Evolución Histórica en el Uso de las Fuentes de Energía

PROJECT
FINISHED
The project EHUFE(Historical Evolution in the Use of Energy Sources) arises
from the reflection related to the finiteness of the natural resources which are
within our reach.The three participating schools(IES Galileo-Galilei,Lyceé
Clemenceau and I LO Mikolaja Kopernica) have shown on their previous touch
a great inquisitiveness about the historical and current problem of the energy
sources. In addition,two of them (Spain and Poland) represent old coal regions
that are in a serious crisis,which have been supported by means of an
industrial restructuring aimed for the alternative energy development,and the
third one,France,which is connected to renewable resources related to the
sea.
Our project expects,first of all,to MAKE KNOWN all related to the evolution of
energy sources to understand the existing interrelationship between the
consumption and the industrialization throughout the history in itself of the
human progress.From the use of wood to produce heat,going through the
use of coal and oil up to renewable resources.Secondly ,APPROACH,
from a broad and multidisciplinary point of view,the use of the current energy
sources,their applications and cost,and last but not least,from the premise of
a sustainable development search,MAKE our students AWARE of the respect
towards the Environment.
The participants are the three schools aforementioned.The project expects to
join an approximate number of 25 students per school,that is to say a total of
75 students.We must add the participation of the faculty (teaching staff),who
in an approximate number of 3 per school,will accompany the students on
their journeys,and a broader number of teachers,who,at their corresponding
schools,will organize and carry out the activities along with the students.
We have tried the scheduled activities to be varied and rewarding.Thus,we have
on-line activities related to the contents training,work to do at the school itself,
broadcasting activities related to this kind of work,experiments or research,trips
which include visits to museums and companies connected to the energy field,
etc.Obviously,the key activities are the journeys which the different groups will
make to the participating countries,since,in addition to carrying out the
scheduled activities regarding to energy sources,will turn out to be a unique
experience on the linguistic coexistence and multiculturalism spheres.
Similarly to the previously mentioned,the methodology we are going to use is
expected to be varied and attractive.From the prior knowledge which the
student body has about energy sources,we are going to use an inductive and
dynamic methodology,in which the student, by means of the suggested
activities,can discover little by little the historical and current use we make of
energy sources.To this effect,we are going to use computer tools,such as
digital platforms(E-Twinning),websites,specific programmes (exelearning),
search and experimenting activities (Hidrógeno);journeys and visits to Work
Centres etc.And all of it dressed by the use of English as lingua franca of the
project.
Througout the process,and especially at the end of itself,we have the hope of:
1.Communicating successfully in English.
2.Knowing the evolution of the use of the different ways of energy.
3.Approaching to the use of the ways of energy carried out in our respective
countries.
4.Reflecting about the need of a sustainable development.
5.Broading the energy vocabulary.
6.Team working.
7.Participating actively in debates in a respectful and ordered manner.
8.Being responsible for their own work.
9.Settling conclusions and self-assessing their work.
10.Knowing the behavior and customs of a country different to theirs.
The impact caused in a short term on the part of students can have an effect on
benefit of the local communities, to which they belong,and,at the same time,on
EU itself.This will be that way,if ,as we expect,our behavior towards the use of
energy sources gets modified,aimed to the awareness of the finiteness of most
of them and the responsible use of those we have within our reach.
Finally,if we all succeed in reaching the suggested goals,it will be slightly easier
to obtain a sustainable development which enables us to live in a cleaner and a
bit better world.
