21 and 24 of March: PARENTING STYLES

 

As I did with my previous post, I will unify the content and the reflexions of the 21st of March and 24th 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.

I also consider important to get to know about parents in our education as teachers, as they play an important role in the life of a teacher. We tend to focus our education as teachers in three directions: the teacher itself (theory of education, methods, skills to become a good teacher and tutor…), on the student (psychology, educational guidance, tutorial action…) and on other institutions related to education (organization, laws…), but we usually forget about the important impact and role that the parents play in a student’s life and environment, as they might be one of the main reasons for some problems that a student might face, and that it is carried to school too.

24 of January: INDIAN NAMES

Image
  The previous week, the teacher explained to us what the “Indian names” were and aimed us to select one, so today we could share it with the class. An Indian name, as she told us, is a name that can provide the others some information about us, as it is related with an object/animal that represent us or an activity we like to perform, so we can associate the characteristics of this name with ourselves. In my case, I have selected for my Indian name “sunflower”, not only because it is my favourite flower, but also the things it refers (the Sun, the colour yellow, the feeling of happiness…), things that I would use to refer to myself. We also had to give between us adjectives that we would use to describe the others, in order to create the full name. However, as we did not have so much time left, I didn’t get assigned any adjectives. I found this activity quite interesting, as we can see from a beginning the perception that a person might have about himself, as it is that person w

7 of March: THE GOOD WILL HUNTING

  In this entry, I will add some of what we have seen in previous classes, but that I decided not to create an entry as I had not many things to comment upon the topic. For example, one of the main discussions that we had was upon the differences between a teacher and a tutor, which is a reflection I have made in other entries, but basically, we contemplated the same topics as I mentioned in those entries, that a teacher only needs to be qualified to transmit knowledge, but a tutor has to do many other things and be in touch with much more areas.   In today’s class, the main activity was again related to a movie, a kind of practice that, as I commented in the entry about Harry Potter, I really enjoy. This time, the movie was The Good Will Hunting, whose main argument is about the life of Will, a math-talented boy but whose circumstances had led him to a rebel attitude, until he is presented to Sean, a psychologist that will help him to stop acting in that rebel way and focus on wha
