learning process, better management of teaching time, development of critical thinking, a positive disposition and increased interaction among students, development of skills such as cooperation, cultivation of solidarity and mutual understanding, and familiarization with internet-based knowledge. Overall, the proposed methods help teachers create a student-centered learning environment that encourages the desire to learn and promotes collaboration among all students.
