Abstract:
The following experience was carried out during the academic year 2020-2021, at the Faculty of Education of Bilbao. At the end of the second semester, when most of the time for the subject "Natural Sciences in the Primary Education Classroom I" (CNI) had gone by, the students were required to compile, in groups, most of its contents and translate them into a model that referred to a real Biscayan school of their choice. The subject corresponds to the 1st year of the Primary Education Degree. Thus, hopefully, the CNI students will become Primary Education teachers soon. The students were given the time to work in groups and order their notes and discuss and/or complete them, choose the centre and assemble the model. They were informed it would be marked.
In general the students successfully fulfilled the task: they revised the subject and worked on it in groups to choose, within its contents, which and how it would be shown in the model of the school they had chosen. Besides, some of them recorded or wrote an explanation of their model and some other garnished it with QR labels that gave additional information. Keywords:
