LESSON 1: The evolution of the spanish educational system






SUMMARY

In our first lesson we have learnt so many information  about the different educational laws of the spanish system. To undertand this laws we also had to study the politic, cultural and historical context of that period to see how this factors influenced the law.
We started studying the laws after the ancien Régime and we ended with the current educational law ,Organic Law on the Improvement of the Quality of Education (2013) ( LOMCE in spanish).


BEFORE AND AFTER STUDYING


    Before we sudied the evolution of our educational system I thought I knew enouugh about that topic, but after two hours of study of 200 years of spanish education I realiced that I was completely wrong.

     I have learned so much about the education laws' chronology and about the speciffic particularities of each law since the Spanish Constitution of 1812 to the LOMCE (2013)  But, even if our teacher has told us the differences between all the educational laws , is still too hard for me to diferentiate the last ones. It's really confusing to know  which law are you talking about when you study the name of the law in english but you can't relate it with the Spanish name of the law.
       
    In my case,  as I said before, I think I should learn more about the laws' main  objectives and the name of each law in english because I don't want to mix them.

Now that I know more about the educational laws I truly believe that I can talk about education and search information correctly about each law.

 
VOCABULARY THAT I'VE LEARNT

High iliteracy rates: many people don't know how to read and how to write in a country
Liberal- political beliefs that support more personal freedom and a fairer way to share wealth and power in society.
State- subsidied : centers that recieve money from the Government and from the parents
private centers : centers that are not  administered by local, state or national governments.
Compulsory : that has to be done
Free: something that has no cost
Fascist-oriented national-catholic thought : education
 secularity of education :that means that religion has no influence in the education
Governing bodies : are groups of people that have the authority to exercise governance over an orgnization.
School councils : governing body formed by the teacher board, parents, the director, students... to discuss several questions about the diffrent activities and measures of the center
School failure: when students quit before they graduate of the compulsory education
Education for citizenship : a subject where the students learn about civic values.


VIDEO


 Many people is againts the LOMCE because they think that this law is due to the economic cuts, they believe that is a sexist law which allows the existance of non- mixed schools... so it exists a lot of controversy about this law.

LESSON 5: Classroom grouping models

Imagen
                               SUMMARY This lesson explains how students can be organized in class. There are multiple grouping models such as the graduated model or the multi- level system, and in this class we have lernt all of them and their individual features. BEFORE AND AFTER STUDYING Before studying this lesson I believed that the graduated model and the heterogenous grups were the only criteria for grouping students. However, I know all the systems and models of grouping students. After I've studied this lesson I know that there are different types of students grouping, two perspectives (vertical and horizontal), and the diferences between them. In addition, I've lernt that there is a multi- level system where students can share the same space doing  curricular contents of different levels. One of the most difficult things about this lesson is to know if working on groups gi...

                              SUMMARY In the Lesson 3 we have studied the most important documents of the school centre. This documents are the Educational Project and the Annual General Programme. The educational Project is a document that among other things describes the organisation of the centre, and the Annual General Plan is a document inside the Educatnal Project that shows the school's planning, management and performance and also clarifies aspects included in the Educational Project. BEFORE AND AFTER STUDYING Before this Lesson I knew nothing about this documents or schools documents in general. I knew that schools had some documents that pick up all the information about the centres' plans but I could not even  imagine their magnitude and their value. After studying, I consider that I know the most important traitsof the Annual General Programme and the Educational Project. For ...

PRACTICE 9

Imagen
                        BEFORE AND AFTER THE PRACTICE Before doing this practice I knew something about the association of mothers and fathers thanks to lesson 9, where we learned about the participation in the school. However, In this practice we have studyied deeply what is the AMPA, it's functions, regulations, advantages, disadvantages... After doing this activity I know that AMPA also forms part of the teacher board and I realized how many responsabilities they have, such as organizing all the school's events and school trips for students and making desicions with the director. The hardest thing for me to learn was the fact that we all know what the AMPA ia but half of the parents don't really know about the ampa's decisions or thoughts, so, now that I've done this practice I think that the representators of the AMPA should mantain a closest relationship with the rest of the parents to try to make them feel par...
