Methodological strategy for addressing cultural traditions: Flipped Classroom model
To foster active and meaningful learning, a methodology based on the flipped classroom approach will be implemented. This strategy will allow students to gain a preliminary understanding of the content, fostering greater engagement during in-person sessions.
Implementation sequence:
Preliminary phase (at home): Activating initial interest and knowledge
- Students will be sent, through the educational platform, a selection of videos and photographs related to three Spanish cultural traditions presented from their current perspective.
- These materials will enable students to establish an initial connection with the traditions and engage in prior reflection in a private and autonomous environment.
Selection Phase (in the classroom): Interest Grouping
- At the beginning of the class session, students must enroll in the group corresponding to the tradition that sparked their most curiosity, motivation, or interest after viewing the resources.
- This selection fosters personal involvement and autonomous development by allowing each student to engage in content that is meaningful to them.
Cooperative Research Phase (Group Work): Deepening Knowledge
- Each group will be given a dossier that will guide cooperative research on the selected tradition, addressing historical, symbolic, artistic, and cultural aspects. It will include the objects they will study to understand the tradition and, by extension, its significance in Spanish culture.
Presentation Phase (Sharing)
- Each group will share the results of their research with the rest of the class through a creative presentation, oral presentation, dramatization, or digital format.
- This phase allows for the collective construction of knowledge, as well as the development of communicative, social, and cultural skills.
