The COMETA educational innovation project aims to promote the acquisition of professional teaching skills by using active methodologies in the initial training of teachers. It is designed to bring the training that students receive at university closer to the real demands of the educational system, society and the labour market through active teaching methodologies such as Design Thinking and Podcast to develop key skills. Fundamentally, skills in linguistic, multilingual, digital, personal, social and learning-to-learn communication, citizenship, entrepreneurship and cultural awareness and expression will be promoted. The mismatch between university education and the labour market has been highlighted in several studies and continues to be a problem today. That is why, to the extent of our possibilities and as those responsible for the academic training of future teachers, we aim to offer students up-to-date, useful and quality training. The need for greater connection between higher education institutions and professional work institutions (companies, media, educational, cultural or social entities) has led to a paradigm shift in teaching methodologies, so that the aim is no longer to simply transmit content but to apply it in a real environment, while promoting the development of student competences. This proposal is adapted to the training of teachers in different subjects of the degree in Early Childhood and Primary Education Teachers and to the Masters in Secondary Education Teaching and Specific Didactics of the University of Valencia. During the 2024-25 academic year, it will be extended to the students of the Degree in Journalism at the University of Valencia.

Description

The active methodologies used are Design Thinking and Podcast. Design thinking is conceived as a methodological tool to be carried out within the teaching program of the subjects involved. Specifically, educational challenges will be posed to the student to provide solutions to social, cultural and sustainability-related needs or problems using music, language (Valencian and English) and communication. These areas are closely related to the performing arts projects with cultural and social projection. The challenges that can be posed will be related to the Sustainable Development Goals. In this sense, the aim is to collaborate with the Culture on Campus (Concert Hall) activity cycle and the UV's Green Campus Podcast.
