25 of April: NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION

 

Today’s class was focused on non-verbal communication. We learned about the different types of non-verbal communication that exists: proxemic (the way I interact with someone, how close I am with that person…), paralinguistic (related with the tone of the voice, the intensity, the pitch…) and kinesthetic (related to body communication, gestures…). I have attached a visual example to today’s post 😊





I consider that this is a quite important feature for everyone, but specially for teachers. Firstly, in an academic perspective, as depending on our non-verbal communication (if we make gestures, the voice we use, the tone…) our students will process the information better or not. Non-verbal communication is used EVERYTIME we are interacting with other individuals, and, as teachers, half of our day consist of interact with children. As tutors that want to help our students and ger approach to them, we might find difficult this task if we have a bad verbal communication, as we can be perceived as not warm or as people you can talk to. This is why we should work on our non-verbal communication.

Here is a video that explains better this topic.

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

  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
