Hi guys!
The last star is here! I am Alicia Gomis and I have a lot of things to tell
you.
First of
all I want to say that I consider that this has been one of our best tasks due
to or easy coordination and our final work, it was excelent! Secondly, on Monday
I was really afraid to be the last star, but fortunately two star would be in
charge of the task this time, and I have to say that working with Marina is
always a pleasure because she always knows what to do in each moment.
Well in
this task we were in charge of compare two new texts: “Estructuras para el trabajo y la cordinación
de los profesores en los centro” by M· Teresa González and “Los centros
educativos como organizaciones que aprenden: una mirada crítica” by Antonio
Bolívar, with the two of Complexity in school and
the different connections. With this information what we had to do was a
poster, and present it on Wednesday on Speed Learning form. So both, Marina and
me prepared our speech with the other Chalkies’ help.
This is my
improved part of the speech, Marina is going to show you the other part on her
post, don’t miss it please!
Now you
can read:
“As you
know, the school is a complex context y which different relationships occur,
and that’s what happen between teacher and student. They learn from each other
due to the fact of teacher-student connection.
How
teachers teach has a great influence on student achievement. As we have
difficult contexts, we have different relatioships and as you can see in the
text “Schools organized” those relationships are different depending on the
school level. In primary education we find that teachers teach more than one
subject, the relationship with students is better and closer because they spend
more time together. In schools, students see their teachers not only as a way
of tranmision of the knowledge but also as a person they can count with.
Meanwhile in Secondary Education teachers spend less time with students because
they specialize just in one subject, as a result the relationship teacher-student
is different.
Not only
teacher and student take part on the school context but also the learning and
the whole class relationship. So as Antonio
Bolívar says in his text, it is
not enough that the teacher have a lot of knowledge about his subject if he doesn't
know how to interact with the students. Teacher must transmit his knowledge to
the students, so students begin to familiarize theirself with the new concepts
(learning) and at the same time, they exchange views with other peers, so the
class work as a group, there is cooperation. That means that there are different factors involved in the
Organization of a school and that these factors must be connected together.
Talking about the school as an organization, we haave seen
in the Antonio Bolivar’s text that it could be an organization that learn due
to the fact that an organization (in this case the school) improves, and consequently, learns, when the
learning is seen at different levels; individual, group, and system learning.
So that way can accomplish the desired and benefitial organization for
everyone.
In contrast, we have also found in the other text that there
is a big mistake in the organization of the school that produce isolated
teachers and a lack of cooperation between them. The reason of that is the
physical disposition of school centers, because as they don´t have a space to
work together, beyond the classroom, they spend the most of their time here, in
the physical classrooms.”
And that’s all, I have to say goodbye again, but this is the
last time.
There have been a lot of good moments and also bad ones because
it’s not easy to work in cooperative groups during an entire term, eventhough I
love my mates you know, but sometimes a really would like to kill them!
I hope you have enjoy reading our posts these weeks like we
have done doing them!
See you bloggers, I’ll miss you!
