Qué actividades y qué procedimientos utiliza y valora el profesorado de Educación Primaria

Abstract

This study endeavours to learn which activities are used by Primary School teachers as well as the purpose of using them. A poll was conducted among more than 500 teachers who state that they carry out different activities, even though it turned out that those textbook activities which involve the use of pen and pencil and whose objective is to develop conceptual contents have a greater presence, whereas the procedures themselves were hardly mentioned at all. A lesser number of teachers, a total of 87, valued different kinds of procedures, the most considered ones being those which correspond to skills of communication, observation and organisation of information, while those procedures that are of an intellectual nature and that involve manipulative skills were the least appreciated ones.
