Reflections TDP/ PDP COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

• REFLECTION TDP/ PDP COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

In my case it was really exciting development of this activity as for the charge that I have now for a long time was not in a classroom.

Being able to apply what we have seen in this training program for teachers in class was very good because I feel that the difference was evident that both the students and the teacher who accompanied me could notice.

The tools and teaching methods that were used not only gave me more security, also a better development of the proposed activities and most important students were the protagonists of their own training process.

Opening and closing sessions of class gives students a better understanding of what you want with the learning activity and of course makes the scope of learning outcomes.

When I’m looking at my PDP  against the TDP believe that is achieved goal, of course, every day I have to work more on developing skills in teaching methods but it was a very good start, (Guidance & counseling) I improved a lot since it was something not used to do and the result is that I come closer to my students and this activity has allowed me to know them more.


The challenge now facing Organizations and networks development project is one of our greatest weaknesses for which I have much interest in the module 5 and hopefully turn this weakness into a strength in my school.

REFLECTION ACTIVITY OBSERVATION

REFLECTION ACTIVITY OBSERVATION

After making observations with colleagues who allowed me into their classrooms and what I saw in other class sessions it left me a dual feeling because on one hand I am very concerned about the lack of use of social constructivism in schooling and that even the leading role they have are not the students, also excites me to know that there is work to be done with a view to strengthening the training process in my company.

I must say that this situation does not surprise me because this is the result of current policies for recruitment and training of totally different teacher what time backwards in some cases I felt as a University and not in an entity that is for work and work life .


The challenge is great and personally I can do from the educational committee is a support and retraining all teachers SENA pedagogy and new teaching methods where emphasis is made on our social constructivist approach

“IT IS NOT WHO YOU ARE BUT WHOM YOU KNOW”

“IT IS NOT WHO YOU ARE BUT WHOM YOU KNOW”

In our company we work for knowledge networks, in our case we belong to the agricultural network and is responsible for carrying out the curricula of the courses we offer ,through the network they programming the training of human talent is.

In our training Center a way to link to the productive sector of our activities is to make meetings in a group called the Technical Committee in which projects and problems of the Centre with representatives from farming companies are discussed.

In my workplace the SENA EMPRESA strategy, we works under the Agri-Food Chain approach which is very important for networks and work there all productive areas relate Center, we have identified three food chains, dairy chain , Meat chain and Agricultural chain and the emphasis is made to the student about the importance of work under this approach because in this way it provides a more holistic view of the production process.

Nevertheless I believe that there is still much to work for networks, for example there is no mechanism or site that allows us to interact in real time with the companies sponsoring our apprentices or networks with companies in the region with the intention that the Student training project makes solutions for those enterprises arising or links with training centers in other countries have.

A great weakness that we have is that in specific areas is not working for such networks, there is no network of Agricultural Marketing and we have 32 Agricultural Centers at SENA but everyone solves their problems of marketing products as they can, or don´t share information the errors or success stories and surely we are making the same mistakes or wasting already found solutions.

Today it is impossible to detach this interconnected world which gives us more advantages than disadvantages, networking knowledge or information not only national but also international give us another look or new perspectives on our area or problems and the student a more complete and complex view of the world, so personally I have great expectations of this new module of the course because I believe that we must seize the opportunities that can give us connect with the world.
