Teaching Natural Sciences through Montessori Method in Primary Education

Abstract

This final degree report pretends to investigate and analyze what is CLIL (Content and language integrated learning) and what is Montessori Method in order to design a primary education Natural Science didactic proposal joining and combining these two concepts (CLIL and Montessori Method). The body part of this report is divided in two different but related parts. The first one exposes the theoretical bases of the concepts mention above. Moreover, in the second part and following these theoretical bases, I provide a Natural Science didactic proposal named “The plants”, designed to be developed with pupils of 1st grade of primary education. The report concludes with some reflections about its elaboration as well as I mention and consider its scope and possible limitations.
