Full ahead, analyst!

Hi followers! This week we have passed the Equator of the subject so we have started to work in ORGANISATION, it seems very hard to learn but we are going to do it thanks to a game. In the first face of the game we had to create a conceptual map about topics:
3 Organisation of Primary Education and 
6 Administration and Governance at Local and/or Institutional Level II
Let's see our reflection.

a. What was the best part of the activity? 
The best part of the activity was when we finished the conceptual map and we could put it on internet.

b. What was the worse? 

The worst part of the week has been when we had to read the topic in English and then look for the changes between LOE and LOMCE in Spanish, terms like school board, teacher assambly or pedagogical coordination commission are very specific names and for some people in our group it is the first time we heard those words.

c. What was the best moment of the week (in the work of the group)? 

The best moment of the week in the work of the group was when we motivated each other in order to do the best conceptual map to have a higher grade.

d. What was the worse? 

The worst part of the week in the group was when we had to decide about putting the functions of the different cllegial bodies or not and also with which tool use to do the map, it was difficult to choose one because we had diverse opinions in both problems.

e. What have you learnt? 

We have learnt contents and technology.

Referred to contents: `
-Almost everything in education is regulated, it is a good new because it is suppose that education is going to be the same for everyone, every single child is going to have the same education but it is not good because you limit the autonomy of the teacher. We learnt aboy the organisation in Primary School and about the goverment of the Pre- Primary, Primary and Secondary schools.
- What a conceptual map is?

Reffered to technology:
- Diferent tools to create conceptual maps. We did our first conceptual maps with MindProject but then the general conceptual map wit the ideas of other groups of the class (Little Ants, Hide and Seek) we used CMap Tools.
- How to transform a conceptual map into an url to put the link to our mates in order to study our conceptual map.

f. What do you need to conserve -as a group- for the next weeks? 

Each member has a virtue and a function inside the group so in general we work well together, we all work very hard and we try to help each other. When something can be done in a better way we talk to the person with respect and pointing other view or solution. We do mini groups with different tasks that allosw us to work in parallel.

g. What do you need to improve –as a group- for the next weeks?

We need to trust more in our work and in our capacities. At the beginnig of the task we feel overwhelmed because we do not know how to do it and we lose time thinking about it, we need to learn how to work efficiently under preassure.
h. How THIS content is related to other contents in the course and in your degree? 

The content that we have studied (topics 3 and 6) are part of the six topics that the second part of the subject is composed. It is related to "Planificación de la Acción Educativa", in this subject we saw that everything was establish in the law but we do not went too deep like now. 

i. There is any evident social connection of this content (news, politics, etc.)? 

Yes, of course. The LOMCE law is limitating the power of the school board, with the LOE they could approve or decide important issues but now thet can just inform. All the power that the school board is losing is going to the school head, that implies that he or she can decide about important aspects without the members of the school board like parents, teachers, students and others.

It seems that the school head has too much power with the new law and for us this is dangerous because we are losing the sense of PUBLIC, if the school head can decide about who are working in his/her school and who are his/her students, are we talking about public education or private education ? The board is not clear...
