Service Learning Experiences in the Bachelor’s Degree in Pedagogy

Learning and Personal development

  • Coordination: Gisela Ferré (gisela.ferre(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat)
  • Organisation: Escola Pública de Bonavista (Public School of Bonavista).
  • Summary: In the subject Learning and Personal Development, which is shared by first-year students of four different degrees from the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Psychology (Early Childhood Education, Primary Education, Social Education and Pedagogy), university students are integrated into the 1st and 2nd grade classrooms at the Bonavista Primary School, a centre of maximum group C complexity. The URV students carry out sessions to observe the interaction between children in the classroom and prepare a proposal for integration, bearing in mind their stage of development. The observation sessions are carried out in small groups in November and in February the school is provided with feedback.

Communication Skills

  • Coordination: Janaina Minelli de Oliveria Ramos (janaina.oliveira(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat)
  • Organisation: Associació de Familiars d' Infants i Joves amb Càncer de Tarragona - AFANOC (Association of Families of Children and Young People with Cancer of Tarragona).
  • Summary: Both the students and the association contribute as much to this SL experience as they benefit from it. The Association needs to explain to their activities and objectives to the general public. The students of the subject Communication Skills develop their digital competence and creativity by creating four communication pieces. The association specifies what the pieces the students create need to be about and receive in exchange a video, a podcast, an infographic and a comic. The students' contribution is their creativity and motivation in contacting the organisations and, in return, they have real recipients for the work they do in the subject Communication Skills.

Research and evaluation in education

  • Coordination: M. Concepció Torres Sabaté (responsable.peps(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat)
  • Organisations: Centre Cívic de Sant Pere i Sant Pau (Sant Pere i Sant Pau Civic Centre), Centre Cívic Sant Salvador (Sant Salvador Civic Centre), CRAE Fundació Casa Sant Josep (Casa Sant Josep Foundation), Creu Roja Tarragona (Red Cross Tarragona), Fundació Topromi (Topromi Foundation), Servei de Drogodependència de l'Ajuntament de Tarragona (Drug Addiction Service of Tarragona City Council), Servei de Drogodependència de l'Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus (Drug Addiction Service of the Sant Joan University Hospital in Reus), Equips bàsics de serveis socials de Reus (Basic teams of social services in Reus). / Escola d'adults Josepa Massanès (Josepa Massanès school for adults), Unitat d'Escolarització Compartida del Vendrell (Vendrell Shared Schooling Unit), Associació d'Artistes de la Part Alta - Tallers 03 (Association of Artists of the Part Alta - Workshops 03).
  • Summary: This service learning experience consists of an interdisciplinary project carried out in groups by the 2nd year students on the Pedagogy and Social Education degrees. It covers all the subjects on the programme. This project must respond to a need that the organisations have. Students can conduct three interviews with the heads of the organisations to contextualise and identify their needs, and thus obtain the necessary information to design the project. In preparing the project, they must consider attention to diversity, the research methodologies, the planning of the entire project, the legal framework of the association and the project, and the psychological aspects of the target users. Finally, they must give an oral presentation about the project to work on their communication skills. The specific competences of each of the subjects are also assessed, as well as some interdisciplinary competences, such as the students' use of ICT and language, since they have to defend the project in front of a panel. Some student projects focus on adult education, mental health disorders, awareness of the elderly, environmental education for the visually impaired, self-esteem in people with HSV/AIDS, and the creation of a multi-sensory room for people with Alzheimer's, among others.

Professional and personal development in pedagogy

  • Coordination: Carmen Negrillo (carme.negrillo(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat)
  • Organisation: Escola Torroja i Miret (Torroja i Miret Primary School).
  • Summary: This service learning experience involves carrying out a short programme of activities for children in kindergarten and primary education, led by the students of this subject. The aim is to enrich the overall education offered in the school and contextualised in its Educational Project. These activities give priority to children with specific educational, social and learning needs. At the same time, students get first-hand experience of a socio-educational work environment and they can practise social responsibility as professionals. The Torroja i Miret Primary School has an Educational Project that involves different actions to promote comprehensive education in which they work on values such as social inclusion, cohesion, interculturality, health, citizenship, positive coexistence, tolerance and solidarity. The service learning activities include:

    - Activities such as the "reading mentors" project, which encourage a taste for reading.
    - Recreational activities involving cooperative games at recess times.
    - Social-emotional education activities.
    - Designing, implementing and analysing school activities involving parents.

ICT Resources and Inclusive Education

  • Coordination: José Luis Lázaro Cantabrana (joseluis.lazaro(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat)
  • Organisations: Escola L'Arrabassada (Arrabassada Primary School), Escola Torreforta (Torreforta Primary School) and Escola Mossèn Ramon Bergadà (Mossèn Ramon Bergadà Primary School)
  • Summary: The general purpose of the project is to improve the initial practical training of teachers through a strategy of collaboration between the university and schools. The schools are used as real scenarios for training and research and the university collaborates with them to create innovative teaching material resources tailored to their needs. According to the latest government reports and the scientific literature, improving the training of future teachers requires more practice-oriented training. Combining theory and practice in real work contexts is fundamental if trainee teachers are to develop their professional skills. In particular, we focus on developing digital competence, which is an interdisciplinary competence on the curriculum of future teachers that must be part of various subjects on the degree. It is also increasingly necessary to train teachers working in schools in this competence, and institutions need to rise to this challenge.

This SL experience is carried in conjunction with the Double Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and Primary Education.

Bachelor’s thesis: Classroom adaptation strategies for children on the autism spectrum

  • Coordination: Maria Dolores Varea Santiago (mariadolores.varea(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat)
  • Community organization: Associació Trastorn Espectre Autista de les Terres de l'Ebre - ATEATE (Autism Spectrum Disorder Association of the Terres de l'Ebre Area).
  • Summary: Children on the autism spectrum often experience problems adapting and integrating to a classroom setting. These problems may range from difficulties in understanding a task, to communications and relational difficulties to hyper- and hyposensitivities, amongst others. It was decided that it would be useful to carry out a professionally oriented assignment on the basis of the difficulties in communications, relations and interactions experienced by children with disorders on the autism spectrum. The strategies would help students to adapt, on the one hand, to specific teaching methodologies, visual media, class structures, and the use of images and graphics, and on the other, to develop ways of working with others through cooperative work, playground interactions, and games that promote social skills in school, among others.
