From the first day, we have learnt many different things in Didactics classes. The first day Mina gave us some questions to answer and this was a good work because I had to think on things that I had never care about before. Some of the questions were the meaning of education for us, the definition of primary education, of teaching, of learning… and I had to think a lot.
The second day we learnt the main aims of education (social development, equal opportunity, preparation for work, democracy, parental participation…) and we reflect on which were the most important for us.
Other day we had to read the LOE and LOMCE and compare them. We did this activity to understand the meaning of curriculum, the aims of education, how education has changed, the basic contents of schooling…
Another task we had to do was to read some articles about the thoughts of different philosophers, in order to know different points of view about the education and its aims.
Last day we were talking deeper about the curriculum and its levels. It has four levels: the first one is the difference between the national curriculum and the communities curriculum including the education aims, the development, the pedagogical methods, the objectives, competences, contents, methodology, assessment…
The second level is the Center’s Educational Project and the tools each school can use. The third level is the class programme where each teacher has to plan their subject, how they will teach it and with what objectives.
The last level is the special attention to children who need it because they have problems to follow a normal class, so they need special teachers and special classes to encourage their development.
Good reflection Eva. When you reflect on what you have learned, you make an insight on how you get knowledge. Think about the teaching exercise we've done and make an entry explaining what did you learn from it.
