My unclear and little motivating academic year: Education is really my vocation?

Undoubtedly all academic years are different, every year its presents differents subjects and the teachers are different. This year in particular had specials features for me, this year was little motivator and I did not have cognitives challenges. By contrast, each of the homework made were boring jobs, this homework occupied much of my time but were not significant for me. According to what have learned in this three years, the importante of our career (education) is based in make significant educative moments for the children, but is difficult to understand this for me, when our teachers of the university don´t have a dynamic constructivist to teach, and they don´t give the example.

According to the above is necessary to consider the following question, Is posible teach the constructivism through conductist lessons? Apparently some of my teachers believe that, they are constantly saying that is important to make educative moments in which children should be the protagonists and themselves must to build their knowledge, but our educational reality as students is very different, obviously we are not girls of seven years old (and our teachers don´t must to treat us like children), but is contradictory and difficult to understand the discourse constructivist that has the majority of teachers, because his discourse its not resembles in the educational activities of them.

See these situations in my academic reality was very demotivating, because are situations like these the which make that the people be question about their true vocation, making that me ask myself: is "the education" my vocation? According to the experiences of this academic year the answer should be NO. The lack of professionalism of teachers is evident, some lessons are not planned and it shows the lack of commitment that the teachers have. The intention is not to blame the teachers of everything, I know that my lack of consistency in academic activities is a little responsible for the academic failure of this year, but at the same time, that inconsistency is a product of the little motivation that I had for the career this academic year.

Finally it is necessary to say that although this year has been difficult for me, but I can not stay alone with the bad aspects. In this academic year the most salvageable was the practical experiences with the children, and I think that are those moments the which should drive me to continue in the career of education. Although the models received this year have not been the best, is necessary believe that our future teaching practices could make a change, because the critique that was just made about to the teachers of this year, contributes to knowledge about "how be a good teacher" and worry about the significant learning of the children, trying not to follow bad models of this year, but yes the good models.

Challenges in my discipline

My discipline needs much changes to get a better education system, these changes are:

The education needs to incorporate technologies, although most schools have computers, few schools permit that the children to use the computers. Computers its used like ornaments and not like educative tools. I think that the teachers should give more freedom to students in the use of technologies. And the education should create more educative instances in which students can learn about new technological advances.

The education must incorporate social matters in the curriculum. I believe that the schools should create social conscience in children, and that is a important challenge for education in Chile, because the education prefers to focus on other more structured matters. I think that the school should promote moments in which children interact with their social reality.

At the same time my discipline should to worry in create new change in practice of the students to obtain a meaningful learning.

A Piece of News: Teacher`s strike.

In this last weeks the "Teacher`s strike" it is the most important event in the country. The teacher`s strike has caused a big problem to educative system, the students have been lost class and the parents are preacupate because they think that the children could lose the academic year.

At the beiginning of the strike the great majority of municipal school supported the mobilization, but with the pass of the time some teacher has decided to take up again the class, this decision was cause of the not many things obtain.

The people more affected are the students, they lose class all the day, and the students of fourth grade have to take the test call PSU. the parents of this young people say that the students are not preparate to take this test. But the goverment give bad solves for this problem.

The piece of News that I would like to head is that Piñera is not in the electoral campaign. and other good piece of New taht i would like to head is that our educative system is not govern for the capitalist system.

Improving my faculty facilities

In this moment my faculty has serious space`s problem, the library is a little place, and the people have to go to other place when they want study. The university propose the cafeteria to study, but in my opinion that is a really bad place to concentrate on studying.
The computation room is very small, and although in this semester we have more computer, is not enough space for the lots of people.

The first thing that is necessary improving is the space problems, the most of the class room its inapropiate to have lesson, and the students are nearly pile up.
The cafeteria is not very good, and each day our food its less and less.

The steps to improve the faculty is meet to people and organize a committee in charge for research the students problems, their suggestions and the principal things in the which their want make a change.

I belive that the best way to resolve the situation is build more space and focus in the students problems.
