At the end I have decided to have my own blog. I was thinking on it
since a lot of months, it is not a decision that I have just take.
I have some blogs but they are for different subjects and also they are
by groups. In this kind of blogs I am evaluated by my teachers. In many of them
I show to my teachers what I have learned in their subjects. Because of that, I
feel I need to have a personal one to have my own place to reflect and to do it
in an “objective” way, I mean, more objective than on my personal diary. My
objective is to reflect about myself and my educative process, during my degree,
without to be evaluated by someone. For me, not to be evaluated has some
advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: Without a teacher, I can learn whatever I want; I can choose
the way of learning; I have freedom; I am not limited to a subject or a final
exam; I make my learning meaningful, I learn when I want (maybe every time?)…
Disadvantages: A good teacher could be an excellent guide (all they
should be), I am sure that they know better than me different ways of learning;
in some way depend on me to be or not to be limited to a final exam or a mark,
not on the teacher; a teacher can make my learning meaningful, if he/she knows
how to do it (it depend also on me); a teacher can motivate and stimulate me a
lot, maybe more than I could do alone…
Uf! I have found more disadvantages than advantages of not to have a
teacher. At the beginning I didn´t think so. Well, it means that teachers (good
teachers) are essential.
I have just read my text and I have realised that I am making a
connection very curious: for me, is the same “to be evaluated” than “have a
teacher”. Why? Maybe is it because the education that I have received was like
that? I will think about this…
So, welcome to my blog.
Oh, sorry, I didn´t say why I am writing in English, despite of being a Spanish
girl. Maybe in the next post! ; )
