El APS como herramienta en el desarrollo de competencias en cooperación internacional en la formación inicial de docentes AICLE en Primaria.

Abstract

This work is based on the implementation of the Service-Learning project "Comprehensive Education in Lebanon," developed in collaboration with the NGO 26 Letters, in the fourth year of the Bachelor's Degree in Primary Education at the University of Burgos (UBU), through the courses Reading Animation in English in Primary Education and Research and Innovation in Learning about Social and Natural Environment, based on the CLIL approach, using an English-language picture book as a starting point. The study focused on evaluating the acquisition of competencies in international cooperation among the students. To achieve this, a mixed methodology was employed: quantitative, through the S-LOMS questionnaire administered before and after the implementation, and qualitative, through the analysis of students' portfolios. The project's results show a significant improvement in competencies related to community engagement, critical thinking, and knowledge application. These improvements highlight the effectiveness of Service-Learning projects and underscore the importance of promoting an education that not only addresses academic learning but also the development of essential skills for active and responsible participation in a global community. The combination of methodologies provided a comprehensive and detailed view of the project's benefits, emphasizing the ability of these approaches to enrich the training of future teachers of English and better prepare them to face the challenges of education in an increasingly interconnected, plurilingual and pluricultural world.
