VIRTUAL: Applying Education
Abstract
The Covid19 pandemic requires us to make new efforts to maintain quality at all educational levels. In universities, in general, various forms of competitive funds are available to support projects of a different nature, including educational innovation. Particularly, in the case of mathematics teaching, we know that innovation requires more than refresher workshops or training. Innovation, in general, requires skills and attitudes that involve investigating, studying, researching, imagining, testing and taking risks in front of students and colleagues, in the search for better learning. In this context, we had the opportunity to participate and organize various workshops aimed at promoting modernization and innovation projects in mathematics teaching, and the systematization of these training experiences naturally led us to reformulate and improve our proposal, going through training and updating, but complementing it with monitoring and follow-up of the implementation of the educational innovation proposal. In general terms, we propose the creation of workshops, whose organization implies that the participants inform themselves, study, learn, but also that they elaborate, discuss and even implement pilots of their projects, for this reason their development and structuring is not conventional. We will explain the characteristics, stages and requirements of these modular workshops that we suggest that they be organized according to the needs of the group of teachers who propose to carry out an educational innovation.
