Fomentando o respeto polo medioambiente e a reciclaxe en dous colectivos en risco de exclusión social a través do aprendizaxe-servizo

Abstract

[Resumo] Neste traballo recóllense tres experiencias ApS realizadas no curso 2016/2017 co alumnado das materias Fundamentos de Física (1ºcurso) e Deseño e Procesado con Polímeros (4º curso) do Grado en Enxeñaría de Deseño Industrial e Desenvolvemento do Produto. O obxectivo era que o alumnado acadase certas competencias académicas e transversais da materia ao mesmo tempo que realizaba unha tarefa en beneficio de tres colectivos en risco de exclusión social; nenos/as con baixo rendemento académico, adultos desempregados e mulleres árabes. Para estes colectivos os estudantes prepararon e impartiron un taller; que no caso das nenas e dos nenos pretendía fomentar neles o respecto polo medioambiente e o pensamento crítico, no caso dos adultos formalos para a busca de emprego no sector dos plásticos e a reciclaxe e, no caso das mulleres árabes, fomentar os valores de convivencia social e o respecto polo medioambiente. O emprego desta ferramenta metodolóxica favoreceu a adquisición de competencias nos estudantes, a avaliación das mesmas polo docente, a relación profesor-estudante e a formación dos estudantes non só en contidos senón tamén en valores

[Abstract] This works includes three service-learning experiences carried out in the 2016/2017 course with students of Engineering Degree in Industrial Design and Product Development. The subjects involved in the experiences were Fundamentals of Physics (1st year) and Design and Processing with Polymers (4th year) subjects. The objective was that the students achieve certain academic and transversal skills related with the subjects and, at the same time, carried out a task for the benefit of three groups at risk of social exclusion; children with low academic performance, unemployed adults and Arabian immigrant women. For each group, the students designed and taught a workshop. In the case of children, it was intended to encourage them environment respect and critical thinking; in the case of adults, to train them for searching job in plastic and recycling industries and in the case of arabian women, promote the values of social coexistence and environment respect. This methodology favoured skill acquisition in the students, the assessment by teacher, the teacher-student relationship and the training of students not only in content but also in values.
