Hello
everyone, today I’ll talk about the study program of the career of psychology
of the University of Chile, which is the career that I’m studying.
In this
moment there are two years and a half with obligatory subjects, then one year
and a half with optional subjects and a year to do the practice, memory and
diplomat. I think that while more freedom we have to choose what we want to
learn, we would learn more and better, so maybe would be good if the subjects
could be chosen from the beginning. Someone could think that it’s impossible
because we would need a lot of teachers and subjects, but maybe if we had the
option to choose just two or three subjects each semester, we would learn
deeply.
The
teaching methods I think that should be centered on the students, and that
makes all the classes would be different because all the students or groups of
students are different. Now we are treated as if we were blank pages, there is
a program which have to be respected, even if isn’t working. I would change the
evaluations too, maybe suppress them, if the student don’t learn in a subject isn’t
his fault, maybe is because he isn’t interested, so the next semester he could
choose another kind of subject or teacher, or be changed at any time, there no
need to wait… Maybe the best thing would be that there was not an inscription
to the subject, so the students could attend the classes that they want.
The length
of studies could be flexible depending on what each one wants to do. The facilities
of the university also depends, I couldn’t say what we all need, I don’t think it would be right to ask
indiscriminately, we would have to evaluate each need in a balanced way. And
for technology applies the same… For example I would ask musical instruments,
some medicinal plants or drugs, because that is also technology and could be
beneficial for our personal growth and enhance our therapeutic skills, among
other things, but another person could require something very different.
I know that
all this is hard to apply, but I think that what we understand by education is constantly changing and
maybe this in some decades will be common, or maybe not.
Bye!
I think that your idea about not register in a subject and can assist to any subject ! would be ideal
ResponderEliminarHi Vicente, I kinda agree with you in this idea you said about not register a subject and can assist. I don´t agree in the first, but it´s for a logistical reason. I believe that the university must know how many people want to take the course, so they can see the type of room we need (small or big), also because I think we learn better when the group is small, so knowing these can make them to do many sections. On the other way, I think they shouldn´t give quotas, I believe we all deserve the opportunity to learn the subjets we want.
ResponderEliminarHi Vicente! I think that some test are bad because the teachers don't evaluate well. Sometimes, I have had bad grades for that reason.
ResponderEliminarHi Vicente, I agree with you in all what you said, I think that university should be more free and not an obligation so student could be more motivated to learn
ResponderEliminarhi vicho,
ResponderEliminari agree with you, and i think its so complex the way use the university for evaluated us. we need more freedom and a bigger course offer
ResponderEliminarI think it is an excellent idea that all subjects are optional, since the subjects at the beginning could be approached in different ways and everything would be more pleasant to do
