In our previous article of the February 11, we
asked ourselves about the teacher’s role regarding how to teach
entrepreneurship.
In that commentary, we stressed to the readers the
pedagogical skills’ importance. We asserted that teachers needed to know how
encourage the process of learning in order to make competent workers,
entrepreneurs, citizens, etc.
In this
article we introduce three tools for developing the teacher’ pedagogical skills.
All of them are included in the called PEDAGOGY OF DISCOVER:
·
Webquest
methodology:
A webquest is an educational initiative of guided
research, which mainly used Internet resources. It considers the development of
basic skills, teamwork and provides individual accountability, prioritizing the
construction of knowledge by transforming information into creating a product
and contains a direct evaluation of the process and results.
The Webquest is a learning model based on the use
of Internet and ICTs resources. The VET students do research and team working
while they develop ICT skills and get knowledge. Webquest encourages them to
investigate and improve their critical thinking and problem solving.
It was created by Bernie Dodge in 1.995
·
PBL
methodology:
The problems based on the Learning is a
didactic methodology which students build their knowledge basing on real-life
problems. This methodology seeks to achieve:
o
Promoting
student responsibility for their own learning
o
Working
in classroom situations similar to real world
o
Developing
certain skills that involve a commitment to lifelong learning.
o
Ordering
and structuring information
·
Project
work:
Project work is achieving knowledge and skills
by analysing, interpreting, synthesizing information and doing a summary from a
subject or centre of interest chosen by the student.
We think that the most interesting methodology
for teaching entrepreneurship is a blended of these three methodologies
highlighting the project work.
Form ENTANGLE Consortium we have developed a
training program that takes into account this approach. We put the training
program in the intersection of the three types of skills. We call this cross
ENTANGLE UP.
