Presentations 19.02.2015

The two groups that presented their work this day were Escuela de Bocación and Futupasta.

To beginning with, one main idea that my group explain was the MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES. This concept of Multiple Intelligences means that each student learn by a different way, and we, as teachers, should know and foment them in class, because we have to teach to the diversity classroom and adapt it to the different kinds of intelligences we will have.

Another point was about the different cooperative learning techniques: TAI, TGT and Group Investigation.

The TEAM ASSITED INDIVIDUALIZATION aims to create an atmosphere in class without competition and combines both cooperative learning and individually-places instruction; each student receives an exercise which is personalized taking into account their characteristics and needs, it is also essential respect the rhythm of each student and help them.

The TEAM-GAMES TOURNAMENT is a kind of game which aim is not the competition, but help the group that each student belongs and answer the question relaxed and thinking, without a limit of time, it is more important that they learn.

The GROUP INVESTIGATION. With this technique each group choose a subtopic and decide with the teacher their plan, distribute the tasks and choose the procedures that they will have to fulfil. Then they develop their plan and present it in class, this is when the other students can make them questions and at the end the teacher and the rest of the students evaluate together what they have done.

Another important idea was that the students should know how to be AUTONOMOUS, that is why the teacher should be like an scaffolding, to help the student during the process and disappear little by little until the student can learn by his own.

The last main topic was the EVALUATION: the group Futupasta explained it very well. The teacher does his own evaluation, each group evaluate the other and inside of the groups they have to evaluate themselves. But there is also another kind of evaluation, the teacher does it to himself to know if he has fulfil what he wants and also if the students have learn the main ideas of the topic.
