Hello class,
Today's blog session is tremendously important, as it has to do with your own life a students.
So, the question is the following, IF YOU WERE IN CHARGE OF THE CAREER, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
In this session, you will have to write about these things:
> The curriculum (the subjects you have to study)
> Workload and length of studies (the time your studies last and the quantity of work you have to do)
> Faculty facilities (buildings and infrastructure)
> Use of technology
> Teaching methods (how teachers teach the subjects)
In my experience as a student of pedagogy in English, I would change several things like the use of technology and some teaching methods that some teachers had when I was a student. Also, my career has some practicum subjects, only 2 of them, so the idea is to creat more practicums as the students need to practice in real life what to be a teacher means.
The curriculum in my career can have some variations from university to university, as one University can focus more in the pronunciation or another University can have its focus on the Evaluation process. According to this, the curriculum should have more subjects where students can show their abilities, for example speaking in real situations and not only with books, creating more and different materials to teach properly the different abilities of English.
As well as a lot of careers, Pedagogy lasts for 5 years and I think that's too much time, because every University adds different subjects according to their vision and mission, for example my University is Catholic so they add subjects related to religion and catholicism. Sometimes, they can be a waste of time for you, if you don't believe in these point of views.
Finally, the facilities of the Universities need to be good and they should have everything you need to carry out your tasks in a good way. My University didn't have too many things to practice our English, they only have 1 English lab for the entire career, and we were too many students for only 1 room, in which you could find computers and some dictionaries. I would add more labs and more things to practice the language, like a room where you can create plays and make different speaking tasks, because as you know is one of the most important aspects when you learn a different language.
That's all.
So, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE IN YOUR CAREER?

Hi! This year being my first year as a university student I've found many deficiencies around my faculty specially in infrastructure. We all saw what happened in the last rain. The upper level of the library where the computers are is not even open yet, everything is so slow.
ResponderBorrarReligion shouldn't intervene in university education
ResponderBorrarit's uncomfortable that there are careers that are taken so lightly
ResponderBorrarit'd be really nice to have a real chance to be heard at the career's opinion like which teacher is doing right his role.
ResponderBorrarHi! I think that is what should be more important in practical courses to know how our can be future work.
ResponderBorrarIt would be fine to have more practicum subjects and less subjects related to religion.

ResponderBorrarHow terrible to have to do theological subjects :c
"Extra" classes are definitely the worst, you have to using your time in something that has no relationship with your degree and you only do for obligation
ResponderBorraruniversities always teaching stupid things never gona use, from the books no one read... better learn from youtube.
