Education is successful when you are an educated person and you can behave yourself... isn't it?

It has been a while since I wrote my last entry, and there are many things that I would like to talk about related to this subject's lessons. 

On May 19th, I had a written exam. We had to study about Education Purposes from the Curriculum, Labelling and "How to be a boring teacher?" for that classwork. At first I was very nervous because I had so many ideas about everything I had studied and I did not know how to organise them, but then I calmed myself down and I was able to analyze the exercises deeply.

On May 26th, we had a very interesting lesson. We had to read a set of copies that talked about how discipline, authority and coexistance were broadcast at traditional schools and today's schools.

I read something from that set of copies that caught my eye. It was something that Friederich Nietzsche thought. Nietzsche was a German philosopher who is considered one of the most influential contemporary thinkers of the 19th century. He thought that education is successful when you are an educated person and you can behave yourself. 

Plato also thought that an educated person is the one who lets the soul rule his actions so that it can pursue the ruling of the person.

I think that these are very interesting points of view because teachers not only teach contents about the diverse subjects, but they also teach meaningful values. It is very important to teach all these things because a student can be very smart, but if they behave wrong they are not very well educated.

Anyways, that's MY point of view. I really hope you enjoy reading this entry and I promise I will improve my writing!


Yours sincerely,

First entry

The first thing I would like to say is that this is the most exciting assignment I have ever been given.

My teacher of Espacio de la Práctica Docente has set an interesting task for us to do. We are supposed to create a blog and try to have a weekly entry in which we have to write about the things that we find interesting about that subject's lessons and other things that have to do with teaching. Now, I would like to introduce myself.

I am Lucía Victoria Contreras. I am 19 years old and I live in Berazategui. I have been studying English since I was 8 years old and I am absolutely in love with this language. My mother was the one who paid for my English lessons at a School of English and I could not be more grateful for her decision. Last year, I started a course at UBA but while I was studying for some exams in November, I realised that I really missed studying English and that I wanted to become a Teacher of English. I have always liked teaching English to people but I did not feel confident enough to study at a Teacher Education Program until January of this year. 
It has been a month since I started studying at ISFD Y T Nº24 and I could not be happier. I enjoy studying for every single subject and I hope to become an amazing teacher and learn lots of things throught the entire course.

Last class was very interesting. We saw a film, "Freedom Writers". I had already seen it a few years ago but I did not remember that it was so violent. The film reflected the life of students that lived very chaotic situations and were not really interested in their own education. A new teacher was hired for their class and throughout the years they increase their interest in their education and become smart and caring students who support each other and believe that they could be able to go to college. 

I loved watching that movie because it really inspired me to become a caring and amazing teacher just like the one in the film. I believe that teachers should develop methods that actively involve students in learning.

That is all for today. I hope you are able to understand what I am trying to say and if not, I am sorry :( .
