FINAL POST AND REFLECTION

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 content given without reflect on it, as it is what is expected from me in other subjects (just memorize and “vomit” everything in an exam), but thanks to the blog I have not only been able to manage myself when reviewing the content of the subject (as I have done it periodically and not just weeks before the exam) and also, with each entry, I could reflect on the topics treated and how I feel about them (If I thought they were right, wrong…). Even if it not what I expected from a university subject, as a general conclusion I must say that I liked the blog idea, and I think it can be applied to primary and secondary courses as well, as a way to help students to organised, to foment their creativity and originality, and to let the teacher see how are their classes going (if something should be improve or changed, the activities they should usually do…).

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
