Taller de arqueología y prehistoria para profesores de primaria y secundaria


El pasado 11 de marzo de 2021, nuestra socia Dr. Sofía Samper Carro organizó el primer taller en prehistoria y arqueología para profesores de primaria y secundaria en ACT, con más de 30 asistentes.

El principal objetivo de este taller fue trabajar con los profesores nuevas formas de presentar a sus alumnos conceptos como la cronología y la estratigrafía, claves en estudios arqueológicos y que a través de actividades participativas y entretenidas, pueden ser incluidas en el curriculum de una forma didáctica.

El modelo de Sofía se centra en la idea de ‘teach the teachers’, proponiendo que los profesores obtengan los conocimientos necesarios para poder convertir a los alumnos en los actores principales dentro de las actividades, favoreciendo el aprendizaje a través de la practica.

Este taller fue organizado en colaboración con la ACT History Teachers Association y la Canberra Archaeology Society, subvencionado por el ARC-Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage.

El segundo taller de esta serie se llevará a cabo el 27 de mayo de 2021, centrado en los temas el contexto y los artefactos arqueológicos.
