BLOG 8: A subject I have enjoyed a lot this semester!

Hi my friends, I hope you are very well. 

Today i going to talk about my subject I have enjoyed a lot this semester. To begin, my favorite subject of this semester is Practice 3: Problematization of Learning Experiences, First Cycle. 

The Practice is a subject that teaches you various knowledge of the professional field, mainly practical, since gives you the tool or instruments basic and necessary to face our career, since this subject is based on going to the educational centers, such as kindergartens, hospitals, libraries, toy libraries, etc., places where an educator can to job in her area. A subject that tries to provide experience for the future work that I will do, since it inserts you from the first instance to the professional field to experience the real work with the children. Although this subject does not have specific contents, in this semester it was sought to problematize about my own body and emotions, that is to see how I felt in my practice, what were my emotions, how to dialogue with  the children and educational personnel, etc., therefore, In my classes I made many observations about everything I experienced from the point of view of my sensations, corporality and emotions.

On the other hand, the reasons for my choice and that I like this subject more than others is mainly that I think that the practical subjects are the ones that help the most to know the reality in which you are going to live, those that will take away the doubts of following or not on time or those that will give you the most important experiences that they will make you reflect. Nevertheless, the theoretical subjects are not less important, also are a base.

Finally, I would like continue be amazed for this subject every semester... 

That´s all, thank you for your attention!

BLOG 7: An Expert on my Field

Hello my companions, I hope you are very well, because I am excellent. 

Today I'm going to talk about María Montessori, an important character for my career, Nursery Education at the University of Chile.

First, María Montessori was born in Italy on August 31, 1870 and died in holland on May 06, 1952. She was a woman worried for the childhood, graduated in pedagogy and medicine, therefore its theoretical foundations are based mainly in the biology. 

On the other hand, this great woman contributed in many areas of the education, like in didactical games, environments in the nature. songs, dances, instruments of reading, evaluations, among others, even to create the famous montessori method, a methodology based on nature, the love and the game, with the purpose of promoting the integral well-being of the child. 

So, I'm interested in this topic because it is a fundamental guide that ypu have to know in our training for the future practices pedagogical, thus learn this method helps us to understand childhood since different ideas, for example, in think the achild as a subject with a wonderful capacity for absorption; consider the role of the adult present in all the childhood; always prepare the environment for foment the learning physical, psychological and social and never remove or avoid the game in the life. 

That's all. thank you fot the attention, I hope you have a good day.

BLOG 6: POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

Hello dear companions and teacher, on this occasion i will talk about my future postgraduate studies.

First, my reasons for doing a postgraduate course are mainly to get more experience, also to have a better job later or to acquire more knowledge in my training. However, I have never thought about it well because of my bad economy, but it is always an option.

Although I still do not think it very well, I think I would choose arts subjects to specialize, since I love art focused on my career, for example, the analysis of children's drawings, how they express their emotions there, etc. . Therefore, I could choose a postgraduate course of analysis of drawings of children. On the other hand, I would like to study in Chile because here I have my family and my boyfriend. On another occasion I would like to study full-time, but if I think about it well I could also choose a part-time course, maybe to take advantage of working.

Finally, I would like my future postgraduate course to help me work in a renowned artistic area, such as a garden with an artistic stamp or create something non-traditional. Also, I have thought about creating my own kindergarten focused on art, so it would be essential to have a postgraduate support, it would be very good for my curriculum.

That's all friends, thanks for the attention, regards.

BLOG 5: Reflections on the demonstrations at FACSO

Hello dear companions and teacher, a pleasure to return to the blog. On this occasion I will give my opinion about the refletions on the demonstrations at FACSO.

First, I must say that I did not participate much in the process for personal reasons, I only attended to one assembly and I voted 3 times, but that does not mean that I did not support the movement. I do agree with the request made by the womans at FACSO, because I think it is urgent to make visible the gender violence that was lived in the university community and that continues in the society, instead of continuing to naturalize them. 

I think that all the work that my colleagues did was to start a change, since this at least got the attention of the country, for example, they broadcast the marches in the news and debated in the homes, although this is a slow and difficult process, he called to reflect to the Chileans. Also, I think that this deserves a respect and that it should not be overlooked. Also, the negative criticism only demonstrates the degree of oppression in which we find ourselves. Everyone deserves the same respect.

Regarding the loss of classes, I also think that it was regrettable and that maybe could be taken other forms of demonstration, but this is already done and the voices of the women were heard.

That's all, thanks for your attention, goodbye.

Nicole.
