14 of February: CONCEPT MAP

 

Today, the main activity that we have done is the creation of our conceptual map. For this, the teacher has brought a mental map that had the main wh- questions that we have reviewed last class.

Each person (or group) had a paper with a concept related to educational guidance, and we had to put it in the wh- question that we thought it was related to. In that way, the whole class had participated in the creation of this concept map.

One of the main reflections that we have made in common is related to who is the one that receive educational guidance. And we end up in the conclusion that everyone, everyone that is involved in it receives or are affected by it.

As a reflexion of this activity, I consider that it has been really useful, at least for me as I usually tend to do mental or concept maps when I study and I want to organize my thoughts or the content I am trying to learn, as I think is not only visual, but a quick and clear way to relate the content between the links that they have. It was also a great activity for cooperation, as we could have seen the ideas or thoughts of each one while discussing about the different topics. Finally, talking about the content of the activity, I think that it was really useful to give a full sense to the definitions created in other classes, as it gives us much more information (and clear ideas) about the people involved in the educational guidance, the place where it happens, the moment that this process happens… In general, set certain details to clarify the concept.

Here I post as well a video about how to create concept maps that I have found intresting and useful, I hope you enjoy it!

21 and 24 of March: PARENTING STYLES

Image
  As I did with my previous post, I will unify the content and the reflexions of the 21 st of March and 24 th of March, as they revolved around the same kind content. Specifically, I am going to talk about the different parenting styles. This is not a new topic for none of us, as we have learnt it in the previous course of Psychology of Education, so it was easier to understand it in this subject, as we had previous knowledge. As we have seen, we can distinguish 4 different parenting styles: permissive, neglectful, or uninvolved, authoritative, and authoritarian. They are different according to the demanding and the responsiveness they have. In order to make this clearer, there are some visual maps and a video attached to this post. I hope you find them interesting! In my opinion, the best parenting style and the one it should be followed is the authoritative one, as it has a balance between high demands and high responsiveness, creating, in that way, a positive environment.

03 of February: DEFINITION OF E.G (3.0) AND VISUAL METAPHORS

Image
  Again, we have focused on the definitions, as each team had to propose its own definition. My team (who we have decided to call “PAN”) has proposed the following: Educational guidance is an essential intervention in the school life of students with the implication of teachers, families and all the educational team working with the pupil. The main goal of an educational guidance is to obtain a better education and environment for the individual. However, today we have focused our class on the visual metaphors. A visual metaphor is an image/picture representation of something which purpose is to suggest an association or similarity to another concept, and our task was to create one per group in order to understand better the process that happens in educational guidance. I consider this practice very interesting, as I think it not only helps to develop creativity in those who make it, but also helps everyone to internalize better some concepts, process… Here you can see a video of h

FINAL POST AND REFLECTION

Image
This post is going to be quite different as the others that I have done during this course, as I am going to make a reflection in general, upon the subject and, most specifically, upon the blog’s project. Firstly, I have really enjoyed what I have learnt during the subject. I consider that this is something all teachers should learn. It is also too different of the other subjects we have had until now, as they were too numerical or theoretical (focused only on the theory and not in its applications in real life situations). I have experienced as well that I am not able to face the teaching occupation with many of them. But with Educational Guidance and Tutorial Action I have been able to learn how to manage different real-life situations and I have found the content of this subject really useful. Then, the blog’s project. I think it has been quite a dynamic proposal, as it is different of the projects we have been doing on other subjects. Also, I usually tend to study all the conte
