RUCKSACK 2.0: "Recreation of a journey through literature"

The activity consists of preparing a metaphorical rucksack in which the students incorporate symbolic objects related to the works and contents studied in the course. This rucksack is then presented to their classmates as part of an imaginary journey against a literary backdrop.

APRENDRE EN LA UNIVERSITAT A TRAVÉS DE MALETES PEDAGÒGIQUES

Learning with suitcases in the university context is conceived as an imaginary journey through the pedagogical theories of contemporary education. It is a didactic proposal devised by Pablo Álvarez Domínguez, Professor of Theory and History of Education at the University of Seville. The adventure of the journey, as a pedagogical metaphor, helps to keep students actively learning throughout the entire teaching process. Each of the classes is part of a particular journey in which, with the help of an interactive pedagogical map, students learn about places, characters from the history of pedagogy and different educational theories of the 20th century, which in the future will be transferable to the different situations that teachers will have to face in their teaching practice. The student travellers - with compass and ticket in hand - and in a collaborative way, experience an innovative adventure of constructive and experiential learning that is carried out collaboratively.

Throughout the didactic experience, students are made aware of the importance of pedagogical ideas in the construction of educational knowledge. We start from the learning needs of a future teacher, we question them through a pedagogy of questioning, and we invite them to generate new pedagogical projects, creating new ways of learning and interacting with historical educational knowledge. Through continuous creative pedagogy workshops, work is carried out to ensure that the knowledge transmitted to the students can be transferred from an artistic point of view to the design and elaboration, through the "pedagogy of the hands", of a set of pedagogical objects linked to the main contents of the subject being taught. The pupils, in teams, will be putting together a bag of creations of educational objects of an artistic nature, which they will have to put into a pedagogical suitcase to be used later in the final phase of the subject, which consists of making public the result of the work carried out through a theatrical performance open to all audiences and families, with their own script on the contents taught during the journey traced out in the course of the subject in question.
