DRAMATIZATION AS AN INNOVATIVE EXPERIENCE FOR SCIENCE SUBJECTS IN UNIVERSITY EDUCATION

The students of the Bachelor's Degree in Primary Education (BDPE) have a very heterogeneous natural science background and sometimes, they drag certain prejudices towards the Science subjects because they consider them outside their future professional field. However, Natural Sciences constitutes a core subject in the Primary Education stage, according to the curriculum, and therefore, as future teachers they must teach the subject for two hours per week. An innovative way of approaching the scientific world without fear, is to use dramatization experiences, through which in addition to developing their basic and specific skills as future teachers, they learn in a creative and meaningful way a specific topic of the subject Teaching Natural Sciences. In this experience developed with students of the BDPE of the Public University of Navarra, it is shown how it is possible to use dramatization in science subjects to learn specific subjects of natural sciences, in a playful atmosphere. Finally, a questionnaire was carried out to the students after the activity to assess the experience, considering it an innovative proposal, highly creative and applicable to their future teaching practice.
