basic pillars of any nation that prides itself as such are justice and education. And maybe, if you dig a little deeper, the second is enough for us as a people educated access to all the other aspects that make up a society as well.
The education system is responsible. Government apparatus ensures that, theoretically, education fit the historical context and socio-cultural. Officials who head the Ministry of Education does not seem to be the fittest, teachers do not seem to make ourselves heard and society as a whole seems not to realize the importance of education in any country.
A little over 10 years, launched the new federal education law, law governing the provinces, but not for the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
The masterminds of this Act, were Dr. Eduardo Duhalde, then governor of the province of Buenos Aires and the former director general of Culture and Education, Graciela Giannettasio (current Minister of Education) joined them a group of people who for sure like the first two, a long time (if ever) that do not occur around the provincial schools. Reading it brings
not dispute, the point is to see how it comes, develops and what comes of some aspects of this new law
Talk In other words
Some words historically related to teaching school disappeared from the dictionary. Such is the case of evaluation, average, test, time chair, examination table, court, counseling, primary and secondary schools and appeared in place compensation, report, module, period of compensation, terms, EGB 1, 2 EGB, EGB 3 and polymodal.
changed the terms and changed the forms and while not all bad, the negative aspects hide the rest.
Teacher Training "?
All those who choose teaching as a profession we should think first about what level we wanted to teach. Those who chose the primary level were enrolled in the teaching profession and those who chose the secondary level we should decide what area we liked and followed a four-year teacher we specialize in every aspect of the subject chosen. Student teachers, once received, not only had access to primary but also secondary education, that is, if it had exhausted the possibilities of a high school teacher could take the class hours. Incidentally, high school teachers never agreed, as a logical, to exercise at the primary level.
The new Federal Education Act brought a revolutionary change in teacher training: the conversion. As indicated by the same word is again turning to teachers for their preparation was consistent with what the law demanded. That's how primary teachers and secondary school courses we are doing a year in the chosen subject. And after that ... we were all ready to teach at EGB 3, ie 7, 8 and 9 (former Grade 7, 1 and 2 years). It began badly. We respect all the preparations, but it sounds inconsistent that teachers and teachers doing the same training time a matter that the former have seen for a year amid many different specialties and the second study for four years and 32 subjects.
So we all, slip in hand, giving the same subjects for the same level.
What happened with architects, lawyers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, business administrators, technicians, graduates, experts, etc? Blended had to do a teacher training course for one year. And ready. Another piece of paper authorizing him to teaching. Evaluation
vs.
compensation evaluation system (today this is a term like dirty word in education) also changed its form. Now we have all the variants of compensation: compensation period, preventive, continuous. Students are no longer subject to unfair and frustrating easier exams and pass a subject that disapprove.
If the first or second quarter are left with low grade, students have what is called continuous compensation, that is going to develop practical work of those topics that are disapproved until the period of preventive compensation, or has the option not to go with that or those items through December, but may render them, sorry! compensate for previous periods. Prepared by the teacher and the thousand and one jobs for those that have not been waived, you must find the way the boy learn the issues involved testing all the resources (read educational) that are within reach. Meanwhile classes continue as normal. Continue to be developed under curricular issues, thus meeting the students following the program and still have not passed all subjects. But if the student had compensated (which is never a) not yet approved, is the teacher who should figure again in the December period so that students can pass. And we care review period and do not say. Because we have two weeks to re-explain the issues that were deprecated and give it another chance to compensate. Our students did not pass. What then? Continue to develop teaching strategies for February, because in that month again have two weeks of compensation where we explain the issues again and resumed their compensation.
At this point we are all saturated, the teachers no longer know how to present the topic and the students know that they will soon have a new opportunity.
Multiply this by, at least ten students per year, ten courses, five schools and five levels. Ubiquémonos in overcrowded classrooms where we have the number of students is 40, 45, 50. Not to mention the conditions found in establishments and supply problems that appear each stronger and marked in the classroom. At best, what should it approve when they managed to draw the O to the glass.
Who speaks?
is almost compelled to comment on the difficulty teachers' lounge for students to read fluently, understanding a slogan, to understand a text, write something coherent or show even a slightest interest in something. But we forget that adults still did everything in our power to prevent this from happening. I hope someday take pans for more than just an economic problem and what we do for the mess that is turning our education system. Catalina Sosa
