A educación matemática a prol da responsabilidade social universitaria

Abstract

[Resumo] Preséntase unha iniciativa de Aprendizaxe e Servizo desenvolvida durante o curso 2017-2018 na materia Educación Matemática I do 1o. curso do Grao en Educación Primaria. Consta de varias compoñentes: unha refírese á formación académica dos estudantes, que poñen en práctica os contidos teóricos da materia impartidos nas clases universitarias. Outra é o fomento da igualdade de oportunidades en canto á educación de colectivos de rapaces e rapazas en situación potencial de exclusión social. E a última concrétase no xerme dunha rede ampla de colaboración entre a Universidade da Coruña e distintas entidades que actúan en ámbitos diversos. A través de diversas actividades co eixo vertebrador da Educación Matemática, se intenta cumprir as demandas das entidades receptoras do servizo, incidindo na responsabilidade social universitaria e intentando mellorar de forma efectiva as condicións sociais da contorna na que se insire a universidade. Os resultados obtidos son entre outros a mellora da formación dos estudantes como futuros docentes, coñecendo e resolvendo as dificultades que implica o carácter inherentemente cambiante das situacións reais e as necesidades específicas de cada colectivo. A nivel social, xulgamos que os resultados para os colectivos destinatarios foron favorables, dado que as distintas entidades avaliaron a experiencia positivamente.

[Abstract] In this work we expose a Service-Learning activity that was developed in the academic year 2017-2018 in the subject Mathematics Education I of the Primary Education Degree. It consists of several components: one refers to the academic training of the students, who put into practice the theoretical contents of the subject taught in the university classes. Another is the promotion of equal opportunities in terms of the education of communities in risk of social exclusion. The last one is to increase the collaboration network between the University of A Coruña and different entities that act in diverse fields. Through some activities related to Mathematics Education, it is tried to fulfill the demands of the entities receiving the service, focusing on the university social responsibility trying to effectively improve the social conditions of the environment in which the university is inserted. Some results obtained are the improvement of the students' training as future teachers, knowing and solving the difficulties implied by the inherently changing nature of the real situations and the specific needs of each group. Also, we judge that the results for the communities of the service were positive, given that the different entities evaluated the experience positively
