TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION IN SPAIN

• Technology is defined in Spain as a meeting
  point between different nature knowledge (Based
  in scientific, empirical fundaments) that are
  related to each other to solve a problem emerged
  from a necessity.

TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATIONSecondary Obligatory
Education (ESO)

• Technology is present in these four years of the
  education
• First and Second course The technology subject
  is compulsory.
• Third and fourth course The subjects are divided
  in common and specific subjects that will
  constitute the following educative itineraries
• THIRD COURSE Technological Itinerary and
  Scientific-Humanistic Itinerary
• FOURTH COURSE Technological Itinerary,
  Scientific Itineraty and the Humanistic itinerary.

13
TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATIONSecondary Compulsory
Education

• Aims of the Technology subject
• To foment the learning of knowledge and the
  development of skills to understand both,the
  technical objects and how to operate on them.
• To promote the use of the new Information
  Technologies as tools to explore, analyze,
  interchange and to display the information.
• To develop the necessary capacities to foment the
  innovated attitude in the search of solutions to
  existing problems.

allow the technical object comprehension and the
intervention on them. Its pretention is also the
use of the new information technologies as tools

TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATIONBaccalaureate

• There are two academic courses organized in
  common, specific of each modality and elective
  subjects.
• The common subjects in the Baccalaureate will
  contribute to the general training of the
  students. Specific and elective ones will provide
  a more specialized training to them, preparing
  them and guiding them towards later studies an
  their future professional work.

22
TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATIONBaccalaureate

• The modalities of the Baccalaureate will be the
  following ones
• Arts.
• Sciences and Technology
• Telectrotechnia
• Industrial Technology I and II
• Humanities and Social Sciences.
• The students will have six specific subjects of
  the chosen modality, three in each course.
• The Baccalaureste degree enables the student to
  accede to the Superior degree in the Vocational
  training studies and to the University studies.

• The Obtaining of the degrees in Expert an
  Advanced expert are ordered in educative cycles
  of specific professional training of average
  degree and superior degree, respectively, grouped
  in professional families.

29
TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATIONVocational Training

• These Training education Cycles (including the
  technological ones) include a phase of
  practical training in work placements, promoting
  the participation of the social agents (the most
  important ones in our educative system)
• The Vocational Training Education in Spain has a
  high level of practical work (technological in
  the case of certain professional families) and
  application to the later labour insertion.
• The Statutory Law on Qualifications and
  Vocational Training (L.O.C.F.P.) expects that
  the Vocational Training Education covers the
  nowadays labour market demands, promoting an
  education focused on employment and enabling the
  long life learning.

TECNOLOGY AND EDUCATION Technology Education at
University

• University has suffered great changes in the last
  years in Spain.
• Increase in the number of students and
  qualifications (different degrees)
• Investigation and projects increase ID
• Creation of new Universities (multiplied for
  three in the last 15 years)
• Lack of teaching training (knowledge, but not its
  further transmission)
• Innovative academic vision. More attention to
  application and innovative aspects.

TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION Technology education
teacher training in Spanish Universities

• PEDAGOGICAL APTITUD CERTIFICATE (1970, General
  Law of Education)
• The Licensed, engineers, or architects that want
  to orient their professional studies towards
  secondary education will need an initial didactic
  and pedagogical training that is provided by the
  CAP
• It is a Compulsory Degree needed to teach in the
  public secondary obligatory education and it is
  considered as a postgraduation course.
• Almost all the Universities, through the ICE
  (Institute of Educational Sciences) develop these
  courses for the obtaining of such Certificate of
  Pedagogical Aptitud (CAP).

35
TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATIONTechnology education
teacher training in Spanish Universities

• The structure and organization of the course will
  differ depending on the ICE that elaborates the
  programme, but generally the course for the
  obtaining of the CAP consists of two cycles, one
  theoretical and another practical that usually
  last 5 months.
• The draft bill of the Statutory Law of Education
  says that for the exercise of the docence it will
  be necessary to have an initial didactic
  training, tht will be held by the Universities,
  within the frame of the future degrees of
  University Studies.

Modular-te Report Spain
36
TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATIONTeacher Training in
Technology Education in Spanish Universities

• The CAP consists on between 100 y 300 hours (10
  to 30 credits), divided in a Theoretical part
  (50 to 200 hours) and a practical one (from 50
  to 150 hours)

37
TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION IN SPAIN (INTERACTION IN
THE CLASS-ROOM)

• In the area of Technology the activities carried
  out are iniciation, development, synthesis,
  reinforcement, etc. With the pretention of ensure
  the building up of significant learnings.
• Generally, the activities are organized around
  the methodic process of problem resolution. This
  process has to phases draft-project or study,
  design of a solution, working planning, carry out
  of the practical training and execution and
  testing or evaluation.

38
TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION IN SPAIN

• In Spain, Technology Education is understood as
  a conjunction of both knowledge-action, with an
  equivalent treatment.
• The manipulation of materials without the
  necessary technical knowledge could guide us to
  an useless activity production, and thus, a too
  academic teaching-learning process, with no
  practical training, design and making, has not
  real application and, therefore can not be put in
  practice.

39
SOCIOCULTURAL (the environmental, historic and
econimic considerations, etc.)
EXPRESSIVE (the drawing, the report making,
plan and schemes, etc.)
METHODIC (the plannification, the organized
method to solve problems, tasks organization,
etc.)
AREAS COMPLIMENTED BY TE IN SPAIN
SCIENTIFIC (the calculation, measure, and
application of the scientific knowledge, the
experimentation, etc.)
TECHNICAL (the work with tools, materials,
instruments, etc.)

workshop

• It is an unique space organized, for practical
  reasons, en three areas teaching room, workshop
  and store.
• In the classroom the teacher gives explanations
  and the students propose solutions, draw,
  planify, make reports, etc.
• The workshop is the area in which the technical
  works that require the use of tools and
  machinery, or fitting equipments.
• The store is a space of some centres, where the
  materials used in the area are kept. The store
  activities offer didactic interest link to the
  order, the plannification, the control and the
  working organization.
• Othe areas are the ones choosen to keep the works
  in process of execution or those used to
  expositions of students works.

41
TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION REAL EXAMPLES (ESO
LEVEL 12-16 YEARS )

• To Design and make a ramp in which a small ball
  will go from an extreme to another in 15 seconds
• To make an object that will move by itsown,
  straight on and on the floor, a distance of 2
  metres.Construir un objeto que sea capaz de
  desplazarse por si mismo, en línea recta y por el
  suelo, una distancia de 2  metros". 
• To Design and make a scale machine that solve
  the rise and down of building material, etc. The
  second floor (height 9.5 metres) and must have a
  continuous functioning
