Through the transformation of education at the national level and specifically to the structural and academic changes that are intended to be interpreted in our educational center, the approaches are the basis for the development of a new educational project.
What is focus
Direction or procedure that is adopted before a project, problem or something else, which implies a particular way of evaluating or considering it. The approach is to direct the attention or interest of a matter or problem from previous assumptions to try to solve it correctly, for which the pedagogue exposes it clearly, this serves to educate or teach, on the specific point to be treated.
The behavioral approach is a set of techniques that help predict, understand the behavior of human beings and try to explain how knowledge is reached. His object of study focuses on the acquisition of skills and abilities, reasoning and the acquisition of concepts.
In the behavioral approach, a series of concepts is usually mentioned that usually give an idea of a schema or shortened and calculating reasoning. These words are "stimulus" "response" "reinforcement", "learning".
What is the focus of teacher training
Teacher training, at any educational level, has been placed at the center of national and international educational discussion since it has been recognized that teachers are the main protagonists in improving quality educational processes and results.
The specialists on the subject have made various interpretations around the models, approaches, traditions, paradigms and other series of terms that have been used to carry out an ideal typical Weberian-style elaboration of teacher training. Each of these concepts responds to different perspectives, some believe that they are models insofar as they rescue the general characteristics of these types by dint of a more or less prolonged and systematic process of abstraction; Others believe that they are traditions inasmuch as these types are consensual forms of theory and practices used in many spaces and times. Still others believe that in realities they are paradigms that are fashionable to characterize the sciences and their different currents or approaches and that he himself put into constant questioning in his later works.
In this analysis, the other dimensions that, in addition to training, are involved in teaching, are not unknown. However, for their reflection, the remaining seminars that make up the axis related to teaching in the master's program are proposed as a space: "Analysis of teaching practice in the school context" and "Management and school content".
On the other hand, educational research related to teaching has shown in the last three decades that teaching work is a network of institutional material conditions, social practices and training and knowledge of each teacher.
The professionalization of the teacher determines having competences in the domain of concepts, procedural skills, values, aptitudes and attitudes in the exercise and performance of their profession. To fulfill all the missions that are its own.
- Subjects with revolutionary ideas (Carlos Marx), critics of their reality and far from individuality. Subjects with love for the care of the environment. Dynamic, didactic and creative subjects (Paulo Freire and LS Vigostky). Subjects capable of maintaining a human sense with good moral values (Silvia Esmelkes). Subjects with an appreciation of sport and culture (dance, music, painting). Subjects with love of reading. Literacy taught from Paulo Freire's theory with the generating word.
School and teaching must assume a new role, its mission, its place of existence and development, is society. Not only because social relations are the destiny of schooling, but because society determines the type of school and the way of teaching.
As stated by the National Education Program 2001-2006 (ProNaE), the quality basic education to which we aspire as a country, is one that ensures the full exercise of the right to education of all Mexicans, with justice and equity in the access, in the process and in educational achievement.
Until the mid-1980s, equity was understood to mean that all children, regardless of their social status or place of residence, had access to school. Based on this idea, a policy of great expansion was established and the educational system was established. Today, offering an education with equity and justice means that it is not enough for all children and adolescents to have the opportunity to enter school, but rather to attend a school that offers them the possibility of successfully completing and completing their education.
Education has been and will continue to be important in our lives, over time different changes have been made to improve each of the subjects taught at school. For students in primary education, there are various objectives that must be met during the course of this educational level.
Education is controversial because despite all the projects that have been implemented to improve it, the results have not been as expected. I consider that the teacher has not fully opened up to the new possibilities of change, with commitment, responsibility, dedication and above all in the little initiative to carry out a transformation in their educational practice.
To ensure that the school fulfills its mission, the principal is required to exercise effective academic leadership: promote professional collaboration among teachers; promote the active and responsible participation of parents; foster dialogue with the community about educational purposes and ways to improve the functioning of the school and the results of education; stimulate the good performance of teachers and their interest in achieving the goals set by the school, and ensure the conditions that generate a school climate conducive to the achievement of learning, harmonious coexistence, the exercise of a culture of legality, appreciation of diversity and preservation of cultural heritage, as well as conservation of the environment and natural resources.
Despite the efforts made to increase coverage and improve the quality of education, it is possible to verify that the social disadvantage of groups in situations of greater vulnerability and marginality is not always compensated by education. The gap between rural and urban areas and between schools from different socio-economic strata are significant and tend to widen in some places.
What characteristics are required of teachers in modern times?
Nowadays and always the teacher when exercising his work in the classroom has faced the lack of equipment, infrastructure, personnel, technologies, his subject contents are poorer and have lost their contextual sense, and everything This has influenced that the development of a good class is not very productive.
In our current time education is demanded as one more material satisfactor, who is considered as an investment in human capital, is no longer really viewed as personal development or as constructive integration into society, but as a simple requirement to work or an advantageous springboard for social status. There is increasing pressure on the teacher and solutions and alternatives are not always offered.
Now, on the one hand I am sure that there will continue to be great setbacks that impede the good execution of our teaching work, but on the other hand we must also accept our reality, learn to live with it, open our minds a bit accepting our accelerated change in life. society and with it emerge from our classrooms contextualized content conducive to our students, giving us the task of contributing a little more than normal, always aware that we will have to create our own conditions to carry out our work.
How are these desirable traits proposed to develop?
Increase programs that are truly based on the needs of each region of the country in order to learn more about the true situation and problems of each school and teachers. Not to rely on models drawn from countries that have nothing to do with ours and to allocate more resources and interest in basic public education, all from the educational authorities.
Which institutions are responsible for training teachers with these desirable traits?
In government, parents and students are responsible for teachers to be trained in the teaching area, since with the help of these, an environment of joint harmony is developed, seeking solutions that contribute to the development of a better education in order to develop a harmonious environment among all members of the educational system.
