BEFORE AND AFTER THE PRACTICE


 Before doing this practice I knew something about assessment thanks to lesson 10, but with this practice we have studied the topic more deeply.

Now that I have done this activity I consider that I nkow so much more about the different types of assessment and about it's parts, for example.


  • The initial assessment that is used at the beginning of the educational process.
  • The continuous assessment which is carried out while the educational process has already begun to see if it is developing according to the defined plan that we had made beforehand.
  • The final assessment takes places at the end of the educational process and it is used to see how the process has ended.

The most difficul for me was to choose the methodology we were going to focus. It is not a big deal, but for me, I think that when we think about school assessments we only think about exams or final projects and we forguet about cheking if they have really learnt something. That's why I agree with the next sentence:
"Summative assessments, or high stakes tests and projects, are what the eagle eye of our profession is fixated on right now, so teachers often find themselves in the tough position of racing, racing, racing through curriculum."(R. Alber)

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...

LESSON 3: Documents for Educational Management Institutions

Imagen
                              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.

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...
