WRAP-UP: the overall experience of taking part in Haaga Helia programme

During these 18 months I have lived an accumulation of unforgettable experiences, although I have 25 years in education, I have learned: new teaching strategies, new forms of guidance and counseling, new forms of assessment, new educational approaches, new ways of looking at the and students in general: a new way of seeing the world.

The future is very promising for the SENA, in 2016: we will receive 8,000 people post-conflict and model Haaga Helia is special to apply them: guidance, counseling, use of TICs, collaborative work, evidence of performance and evidence of product .

We hope to form 15 * 25 = 375 SENA instructors in the first half of the year to replicate this training across the country.

In life, what sometimes seems an end,
It is really a new beginning.




Communities and Networks - Comprehensive Assessment

"If we teach today as we taught students to yesterday, we are stealing the future"

Collaborative work gave us:
1. Develop a brainstorming
2. To achieve the objectives quickly
3. Increase final results
4. Increase quality and coverage of event
5. Make any changes that may be necessary: place, date, duration of the event.
6. Give us support and courage each other.

The initial plan had some modifications due to the change of place and the impossibility of meeting in person, we use the virtual communication by email and whatsapp.

Teaching Practice Comprehensive Assessment

In my teaching practice I managed to improve on three aspects:



1. Curriculum Design: I managed in the company of my colleagues Haaga Helia formulate the curriculum design for a complementary course of 144 hours (30% and 70% virtual classroom) called "teaching skills based on cooperation between trainers" to be developed SENA next year.

2. Collaborative Networking: I achieved develop strengths to network with colleagues, discover their strengths and talents, to support us, work together and achieve a common goal.

3. Previous Learning Students: Through this pedagogical training I discovered the importance of involving previous knowledge in training, knowledge and profit from even bright students to support less bright.

MY REFLECTION TODAY

"SENA Students are hired for what they know and
fire them for who they are "

  

My reflection today:
In this moment, I observe my classmates and I notice that everyone is unique, different, has its own style of teaching and everyone puts the touch to their own class session: funny, calm, serious, spicy, simple or sophisticated.

But what is really important in teaching is to achieve the transformation of the student: in knowledge, values, principles, attitudes and skills.

It is very important that students do not feel you're wasting your time but anxiously students wishing to enter class and learn new things. Student do not want to study, students want to learn.

My Teaching Practice (2 part)


This is part of my class session today started with an activity in connection with classmates and with the theme: Excel spreadsheet. The dynamics of the coins took place: in groups of 5 students, turning them spend 15 coins each time; packages first 15 coins, then in packs of 5 coins and then packs 1 coin.

They are calculated and recorded times of each team. Exercise is analyzed and reflects.

In a second point in the class, I present the SENASOFT 2015 event and invite all students to attend the event with another teacher because I will be meeting in Bogota in Week 6 of Haaga Helia.

Finally, each student presents a proposal of a hotel made with PowerPoint. Other partners observe and make comments.

My proposal Learning Network

THE 4 C                 

This methodology is learned from a professor from India and is that we divide each working session in 4 moments:
-Connection
-Concept
-Concretion
-Conclusion

1. CONNECTION: consists of establishing a link between apprentices to connect or "hook" to the subject matter. For example, a dynamic, a game, a puzzle, a different greeting hands or voice greet elbows, shoulders or hips.

2. CONCEPT: It consists of applying the rule of 10 minutes of attention of the student. Explain the main concept of the session: clear, concise, brief. Leave extra-class for other items not so important. Allow students to make charts, take photos, make mind maps, synthesis, teach each other. If there are several important concepts, leave an interval of 1-2 minutes to re-affirm the previous concept questions and then move to the new concept.

3. CONCRETION: It is that students take practice concept entrenched knowledge, engage with reality. It is not observed as does the teacher, nor like other classmates, it is each implement the concept treaty, ask questions, check the theory.

4. CONCLUSION: This is the final moment of the session, where the protagonist is not the teacher but the students. It is know that they felt like they thought the dopamine generating activity and end with any activity that produces joy and happiness of learning done.


We can create a network of trainers to implement the methodology 4C and share strategies for each of the 4 times, this pedagogically enrich all participants of the network and strengthen the soft skills of each of them.

Ensayo: Megatendencias: Mito o Verdad?

El mundo actual está confuso, todo interconectado, cableado o wi-fi, pero no hay comunicación real entre los humanos, valoramos más las cosas que las personas, se llora más la muerte de un animal que la de ­un familiar, lo malo parece bueno y lo bueno parece malo.


En la película “Mentes Peligrosas” una profesora se ve enfrentada a un grupo de estudiantes disímiles de secundaria, pertenecientes a los suburbios de una ciudad estadounidense: droga, sexo, violencia, pobreza y lo peor: ­­­­sin deseos de aprender. Ella busca la forma de llamar su atención, de motivarlos, de liderarlos y de incentivarles el amor a la lectura, específicamente a la composición de poemas. En esta película se observa el reto cada vez mayor de los docentes actuales: lograr la atención y respeto de sus estudiantes, el interés hacia el aprendizaje, que deseen aprender, no estudiar para obtener una nota.
En este mundo confuso y marco actual de la educación, aparecen seis (6) grandes megatendencias (considerables cambios sociales, políticos, económicos y tecnológicos que influyen en períodos largos  de 10 o más años), algunos ejemplos pueden ser: pasar de una sociedad industrial a una sociedad de la información, economía global, renacimiento de las artes, renacimiento religioso,  alta tecnología[1].
Estas megatendencias identificadas por las grandes potencias económicas, son citadas por algunos autores a través de sus escritos, tal como se mencionan a continuación:
En el libro:  The World in 2030[2], se dice: Después de un estudio con una empresa Alemana y haber encontrado 20 megatendencias, se realiza un análisis de cosas en común, impactos, etc, dejando 6 megatendencias para tener en cuenta en la formación de los líderes del año 2030.
En la obra: Las Tendencias Mundiales y el Futuro de América Latina. Sergio Bitar[3], dice: Pensar el futuro no significa hacer predicciones. Es imposible predecir, pero sí se pueden explorar hipótesis plausibles de cómo podrían evolucionar las cosas. El futuro no es una continuación lineal del pasado ni es ajeno a la acción humana. La definición de áreas de riesgo ayuda a corregir el rumbo y detectar oportunidades. También este autor menciona las 6 megatendencias.
A su vez, el autor de la obra: Building the New Leader, Hay Group[4] escribe: Las megatendencias  afectan a todas las regiones  y las partes interesadas, incluidos los gobiernos, empresas y particulares. Y ellas  transforman las economías, las sociedades y las políticas en un nivel fundamental.

Estas megatendencias para el 2030 son:
  • 1.     Aceleración de la globalización
  • 2.     El cambio climático, su impacto ambiental y la escasez de recursos
  • 3.     El cambio demográfico
  • 4.     La individualización y los valores del pluralismo
  • 5.     Formas de vida cada vez más digital
  • 6.     Convergencia tecnológica

Mito o Verdad?

Asociándolo a la educación, encontramos las siguientes apreciaciones:

Primero, la globalización exige capacidad académica para perdurar ante la competencia y los constantes cambios del mercado.

Segundo, la escasez de recursos, especialmente el agua, exige una cultura ambiental que evite dilapidar las riquezas naturales.

Tercero, el cambio demográfico, donde el mundo estará poblado por adultos mayores, incentiva la mano de obra de los jóvenes bien preparados.

Cuarto, la sociedad cada vez exigirá más libertad y democracia. Menos represión y autoritarismo.

Quinto, el mundo digital, las nuevas tecnologías en las relaciones sociales, transparencia, seguridad, violencia y crimen organizado se podrán manipular solo con el conocimiento y la información real y oportuna.

Sexta, la miniaturización y la virtualización impulsarán la convergencia entre nano, bio, las tecnologías de la información y las ciencias cognitivas.

En todas ellas se observa que la educación no es una forma más de llegar al futuro y sobrevivir en él, sino que es la única forma de lograrlo.
