Initial reflection on School and Education

Initial reflection on School and Education --Four levels of reflection--


You are going to write on the following aspects in order to discover the factors which have influenced your personal and teaching identity.

The way of writing should be like a diary. As there are four levels of depth, you should have a notebook (better a flexible one) where you will write not only these reflections but your observations and school practice diary-notes.

First level:

I. Your teaching identity in development:
- Your family experiences when you were a young child
- Your experiences with teachers
- Your experiences at school

- Meaning from your family experiences
- Meaning from your experiences with teachers
- Meaning from your experiences at school

- Family models
- Positive teaching models
- Negative teaching models

- Developmet of your teaching philosophy

- Ideas about child-adult relationships
- Ideal teaching strategies
- Ideal teaching context


Second level:

II. Think and write about the following items during your school practice, referring to the most positive and negative aspects, organising them around the following points:
1.The kind of teaching (focus on the teacher)
2.The kind of learning (focus on the learner)
3.The material organisation of the classroom
4.The kind of activities implemented
5.The social and affective aspects inside the classroom: Teacher-pupil(s) and pupil-pupil(s) interaction
6.The social relationships with the community external to the school (parents, ethnic communities, associations…)
7.Teacher training and education


Third Level

III. Compare your responses in point II with your personal experience as a pupil. Are there many differences and changes? In what aspects?

Fourth level:

IV. What would you recommend to change for improving school and education? How could it be done? Individually? Collectively?

Tras los resultados electorales de la primera vuelta se ha producido un acuerdo de las candidaturas de Antonio Alvar, José Morilla y Manuel Peinado para concurrir unidas en la segunda vuelta. Los tres candidatos han acordado unánimemente las directrices generales y el proyecto de Universidad, que pasa sobre todo por una ruptura con el continuismo y una apuesta por un cambio en la dirección de la misma.
En la reunión que ha tenido lugar la mañana del viernes 5 entre miembros de las tres candidaturas, se ha llegado al acuerdo de unir los tres equipos y generar un proyecto único que bajo el lema Unidos por la Universidad, y así concurrirán el 10 de marzo.
Desde las tres candidaturas se destaca que el proyecto conjunto ha obtenido un apoyo mayoritario en la primera vuelta, más de un 50%, y piden a los que les han votado, profesores, estudiantes y personal de administración y servicios, que unan sus fuerzas en la segunda vuelta para la candidatura de Manuel Peinado.
