Active methodologies in the Social Sciences in the first year of Compulsory Secondary.

Abstract

This article describes an educational experience with students in the first year of Compulsory Secondary Education, in the area of Social Sciences. Based on the use of active methodologies and a gamified environment, its interest lies in the fact that it is not an experience of a single didactic unit, but of the entire curriculum, and implemented over three school years (including the months of confinement by COVID). In addition to a description of the methodology, resources, means and processes, an assessment is included based on the academic performance of the pupils, their degree of motivation and the satisfaction of their parents.
