already all know the many shortcomings that has our educational system today and how difficult it is to find effective solutions, but if we ask where are the shortcomings of education, the answer would hardly alone in the formal educational system, does the education takes place only at school? all, the media, the family, the city, are all learning environments for students and we know how to use even as objects of motivation.
know that in the globalized world in which we find is very easy to find information, just a single click to read, see or hear what we want when we want it, and of course that this situation is alien to education, moreover, must be one of the easiest to perceive changes in our classrooms and one of the most significant as well, This technological evolution that genre without change we knew how to study for our students and ourselves, the work and research of students no longer take place in libraries, but are made easy and fast in front of a computer without making greater intellectual activity. So how we could make significant student learning?, Apparently the implementation of the Internet is not enough.
What motivates our students? (Not going to think "nothing") as we have seen throughout our blog, and in general through our practices, people are motivated to various factors generally depend on the individual and others are more general, such as: the example of someone you admire (Maria wanted to be smart as their parents), to innovation within the classroom (the film is effective in relating the content of the classes with reality), the opportunity to get a better quality of life (which has not been achieved in school), have close contact with students and generate a good relations between members of the school community is essential for confidence in our students. To this we can add all tastes and personal situations of our students, we know very well within the classroom where people live totally different from each other, that's how some of our music students may seem ideal to concentrate and be inspired, for another the best way to get information may be watching videos and documentaries perhaps more than anyone will like the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving classes in a park, or that kind of language is language and not really writing class quiet. Generally what we do as educators, whether teachers or parents, is to ignore this kind of likes having students, tastes that influence their willingness to strive and encouraged by the materials. Generally these tastes (or guidance to some type of work have our students) are not hard to find or build and are quite close to our classrooms, all schools are equipped with monitors, music players, and above all, with teachers who can do their work and only need to open their eyes.
As teachers and parents that we were incorporating these tastes of students and children to the daily routine in a balanced manner with responsibility and expertise to be delivered, the quality of education would increase and our cultural level also, specific knowledge associated with different sciences and situations increase the possibility of creating meaningful learning and at the same time to feel wiser, and capable of learning automata, the motivation to take us on track to grow as teachers and children as people wise.
