This week
we have worked about TPACK, it is our first activity that we do in this subject
and we have tried to do it as good as possible but of course we have to improve
many things.
Here is my analytical
vision about the week:
a)
What was the best part of the
activity?
The best part of the activity
was the experience that we have had about creating our first blog, it has been
the first time that we have to do this kind of things. Working on groups for
these kind of activities are very interesting and we are very enthusiasm with
this subject because is not a theoretical subject. We can learn a lot of
resources for our future class, we can do original things instead of the typical
class with the textbook and this I think it’s more attractive for children.
The task about TPACK is also very interesting
and useful for us in the future. We must know the different kinds of teaching
and what it is the best in every situation because our goals are that children could
learn in a very good way, and for this, we have to use contents, pedagogy and
technology at the same time. It is the
best way for teaching and we must do it as good as we can because we want to be
very good teachers!
b)
What was the worse?
The worse part of the activity was
the fact that we have never done this type of tasks and we were a little lost
at the beginning because all the things were new for us. We haven’t worked in
this way because we have never study this kinds of things in the school
although it is supposed that we have to learn it. In the curriculum appears the
forth competence that we have to learn is “Tratamiento de la información y
competencia digital” . In
particular, in the block four that is called “Internet y redes sociales
virtuales” there is one point: “La información y la comunicación como
fuentes de comprensión y transformación del entorno social: comunidades
virtuales y globalización. Chatrooms,
foros, weblogs o blogs, wikis, BSCW”. There are many things in the curriculum
that we haven’t learnt in the school about technologies. There is a link of the
curriculum of the subject of informatics in 4th of ESO that show the
thinks that it is supposed to teach at this course:
The question is that what it is the reason
because teachers don’t do the things that the curriculum shows.
Because of that, we have to dedicate
a lot of time in this subject and we haven’t got enough for the others.
c)
What was the best moment of the week
(in the work of the group)?
The best moment of the
week was when we were already coordinate as a group. Each person had their own
role and each one knew what they had to do in their role, we have known how to
post in the blog, how to change the things in the blog, when we have the
twitter done... The best moment of the week has been the moment when we have
already explored all the things we have to do and we can use them with any
difficulty so we are proud of ourselves.
We, now, know the specifics
objectives that the subject has. We can have an idea and we are less afraid
than before.
d)
What was the worse?
The worse
moment of the week was at the beginning because we had never worked together as
a group and for the first time it’s a difficult task to coordinate 8 people who
work in different ways.
There were
a lot of things new for us and we have had only one week for coordinate us and
know how to use all the things that the teacher asked for, so we felt a bit
overwhelmed at first because we thought that it was a lot of things in not
enough time and if this week we have to work a lot in this subject, the next
weeks will be the same, so we were a little afraid because we didn’t know
anything about the subject. We thought that this subject will be very difficult
because we have to discover things for ourselves and we have never done this before
and we were a little lost.
e)
What have you learnt?
First of
all, we have learnt that there is another kind of teaching, that it’s called
“Aprendizaje por tareas” and it isn’t a teacher that explains a lesson with a
book while the students are sitting in their chairs just listening to him. This
kind of teaching is different, the teacher proposes a task and the student has
to investigate it using a range of resources. The teacher doesn’t explain
anything, except when the student asks him a concrete doubt. Thanks of that, we
know that this kind of teaching also can be used in our future class with our
students.
For working
in this subject, we also have to do a group and coordinate us, because it was
the first time we work together. Each member of the group have a different role
in the task so we have to know what were the different roles and the function
of each one, for example, the curator farmer of this week have had to investigate
how to use the pearltree because she has to do one and she had never done one.
Another
thing that we have learnt is how to do a blog and to use it. We must do a blog
for post every week our work so we have to do one and decorate it the best as
possible and it was the first time that we do one. So we have had to
investigate how to do a blog and decorate searching different pages in
internet.
Also, we have learnt to do an investigation
work with a specific topic the group and divide up the things we have to do.
This week, we have to investigate about what TPCAK is, and we can realize the
importance that TPACK has in the teaching process, because TPACK contains the
three broader domains, TPACK is the technological pedagogical content
knowledge. And inside TPACK we can distinguish also the TCK (technological
content knowledge) , PCK (pedagogical content knowledge) and TPK (technological
pedagogical knowledge).
Another
thing that we have learnt this week and we thing that it will be very useful
for our future as a teachers is the presentation in where we have to presenting
and explain what TPACK means for our colleagues. This experience seems that we
are real teachers and we can feel as a teacher too.
f)
What do you need to conserve –as a
group- for the next weeks?
We must keep the
enthusiasm to do the best job because we are keen to learn many things about
the different resources we can use in the future for our class and put aside
the typical class with the textbook and do another dynamics things because
children would be more interested in classes that don’t use the typical
methodology.
We must conserve that we
have to take it seriously always and work as much as possible for doing the
best job not only for the best mark, because this kind of resources are very
useful in the future.
Also, we have to help each other
because we are a group and we must to be united so if someone in the group need
help because doesn’t know something the other members must help her and oppose
the problems together. Because this is that real groups do.
g)
What do you need to improve –as a
group- for the next weeks?
We need to improve the
coordination of the group because at first we haven’t known exactly what we
have to do and how we could divide the work for each member do a part and everyone
has to know her own task according to her role and we will improve our work
because we will see the mistakes that we have done in this week and we must try
to don’t repeat the same mistakes making each one their work well.
Also, we have to learn to divide our
time better and dedicate more time for the others subjects because this week we
haven’t dedicate enough time for the others and we have much work to advance.
h)
How THIS content is related to other
contents in the course and in your degree?
This content is related
with the way teachers should teach, they must teach the content in a pedagogical
way using the new technologies. Thanks TPACK we can analyse the way our
teachers use to teach us, we can confirm that old teachers, for example, don’t
use so much technology and nowadays this is the future because technology are
now introducing in the broader range of education and when we are teachers the
most of the schools may use the technology for a way for teach.
We are going to be primary teachers, so we
must know about this kind of teaching in order to motive children to learn in an
interesting way.
We can categorize the
different subjects that we have had in the first course into the three domains
of TPCAK:
Contents: “Teorias e instituciones contemporáneas de la educación”,
“Planificación de la acción educativa”, English, “Comunicación oral y escrita
de la lengua española”
Pedagological: Developmental Psychology, Educational Psychology,
Sociology, “Diversidad del alumnado y acción tutorial”.
Technological:
ICT.
There is a subject that use TPACK:
School organization and educational resources, this subject use the technological
pedagogical content knowledge because we learn the contents always in a
technological way and also we learn pedagogical contents in it so we can say
that it uses the model of TPACK.
Each
teacher has their own way to teach but after studying what TPACK means, we have
realize that the best way of teaching is using the TPACK model because it is
the most complete.
i)
There is any evident social
connection of this content (news, politics, etc.)?
Nowadays
there is an increase in the use of social networks like: Facebook, Twitter,
Tuenti... and technologies in general. We, as teachers, have to be updated
because children must know how to work with the facilities that technology
offers because work with technology is the future and we have to know it for
can teach for our students in the future. And moreover we should know this kind
of things for having resources and for doing an interactive class in which not
only a textbook can be used to teach.
Recently, there are many activities for
children that they can do with technology. This is an example of 100 educative
resources where children can use do with technology in Murcia:
