My Experience

in

Kindergarten

I remember very well everything about that

period of my academic life, there was

something very lively in my mind, this is it

that in that time I made my first friends I

learned how to deal with other children and I

felt part of something bigger than my nuclear

family. I always participated in all kind of

performance, I mean for the teachers day,

independence day etc, I remember only happy

and good things about kindergarten.

My Experience in

Primary School

In that part of my academylife:

I learned many things likereading and expressingmyself in a correct way, thebasic math operations etc.

I used to having a greattime in the playgroundwith my classmates.

All I wanted to do in thattime was to be in theschool with my friendsand to learn everything Icould.

My experience in

High School

This is my favorite part of my academy life because, I made many friends a lot of them still are in touch with me.

The last part of high school I was very worried about my university choice.

I prepared myself very well for the PSU test.

Reflection

Taking in to account everything we commented in classes about the interviews, I can say that the goals that we will have as a teachers have to be very realistic and possible to achieve, because in the opposite case we only will be frustrated about that , also we have to set some rules to work in a very harmonic way in the classroom but it have to be made by the students.

Nursery

Class

Activity

Where do the animals go?

Create three areas, farm animals, pet animals, and animals. Using flash cards of several different animals, let the children place the animals they should go.

Remember that some animals can go in both places, it allows you to discuss the differences with children.

Constructivism

Constructivism is a psychological theory of knowledge whichargues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from theirexperiences. Constructivism is not a specific pedagogy, althoughit is often confused with constructionism, an educational theorydeveloped by Seymour Papert. Piaget's theory of constructivistlearning has had wide ranging impact on learning theories andteaching methods in education and is an underlying theme ofmany education reform movements. Research support forconstructivist teaching techniques has been mixed, with someresearch supporting these techniques and other researchcontradicting those results.

Case Study Nº1

In this case, I learned that we have to be very open mind and patient with students that coming from some others school with a low level of education, we have to find the way to make them good students, one way could be extra classes and inform to next level teacher their situation.

Case Study Nº3

With the Hannah's case I caught that we must to encourage our student to be goods students to avoid some problem of low motivation.

Of course if exist a problem with one student motivation , we have to have a meting with his/her parents to solve that problem in a good way.

Reflection about

Sexual Education

Nowadays to teach is more than givesome academic information to ourstudents, of course we have to teachthem in all the aspect of the life.

A very delicate issue is sexual educationthat involves the protecting of everychild, we have to tell them , they have tonot allow anyone to touch them, wehave to be very attentive to peoplearound them and also the behaviour ofthe children, because it can say a lot.

Critical Incidents

When a female student is expecting,that tell us that something was wrong,probably she or her partner were nottotally inform about prevented methodof embarrassing, that is a problemsometimes if she has not the support ofher family, in that cases exist a lot ofONG that can provide some help forthose young mothers, but the mostimportant thing is to know all theoption and manage the informationabout how to prevent that.

Bullying

Bullying is a problemthat always has been inthe school, but latelythe internet resourceshave shown how cruelthose can be, so themost important thing isto make the studentunderstand that is notthe way to coexistamong classmates,indeed, all the peopleare different and that iswhat make everyonespecial in some way, sobullying is an archaicway to exclude peopleto feel superiority overothers.
