Beyond the classroom. An analysis of field trips for teaching floods from the perspective of pre-service teachers
Abstract
The 2024 DANA, which has severely affected the province of Valencia with a toll of 227 fatalities, has highlighted the need to strengthen education on flood risk. This study aims to analyse different field works proposals designed to address this issue in Primary Education. To this end, 13 proposals developed by students of the Bachelor's Degree in Primary Education at the University of Valencia (Spain) over six academic years (2019-2020 to 2024-2025) have been reviewed. These activities were designed by student groups from various specializations (Arts and Humanities, Physical Education, Science and Mathematics, Therapeutic Pedagogy) related to topics such as climatology, natural hazards, and water resources. The results reveal that 53.8% of the field works address these proposals through fundamental knowledge, such as flood risk, while 23.1% focus on climate change. However, half of them do not include risk cartography in their materials, and those that do use tools like the viewer of the PATRICOVA and SNCZI. Additionally, half of the proposals refer to historical floods and encourage students to propose solutions. In conclusion, these experiences are essential for geographic education, although it is crucial to improve the use of cartography and the formulation of solutions to enhance socio-territorial resilience in the face of present and future climate change scenarios.
