Abstract
Durante el curso anterior un equipo de la UCM en el marco de un proyecto previo INNOVA-Docencia UCM instauró en España de manera pionera la iniciativa de aprendizaje activo Small World Initiative, de origen norteamericano. Los objetivos de esta iniciativa son (1) Crear cultura científica y acercar la investigación biomédica a niveles educativos en los que los estudiantes tienen aún capacidad de decisión sobre su futura orientación formativa con el fin de fomentar la vocación en I+D; y (2) Promover la concienciación social sobre el uso racional de los antibióticos y la amenaza de la resistencia bacteriana a estos fármacos. En el entorno español se propuso implementar esta estrategia mediante Aprendizaje-Servicio. En esta segunda edición (SWI@UCM 2.0) se ha trabajado en la consolidación, expansión y mejora del proyecto, con énfasis en la integración de los diversos niveles educativos que integran el proyecto (universitario y preuniversitario) y la divulgación científica.
In the previous course a UCM Faculty team within the frame of an INNOVA-Docencia UCM pioneered in Spain the Small World Initiative, a project based on active learning that started in the USA. Its objectives were (1) to create scientific culture and bring biomedical R&D to education levels in which students can still take curricular choices, thus potentiating vocations for STEM degrees; and (2) to promote social awareness on the sensible use of antibiotics and the threat of bacterial resistance. In the Spanish environment, we opted for implementing the strategy by service-learning. In this second edition (SWI@UCM 2.0) we have worked in the consolidation, spreading and improvement of the project, with special focus in the integration ob both educational levels involved (universitary and pre-universitary) and scientific communication.
