Translator Post

Hi, readers! I’m Blanca and I have the role of Translator this week. It’s nice to write once again in our blog about the last task “What we have learnt during the course in School Organization”. This role consists on explaining the five most important words of the week. It has to include the definition of each concept with my own words and based on academic resources. The words I have chosen are:

Competence: A competence is a learning that we can apply to resolve problems that happen in live. It is necessary the knowledge related to each subject to develop the education. The main competencies which can be highlighted are: personal, social and ethical competencies.

The personal competence is all this information that is important to us as future teachers; we also should be teachers in a TPACK framework.

In social competence we have learnt working in groups respecting other ideas, dialoguing, dealing problems…

The ethical competence consists of respecting other cultures, religions or don’t influenced children with our own thoughts.

Context: is a set of circumstances or facts which surround a particular event, situation, statement or idea. Related to education, the two most important backgrounds are social and the economic context. There are some problems in the public school, such us the money, the economic context, the cultural context (which consists on respecting other cultures, religions, etc) and the age (which is composed by the mental and the chronological age).

Knowledge: is a human faculty which results from interpreted information and from understanding information, concepts, experiences or individual interpretation through experience, association or education. In an organizational context, knowledge is an important element in the intelligence and the competences of people.

Moovly: is a web tool which is used to create videos, presentations being attractive to children and adults. With this tool, we forget about slides adding for example: voice, sound, music, etc. It has a timeline interface with which you can synchronize everything you put on the video. Then, when you have finished, you can publish it on YouTube, Facebook, put it on a website or download it. The presentations 3.0 can be done with animations of the same web, Moovly. With it, it is easy to convert the traditional presentations into creative videos.

Objective: is the proposition of a goal or purpose to be achieved, and that, according to the area where it is used, has some level of complexity. It is one of the key players in the planning process. A goal can be achieved individually or otherwise, as a group, for the formation of a team. In both cases, efforts and will be moved by prior arrangement to achieve the objectives.

Finally, I would like to say I have learnt a lot during the semester of this subject and that with this final task, I realized how much we have acquired. At first, it may seem that you have learned a lot, but it is with this type of activities when you understand the development of creativity, the passion of teachers, the importance of education and above all, the way you want your students to learn in the future.

Greetings!
