This time I will have to make a big effort to think about my study programme since I left university several years ago and in time you end up remembering just the positive things specially when you consider that the decision made was the correct one.
Nevertheless, taking into account the curriculum that I had back then I remember it didn't prepare the future teachers to face disruptive students and even less to deal with a disruptive and crowded classroom environment, which sadly is the reality of many schools and makes the task of teaching a real challenge.
All methods, approaches and learning strategies were exemplified thinking of an ideal student in the perfect learning atmosphere, too unrealistic!!! At least for our country :(
In those years were possible to teach a subject at schools without having the degree via a special permit granted by Ministry of Education but only under the condition of being studying the corresponding major, so there were a few classmates of mine who were already working teaching at schools and they talked to the rest of us, even in front of our university teachers, to make us be aware of the educational reality and its many flaws.
I am completely unaware if the curriculum for pedagogies has been changed or modified but without any doubts subjects which provide the future colleagues the necessary tools to face the current educational system in depth and in truth should be mandatory (my opinion)
Regarding the length of the programme, I know a lot more now than when I just graduated, so you should never stop learning, always keep yourself curious; this is how I see it.
Concerning the faculty facilities and use of technology, I studied at a good big private university so there were no issues about that ;-P
I think is a very imortant issue in Chile that universities does not prepare their students for real situations.
ResponderBorrarTeacher, what a fantastic thing to have no problems with your faculty, my school is very ugly
ResponderBorrarThey should have teach how to control disruptive classes cause that's deffinately the reality, unless you´re working on a montessori/alternative education facility.
ResponderBorrarIs a picture so relatable of the actual situation hahah
ResponderBorrarI think that especially municipal schools don't have a perfect atmosphere to learning, and teachers have to be prepare for that.
ResponderBorrarI didn't know that, previously, you could do classes with a permission from the ministry :o
ResponderBorrarYour comment is very accurate to the reality because the future teachers are not prepared to front the reality of our educational system
ResponderBorrarThere is a big difference between private and public universities, especially in terms of infrastructure. Also, I think that universities in Chile doesn't prepare their students for real situations in daily life.
ResponderBorrarThe universities do not prepare their students for the real work life, the university is very theoretical and ideal.
ResponderBorrarThe phrase you mention that the methods, approaches and learning strategies are designed for an ideal student in the perfect learning atmosphere is very true. I think it's something worrying.
ResponderBorrarajaja it is normal that he does not remember, study in pre grade many years ago. it should be a point to relieve for the future teachers, to attend students in their multiple situations of risk.
ResponderBorrarI like how you think, you're right we should never stop learning.
ResponderBorrarYou are lucky because you don’t have problems with the infrastructure of your university! That’s so cool.
