TRABAJANDO EL ODS5 Y LA COMPETENCIA GLOBAL CON UN TEXTO DE CONCHA LINARES BECERRA

Abstract

This paper presents activities designed for a literature class in Secondary Education (specifically, 3rd year of ESO) in Spain, but can be used in other contexts. The activities are based on a text by the Spanish writer Concha Linares Becerra, and they are related to Sustainable Development Goal 5 (“Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”), focusing on employment equality. The objectives of the activities are also related to global competence, that is the ability and willingness to understand and act on matters of local, global, and intercultural relevance, respecting all people and contributing to the common good and sustainable development. The proposed activities intend to cultivate certain thinking dispositions, starting from observation and leading to reasoning and questioning, establishing connections between past and present events. Activities directly related to literature learning objectives are also included. The article begins by explaining the SDGs adopted by the United Nations Organization and how they are also related to global competence. The objectives, methodology and evaluation are then established, using various sources to determine the objectives related to the SDGs and the global competence that concern the activities presented. As for the methodology and evaluation, the “visible thinking routines” and “project learning” methodologies are used, which are briefly described; after that, the proposed activities are shown in detail, following the pre-activity, activity, and post-activity format. The activities involve literary aspects and others directly related to SDG5 and global competence.
