HOW TO BECOME A GOOD TEACHER?
ReplyDeleteAnciently, in Greece the education was personal and free, who wanted learn, looked for the way to learn, unlike to slaves, they should study for obligation and the education represented a pain, if they did not learn, they were beaten.
Now, normally, the school in Latin America is considered a bored place because still it is based on the traditional education. As a result, we have teachers focus in teach topics and contents, we have teachers that always have the reason and, they never allow the real development of their students. Also, we have teachers interested in promote the competence and selfless in listen their students.
Thus, we as teachers must change thoughts about that, so, students are not machines, are not numbers, for that reason, is not possible assign a grade to a person, because each individual is unique. Conversely, we must promote a personal growth because educate is not train.
José Joaquín García thinks that the emotions cannot separate of the learning, but it is an important aspect because in that way the knowledge can be internalized. He proposes make of the education a sensitive experience through literature, cinema, painting, music, theater and dance in order to make the education more complete.
equally, in my opinion we as teachers must destroy paradigms and stereotypes, and we need to create a new way to teach using deductive or inductive methods. I think thebest is the inductive method because it means, motivate the student to have autonomy in the learning process questioning everything in order to they want to search information about on a given topic. Thus, now the education is focus in the student.

ReplyDeleteHow to become a good teacher?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the video “La educación prohibida”. Nowadays, most of teachers only worry about training “Machines” that work for others, forgetting people’s feelings. This is to say some teachers forget that their job is above all to help on the construction of people.
First of all, I believe to be a good teacher requires devoting time and using the suitable materials, elements and strategies. I think that I must be meticulous in order to use different strategies that help on the construction of people that are able to face up the world and contribute to the success of a society because before knowing and doing, I must learn to be a good person in order to be able to do the same with my students. In my opinion, this is not enough that a teacher has knowledge and many qualifications, if he doesn’t know what is to be a person.
In addition, the education has come facing many changes. In the past, the teachers used to be the authority in the classroom; everybody had to obey them, but it was only in the past. Now in the 21st century, experts on the subject think that teachers must be facilitators of knowledge because students’ needs require teachers who are able to suggest changes, new ideas and implement new methods in order to improve the teaching and the learning of different subjects.
To sum up, I think that the society wants teachers to be innovative, creative and competent when they must teach some topic, putting it into practice with real contexts because the new generations need teachers who are aware of the mistakes made in the past in order to suggest new alternatives in the present that motivate to the students to fight for their ideals in the future.
How to become a good teacher?
ReplyDeleteToday, education is one of the most important issues in our society, the need for learning that goes beyond just transferring knowledge, has led to many people interested in researching what is the best form of teaching.
In first instance, being a good teacher can be the most rewarding and exciting job in the world - however, to become a great teacher you must love this job because if it isn’t your passion can be stressful and exhausting.
I really believe that good education is not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them to learn, and do it in a way that is relevant and meaningful. Good education is bridging the gap between theory and practice and remembering that each student is different, therefore a great teacher is able to make a daily reflection of things that must change to better organize your classroom and in the most appropriate manner.
One of the goals of education should be to foster learner autonomy making involved in the process, so by the right emotional stimulus, provided the necessary attention to learning, good teacher cares about discovering the strengths of their students and is able to propose strategies that help students foster these strengths. Some people believe that the best way is to follow the traditionalist education method, but must risk education to change and should change with society taking part of the technology to apply to instruction.
Lastly, a good teacher does not expect to see their students reveal their own ideals and expectations, otherwise a good teacher lets his student to develop as he can, not as your teacher wants. It is in this way that we can see real change in our society.
HOW TO BECOME A GOOD TEACHER?
ReplyDeleteToday being a teacher involves not only have gone to university or have an academic background to believe a good person in education, and that teachers should be aware that we are a model for all students and that we should not only be outstanding academic training but also the attitudes that they have and what they can feel in their family and social environment.
First of all, I think that this video shows the real face of education today, since education has become for politicians in something profitable and something they can take advantage and only think that students are numbers and should be well qualified, but that is not true because a number does not define the quality of people we are.
Additionally, it can be said that technology is advancing but teachers still the same traditionalists, is why we must change and innovate our way of teaching and it is for this reason that I suggest the following qualities of a good teacher:
1. Do not look at the number of students in a classroom and complain about this, we must try to find a way to reach everyone.
2. You have to earn the respect of the students with care, do not instill fear in them
.
3. The teacher must instill in students participation, since this way is better knowledge.
4. There must be dynamic, innovating in the classroom.
5. A part of instilling knowledge, we must try to help the student to be an excellent person in their moral, family and social attitude.
.
Finally, a good teacher should be one who not only look at the academic level of each student but tries each of them comes to excellence and if so it becomes better than the same teacher, striving for excellence and a person being integrated.
HOW TO BE A GOOD TEACHER?
ReplyDeleteThrough the time, education has suffered some changes and has experienced several types of pedagogy in its system. But, maybe that is the problem. Education is more seen as a system than a learning process. And is that, for me, it is more important a learning process in which all of the participants take main roles to generate new knowledge.
Society has turned the education in an obligation in order to survive in today's world. This has made that schools are only concentrated in producing machines who do not think and follow the system that oppresses them. Education has to be a space where the knowledge is not limited. This can generate a lot of different thoughts that are able to make a change in a manipulated world. Teachers are the only people who can make the difference and transform the students’ minds to look for a more just society. Teachers know students are the future society and they are able to change the reality.
I think a good teacher must be aware of that and create a place where all of the students are heard because a student is not an empty bucket that has to be filled with information, but a person who produce their own knowledge. Additionally, teachers are a guide. They have the responsibility to facilitate the understanding of the knowledge facing the problems that there are in the community. Teaching is not only to transmit new topics, teaching is to make minds change for future.
Finally, we know as teachers, we have a lot of challenges. Because of that, we need to be prepared to face those challenges for getting a real good education.
How to become a good teacher?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all is important to clear up the difference of teaching in ancient times an now, because it has changed in a significant way. In earlier times, teachers had the whole knowledge everything they said it was the last word. People thought, teachers just filled with knowledge empty minds and clearly, that idea is not the same nowadays because everyone has the way to access to the information.
Now we have many options as teachers to achieve that going to school enjoyable and at the same time is a challenge. Times have changed, our society has changed even so much fast than educational systems and in our new ideas, strategies and suggestions we can achieve improve or change that perception.
It is a hard job but, I think we are able to innovate and design new methods to make of our classes true learning environments. It is not to fill with knowledge our students, is teach them how to learn. We have to give tools, locations and possibilities to the students for creating an investigative spirit and improve: their criticizes, creative and autonomous abilities.
They are not just our students; they will be citizens of the future and we cannot be just teachers, we have to be a link for trying to transformer their minds, giving them liberty to express themselves but always respecting the opinion of others.
Finally, we have to take the challenge and face it like a continuous process that needs people able and determinate to change the world.
HOW TO BECOME A GOOD TEACHER?
ReplyDeleteThe video “ La educación prohibida” shows us the teaching is showed of traditional way where the teacher is the only has the reason and his/her student must do what the teacher says, besides there is lack of time to autonomy, personal expression and intention of the students into the school.
First of all, the evaluation system takes into account the observable and measurable aspects of student performance but also disregards many other capabilities. On the other hand, the teacher never asks to students about their opinions, he has no idea they feel, think or want to do. I think that if the education is guided for competences will allow the personal success in the students who will have better possibilities during their labor and professional life.
In my opinion learning true for the student is not what is learnt by force since it is kind of teaching prevent the true sense of education, for this reason, the school is like a tedious and boring space because the teachers do not create a comfortable environment, besides some teachers do not use the tics opportunely and at the moment these tools are necessary to take the attention of the students.
In adittion, the school should be a place where the children will have the opportunity to learn of fun way and where they can communicate their experiences in order to obtain good performances.I believe that a good teacher has to be innovator because he/she should motivate his/ her students in and out the classroom this way, the formation will be integral where the students show a good development of knowledge and of behavior. We are in an immersed world where we only take into account the knowledge the students have so we forgot the important and necessary things to live in society: the formation of people whit skills and critical mentality.
To sum up to be an excellent teacher I have to worry about giving the necessary importance what students feel and express, thus I as future teacher have taken into account each student is different and he has several and different hopes and for me is important to know that the target of the education is not grant knowledge but develop human capacities with the needs of each one of them. At the same time the education must be based in values and the school must help with the formation of people capable to bring to the reality and of this way they can contribute with a better world thus they achieve a better future in our country.

ReplyDeleteHOW TO BECOME A GOOD TEACHER?
DeleteCurrently, the be human had the intention of change the way of think about of the education. Although,the education has been become in a paradigm educative. By means of the initiative of to create news advances collective.
First of all, I think that the education should change because the society needs teachers that support the ideas of search and follow learning the knowledge through of the peace and without the necessity of create competence between the same students. As teacher wanted that the education teaches through of the new expectations. In my opinion, the teacher must be reflexive with one of them classes and they change the model of learning for forming new teachers.
In addition, the teacher suggests to his students that the getting of different result depend of they do different things; besides, the society achieves the access to the technology. The teacher should not worry about what is right, but by the quality of student learning and how they have helped them grow. They are able to change focus and keep the attention of their students, showing empathy.
To sum up, I believe that we as teacher should accomplish that the classes will be creative and striking for the students. I am as teacher will be more patience because many students had many problems. But when someone had a problem the teacher and the students must look up solutions. A good teacher is recognized by: delivery in learning, for sharing your wisdom and push to be better every day to his students.
HOW TO BECOME IN A GOOD TEACHER?
ReplyDeleteThe term “education” today has many definitions, such as educating the person integral and conceptually to life and it is also defined as the process of formal socialization of the person in society; however, this is the most important determining factor of the position of each being within their community regardless of the form in which it is denominated.
In relation to the video, " la educación prohibida," it can be seen the roll of the teacher as the main core of the education, for this, currently the teacher has that confront different challenges that increased up throught the time, bringing the need to implement different strategies to create a learning and respect environment, one of this challenges is to adapt to technological changes, and at the same way use them as a teaching tool in order to enter in the cycle of modernity; however, the education nowadays is only focused on the production of beings with knowledge but without values and no sense of belonging with around them.
First of all, I think that to become a good teacher is necessary to try of getting be to involved in the students lifes, that is, knowing about your strengths and weaknesses as well as their problems, the main reason of rebellious and disaffected students, in addition, a good teacher should allow him to listen the students, receiving and accepting respectfully their suggestions, allowing feedback and not only focus on imparting theories but also make use of the practice; nevertheless, everyday teaching is the most complex task , and at the same time, the most devalued by society, account of that the teacher is on who fall on the responsibility of the formation of the person, leaving aside external factors as are, the family and social environment, responsible for low levels too.
(Carlos Lomas, 2003) point out that the education is more based on skills development than theoretical teaching, and (Garza, 2005) talks about of that the education goes beyond providing information, now than it include patterns that not occur in short term but these are developed trough the time, besides, the teacher should be together with the development of skills and reinforcement of attitudes which imply a personal and professional development.
In my opinión, the teacher should be the example to folllow of his students and he must motivate them to the change and improvement daily entailing to form a better society, but without separating them from their customs and their environment; in addition, the teacher must have the vocation and the will to make that his work not become a failure.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the video “La educación prohibida”
For answering this question is necessary to think in the ancient and current education. The ancient education was a traditional education, a static education when the students are not able to take a critic and thoughtful stance in their life.
First of all, we as teachers know that knowledge is in a continuous process. But the educative systems have not been changed as fast as the societies. For this reason, now we are in a traditional education where the education´s objective is that students compete, where their intellectual coefficient is measured. This system promotes to individualism, discrimination among others.
In addition, we can observe that in the actual education there are some traditional education’s characteristics as: be in class compulsorily, strict schedules, system of evaluate and pressuring over teachers and students. These are different characteristics as in Platon´s time, where the students could think and reflect about their own thinking.
For these reasons, we need to create conscience and start to change this system, this “traditional education”, to change it for a “modern education” where the teachers will be a help for their students for helping them to construct their knowledge and thinking for their life with their own participation for a best integral formation.
To sump up, to become in teacher is easy but to become in an excellent teacher difficult because you need to have vocation for teaching, you need to create and innovate your new classes, where the students have an active participation. You need to analyze to your students, how the think, they feel. Also, the teacher ‘s experience to help with students’ integral growth for creating reflective spaces where the students think, learn, create, explain and construct new knowledge.
How to become a good teacher?
ReplyDeleteCurrently the education in Latin-American is falling down deeper and deeper with the pass of time. I think that it is caused by the methodologies that the teachers use in classroom in order to give the knowledge to their students.
First of all, nowadays teachers must create a critical way to think to theirs students. The teachers have to do their classes more dynamic than the previous one. Doing this, their students will be interesting in participate on it. Also, the topics in class must be of the students’ interested with the purpose of create an appeal to learn the new knowledge.
In the other hand, a good teacher must have a really cool behavior with his or her students because they want a teacher who treats them as a person with an own point of view. A person who can tell his/her opinion without be criticized.
I believe that one of the most important steps to be a teacher is have a harmony between fairness and tolerance. The teacher must be able to make decisions without taking in account his/her emotions and begging tolerant with all the students on the classroom because a lot of times the teacher will have to face students who come from different context and cultures from him/her.
Another important characteristic is the knowledge that the teacher has. She or he must be able to handler in a perfectly way all the things that will teach to the students. So, he or she has to explain all the knowledge in the clearest way.
To sum up, the perfect teacher is someone who has affective characteristics and creative skills as I mentioned before. And, put them in practice in the classroom in order to improve all the abilities of the students.
How to become in a good teacher?
ReplyDeleteOne the most important things in the society has always been the education, for it is a tool to keep or change the the social order. In words of the French Pierre Bourdie is a machine works to reproduce an order already established and which the most the people consider normal and unavoidable.
First of all, for what the social order may keep long, the interested people has a prepared carefully a serie of knowledges that they need to print in the mind of the other people. These knowledges are the called Curriculum and I say before they are chosen meticulously, for they may work in a positive or negative way in the students
In adittion, the issues of the Curriculum contain all the needs that the society have, in my opinion, the needs that the goverment wants that society has in its benefit.
Thus, the teacher plays an important key in all the education process, because of they teacher are the people have to put the curriculum in the brains of the students to become them in the people that the government need. Thus, the teacher acomplishes a mediator paper between the goverment and the students.
Finally, the teacher could be change all things, because the teacher has the power, for he knows all the producure that permits that the society be reproduced. So he could use it in theory, but the life is most complicated and maybe the teacher doesn’t get it.
La educación prohibida
ReplyDeleteThe film is focus in to show the education in the actually times, firs of all it showed an scene where it gives information about one of the most important problems in the education; the pedagogic model not the student, also showed that people is fearing to the real world and too much people think that school is a form of garage for children and that the world will not to change with few different thinks of the school, also because some people need that the education are with it focus like politic people. I´m in disagreement whit this thinks because the education will form the life, the courage and the sentiments of the new society is not a business and also not a game.
I think that the actually education is bad because it is focus in the same way of education like 10 years ago, using an old method without think that now students and the environment are different.
Pedagogy like Maria Montessori from some years ago is working on base of a different pedagogic model, she broke the way from a lineal education and proposed methods when the children chose theirself materials and signatures, she thought that the teacher isn´t a person which is imposing rulers and knowledge, teacher is a person who help the students to have new significative knowledge and how to use it in the real society.
To sum up the teacher is a person who help the students, who motivate and give effort to improve the knowledge and if a person want to be a teacher it person needs to do it with passion, love and the most important with conviction, also because teacher is the person which will to form the next society and if we create bad people, certainly they will convert in the next Pablo Escobar, Uribe, Santos and more people like that etc.
A PROHIBITED EDUCATION
ReplyDeleteAs noted at the beginning of this call education. The goal has been instilled in the minds of the youth who are the future of society. Think of a better tomorrow for them. achieve and contribute their knowledge to this revolution of change. But. The sad reality is that the system achievable dreams. It's just a curtain that covers all the machinery that moves your threads since ancient times.
We saw that the reflections given by the professors in the video explains in a clear way in which the system has established the perfect mechanism for a domain in human thought and action. Unlike databases created in the Greek era where knowledge spaces were given in open places and knowledge acquired by the ability of curiosity and experimentation that the person had. and that she had to argue their positions with other thinkers. Enriching the evolution and development of the knowledge free. That ultimately is the seed of education.
On the other hand. As mentioned above this mechanical system is reflected from the Prussian education system which categorizes by age and social and economic strata. Making it the perfect system of "education" in which the most powerful people economically distributed education they want. Forming a group of people that only have the ability to think in the mass production of things. And time is not taken to know why they are creating.
Finally, if we take the time to reflect on this thought which says that education is not the same as teaching we may find a different way for us and our children and thereby begin to change the concept of the "forbidden education." If we create spaces for thinking, not just memorization students taking our teachings will be more comprehensive and people of integrity in their find. This can be a tool for them to value more the concept of research, seeking new ways to achieve discussing thoughts are not just things that are learned by themselves. With that we can become a better teacher for the future of our society.
The Forbidden education
ReplyDeleteHow to become a good teacher?
At the beginning, in ancient Greece, Master gives to pupil teaching in the academy; a place where people went for love to wisdom, attended by his own will. In these academies masters teaching pupil to question, to reflect on their everyday life. In Greece was born the philosophy.
Initially, I think that public education was designed as a tool to improve society, but currently education has fallen into an error, clue to education has been limited through curriculum, time, scholar grades, subjects and other items.
In addition, Simon Rodríguez (Venezuela 1771) thinks that ignorance carry out the man to the slavery and the education returns the man to freedom. I think that actually educational system is a mistake because it has a lot of problem; where many schools coexist. During school days the goal is constantly shaping student. In my opinion, each school is a circular wall; a prison where thousands of children and adolescents are in an intellectual competition for going to other levels and to have the great prize. The highest prize is a label of engineer, worker, doctor or any other profession. Finally a trained person leaves to a working environment.
This is an educational despotism where the teacher does not know anything about the student and the student is just a bag in which knowledge plays constantly and magically teacher takes grades. This model of education is a labyrinth where grade levels, content and behaviors are overcome.
According to José Martí, in a conference he said: "any person can instruct, but the wonderful occupation of educating only can make the person who is an alive gospel". I agree with this idea because actually we do not educate children and young in human values, only they are learning numbers, theories and history. From my point of view and as future teacher I think that this should change low important aspects such has:
- The professor should be a human being: The professor should know how to cohabit in different pedagogic and social environments, learning how to accept the multiculturality.
- "if you look for different results you don't make every day the same thing": I suggest that we should break the imposed limits, so we can educate children, though learning from the amusement, the colors, the creativity. It should be left aside the boring and monotonous classes.
- Each person is singular and unique: I think that the same teaching method should not be used with all children.
- The school is the temple of the knowledge: as professors we have the biggest task that is to form the different components of a society (nurses, waiters, political, etc.) and they should be first a sensitive human being, and then become a professions.
In summary, to become an excellent professors we should change the paradigms, the education models, to recognize that the student is above all an entity that they knows and they can think and to create for themselves. The educational system should have a re-organization where the walls are demolished, the processes, the materials, the student's analogy like percentage, statistical, the topics, and the contents. Finally, I think that we should stop to be submissive followers of a system and to start to create a better one.
How to become a good teacher?
ReplyDeleteThere are many diferent opinions about the current education system. In first instance, one of the most significant problems in current education is that teachers are still using teaching methods that were used in the past; without considering that the behavior the needs, prefeferences and ways of thinking of students currently is not the same than previous years.
Besides, the system continues giving greater importance to formal knowledge than explore students skills, standardized tests, mandatory classes, outdated ratings systems and Prussian educational model are some of the features that conform the current education paradigm.
While economic progress and technological advances offer us a quality of life that we could not imagine a few decades ago, the twenty-first century schools are a picture of the past.
In my opinión, in opposition to traditional teaching; a good teacher has the task of encourage in his /her students building their own learning process, an incredible challenge to consistently achieve. This is why a good teacher should be characterized by teaching students to think, to question, to be critical, to reasons and not to memorize. I really consider that a good teacher should be concerned that their students not only learn useful things relevant to the content of a subject, but learn for life.
In addition the best legacy you can leave your students is not what you know but give them a love for learning, to be someone who is willing to listen and not merely recite and apply content assessments.
To sum up as teachers in training our duty is to break the paradigm of the current education system and start building from scratch a process to achieve a different education and training different people able to help in the development the society.
TEACHER ACTIVE ROLE IN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS
ReplyDeleteAccording to the video “the prohibit education ” in the following lines i am going to explain some challenges, and other topics in order to try to explain that teachers of our day have some liabilities, challenges should be taken like a new experience by active people in the educational process. Nonetheless is necessary to realize: that challenges and liabilities has not just a problem it also has advantages. From this point challenges are inspirations for pre-serves teachers to try to create new methods for a better learning process.
In my opinion now are teachers who believe that students don not anything and for instance they cannot express their opinions, but it is not truth. They are not machines, because some teachers are forgetting through their jobs they can improve in educational process and be active in the construction of a new society.
In addition, are necessary find methodologies for teaching in a general way, for implementing some pedagogical elements in order to make reflection and improvements.
To sum up, Its challenges affect my future career because it show me that every single day I will confront a new style of live or a uncomfortable type of traditional education, it means that now I have to take an awareness about the new era and felt the consequently their need a quiet environmental, Students today are technophile but, why no change it technologies for an particular way to teaches. Generally a teacher has spoken for 1 hour and after it the students do not process the new information y the student cannot connect with the previous knowledge’s so if teacher’s role appropriate new technologies we won more develop.
