Hellou, I am Lola and this week I am the translator... so I have collected the five most important terms that has been learnt on the week, and also I have to include the definition of each concept.
The five terms that I have selected are the following:
A mind map: is a diagram used
to visually outline information. A mind map is often created around a single word
or text, placed in the centre, to which associated ideas, words and concepts
are added. Major categories radiate from a central node, and lesser categories
are sub-branches of larger branches. Categories can represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items related to a central
key word or idea.
Mind maps can be drawn by hand, either as
"rough notes" during a lecture or meeting, for example, or as higher
quality pictures when more time is available. An example of a rough mind map is
illustrated.
Mind maps are considered to be a type
of spider diagram. A similar concept in
the 1970s was "idea sun bursting"
Education: in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of
a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through
teaching, training, or research. Education frequently takes place under the
guidance of others, but may also be autodidactic. Any experience that has a formative
effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.
Education is commonly divided into stages such as preschool, primary
school, secondary
school and then college, university or apprenticeship.
A right to education has been recognized by some
governments. At the global level, Article 13 of the United
Nations' 1966 International
Covention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognises the right of everyone to an education.
Although education is compulsory in most places up to a certain age,
attendance at school often isn't, and a minority of parents
choose home-schooling, e-learning or similar for their children.
Teaching-
staff meeting: It is the body of all the teachers who provide educational
services at the Centre where they are. We can consider it as a tecnical-pedagogical
body which plans, coordinates, decides, advises and assesses on all educational
activities that are undertaken within the school. Its main function is the teaching of all learners incorporated into
the Centre.
The management
team is responsible for convening the
teachers´ staff meeting in writing, including the issues to be discussed in the
order of the day.
The
Director of the Centre will be responsible for convening and chairing a
meeting, especially the teachers faculty.
· School Council: It is the name given to a
collegiate institution whose functions extend to the control of the management
of schools, but given their higher level
issues, includes a large group not strictly teachers, although their
competence level differs according to countries in different educational
systems.
It tends to be made up of members of the
management of the property (in the case of private establishments), director, head
of studies, and the various sectors involved: representatives chosen by
teachers, students, parents of students and non- faculty staff (administration
and services), in different proportions.
Law is a term which does not have a universally accepted definition, but one definition is that law is a system of rules and guidelines which are enforced through social institutions to govern behaviour. Laws can be made by legislatures through legislation , the executive through decrees and regulations, or judges through binding precedents. Private individuals can create legally binding contracts, including arbitration agreements that exclude the normal court process.
The formation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution and the rights encoded therein. The law shapes politics, economics, and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.
