    Dificultades específicas del aprendizaje en Educación Primaria: la importancia de la formación de los futuros docentes
    (Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia, Consejería de Educación y Cultura, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Hernández Pallarés, Lorenzo Antonio; Moñino Belando, Laura
    En este artículo pretendemos abordar la importancia que tiene la formación de los futuros docentes con relación a su labor profesional dentro del actual sistema educativo y cómo pueden influir en la enseñanza de los alumnos que presentan dificultades especificas del aprendizaje (DEA) dentro del aula ordinaria. Para ello, realizamos un análisis de las guías docentes del grado de Educación Primaria en la Universidad de Murcia, así como una entrevista a 18 alumnos matriculados en el último curso para comprobar el nivel de relación entre los créditos destinados a la enseñanza de DEA y su aprendizaje por parte de los futuros docentes. Asimismo, a partir de los resultados, exponemos una serie de aspectos que consideramos que podrían mejorar la calidad de la formación dentro del grado de Educación Primaria y la obtención de una consolidación dentro de las competencias del futuro docente.

    Why has the water turned green?” a problem of eutrophication in primary school
    (2022-10-21) Banos-González, Isabel; Esteve-Guirao, Patricia; Valverde-Pérez, Magdalena; Ruiz-Navarro, Ana; Didáctica de las Ciencias Experimentales
    This paper analyses how 224 students from the fifth and sixth grade recognise the key aspects, i.e., the causes, consequences, and solutions of the eutrophication problem affecting the relevant ecosystem in their region. Two instruments were used: a report sheet in which students work through the causes and consequences associated with the problem; and a personal letter addressed to the competent authority, which proposes solutions. The results show that students from the sixth grade recognised more complete interconnections between the agricultural development of the area and the changes that occurred in the ecosystem. In the identification of the key phases of the eutrophication process, students from both courses presented similar difficulties. Regarding the solutions, some reluctance was observed to limit agricultural activity. This reveals that students’ social perceptions about the importance of agriculture for their region may be a possible influence on their solutions. Finally, five models were established regarding the understanding that students reach of the problem as a whole. More than half of students were included in the same model, comprising those who were able to adequately identify the causes and whole process of eutrophication, as well as those who defended the advantages of the proposed solution. Educational implications are discussed in this paper.
