Rediscovering the school community

Article made by Xochitl Lizeth Montes Solis day-to-day housing of the students from a geographical perspective, photos, videos, investigations, interviews with many different individuals, 3D design of the community and a sketch were also made to add and create to represent better my team analysis and to enrich the video-documentary

First of all, in the short time that I have been an student at Normal it has taught me what it really is to be a teacher, because when I was a Basic Education student I have met various types of teachers of whom I got the idea that teaching was an easy job, that it was the one who only dedicated themself to repeating what they showed us, learning everything by memory like reading books, now I have seen a great difference, the history, an evolution, corrections to the old ideas, techniques, and plans that I did not have any idea it existed Currently I have realized that a teacher is not only the one who teaches, but also has the arduous task of guiding the individual, the student, giving them all the knowledge and ability that will be necessary to help them build their future to be able to live in the world, in a single correct and summarized word, the action that the teachers must apply is to educate.

Educating also means shaping the experience of a student, in a personal way, until extending it to coexist with other members, it implies more than teaching environmental issues, it involves the formation of behavior as well as values, rights and obligations, or as mentioned in the Secretaría de Educación Pública, it’s an instrument that guarantees equity and access to a better quality of life, that is why being educated is a right and obligation that society applies

Since the previous Basic Education plans, importance has reached into teaching the studies of multiple sciences, geography is one of them, its name means the study of the Earth Most individuals associate this science with maps, which is correct, it is part of geography, it is a branch called cartography, but it also implies teaching about what is seen on the Earth's surface, that is to say, an analysis of the environment where one lives and its physical, biological, social, and economic elements, being determined in a specific space and time, the limit is decided, it can be from a neighborhood, a small town, a city, country, a continent or everyone, among others From the point of view of Navarro (SEP 2017) he mentions that teaching geography implies that the student must know how to live in space, and I also agree that the goal of the study is to educate with the values of justice, equity, freedom and peace

The teaching practice is a fundamental exercise to complete the study of our education career, we start from the first semester with the observation of one school to another, with this it helps us to understand the school context from zero, the smallest detail of the school is observed , such as its external and internal infrastructure, the behavior of the children, even the teaching methodology of the teacher. Since the first day, some activities have been carried out and certain aspects have been investigated to understand the environment of the institution. In fact, the project carried out "the community-territory" is a good example of how to promote the understanding of teaching practice, because it has helped me made clear the value of knowing the geographical components that surround the members of the school, to do a good job of teaching you have to know the children and their space

The school and community context can also be examined from a philosophical perspective, since it has almost the same purpose as education, the love of wisdom, it studies problems such as knowledge, the mind, ethics, conscience, and morality through a criticism, reflection and accompanied with individual or community dialogue, that is why it is possible that philosophy can study education, the discipline wants to understand the human direction. In addition, philosophy is one more course that must be applied in teaching practice, it is mandatory and important to have it because it gives more tools and facilities to know the context during teaching practice with social methods for studying the school space as phenomena and social process. Curiously, there is the discipline of humanist geography which helps to interpret the relationships of the man and the environment, it was helpful to understand the intention of the project.

Now from the pedagogical angle, the exploration of teaching in the school and community context can be taken as an activity of the methodology of science, called "situated teaching", which is situated learning of experiencing the meaning from real life daily activities, in my case as a student from the Normal, the observation at a new school is an example, because it consists of visiting an institution, in an unknown environment, we get to know it and we maintain contact with the staff who are immersed in the experience and can provide us with understanding the space While sociocritical pedagogy becomes important in the reflective approach of the teacher's environment as an individual among other individuals

On the other hand, I have studied the multiple approaches and paradigms that geography has contributed in history, previously I have mentioned the relationship of my research with the approach of the humanist geography, I have also realized that the environmental and automated geography contributed equally by giving importance to the study of the environment and its components such as natural, social, cultural and that I used geotechnology, especially using the sites of satellite maps, this means that the positivist paradigm works more for the teachers to know the school and its humanitarian context.

Regarding the position of sustainability, the value of education emphasizes global citizenship, because it is where the children arrives when they finish their learning, and thanks to itself, education exists, it was the decision of the citizens to create the space where a group of people live, fulfilling the elements required to have a sustainable territory, such as parks, retail, restaurants, grocery stores, roads, public transportation, and others, but the most notable should be schools, because as Xosé Souto (2005) mentions, the school can fix the day-to-day problems with urbanization from a geographical approach

In general, the realization of the project had a great impact on developing my teaching career in a personal, in a social and professional way, knowing better the community-territory where the school belongs, I also realized that its purpose was clear, to prepare the training of a teacher it is necessary to understand the promotion of the understanding of practical teaching from the approach to the school context, which is where the students live, as well their families, and as a teacher you can have a better approach and understanding of the children to be taught.

Finally, I will show you the link to see the video-documentary made by me and my teammate Yosef Balderas Hernández from group C.

Informe del diagnóstico de la cultura digital

Objetivo del diagnóstico sobre la Cultura Digital

La cultura digital se define como el contexto del espacio de trabajo influenciado por herramientas y tecnologías digitales. El objetivo del diagnóstico es recolectar y demostrar la información investigada de un espacio escolar limitado con ayuda del personal escolar y alumnado, observando y entrevistando a través de notas y encuestas que he decidido aplicar en el espacio seleccionado, en este caso de un salón de quinto grado de primaria (grupos únicos)

La información recolectada, además de presentar la cultura digital del espacio observado, también cumplirá la meta de ser usada para ayudar en la realización de un “Entorno Virtual de Aprendizaje” para su futuro

Sujetos participantes y centro escolar

El centro escolar observado fue la Escuela Primaria “Reforma”, turno vespertino, la institución se encuentra dentro del municipio de Monterrey en la colonia Unidad Modelo Para definir la cultura digital del salón de 5o grado fue necesario involucrar a los alumnos, contando veinte alumnos en total, más el docente encargado del aula con ayuda de encuestas. El tiempo para recuperación de datos para los alumnos con las encuestas fue breve, debido a que cada alumno le tomaba entre un minuto o dos en contestarme, eran preguntas simples, y en cuanto al maestro, le debió tomar cinco minutos máximo en contestar su encuesta, creo que en total fue entre veinte y treinta minutos para la recolección de datos, en un mismo día.

A primera vista que tomé de la escuela, fue que no cuentan con una sala de cómputo, pero en algunos grupos como al que observé de quinto grado, el docente se tomaba como recurso primordial el mostrar sus clases con ayuda de su propia laptop y proyector, indicaba una experiencia previa del uso de la tecnología al alumnado

Proceso

Enlistado del proceso que se llevó a cabo para recolectar la información:

La decisión de cómo recolectar la información y la realización del primer borrador de los instrumentos, las encuestas, una para el maestro y otra para los alumnos, fue realizada el 5 de marzo con una duración de quince minutos, a mano

La versión final de las encuestas fueron procesadas en la aplicación de Google Forms el 9 de marzo, un par de días antes de la jornada de observación, las preguntas fueron editadas y mejoradas para mejor comprensión de los alumnos y maestro, además de tomar en cuenta que deberá pedir una lista de asistencia del salón para saber quienes han sido involucrados, se tomó una hora para la realización en computadora.

El primer día de observación, lunes 13 de marzo, el docente primeramente entregó una copia de la lista de asistencia del grupo de quinto grado, y en ese mismo día recorrí y observé la escuela durante receso (treinta minutos) para identificar el uso de la tecnología.

El día martes, se le explicó al maestro el propósito de la actividad y la realización de encuestas para decidir el tiempo para aplicarlo entre clases, pero por sugerencia mejor se compartió los vínculos para contestarlos en su casa cada quien, debido a que el salón cuenta con grupo de Whatsapp con su maestro para que los alumnos y/o padres de familia recibieran avisos de la escuela, y así no se interrumpiría las clases Antes de salir, el maestro tomó un par de minutos para dar la indicación de contestar la encuesta como tarea y de también compartir el vínculo en ese momento

Al día siguiente, miércoles, antes de comenzar clases, se observó que sólo tres de veinte alumnos habían contestado la encuesta, así que para no presentar otro incidente, le pedí al docente que me diera permiso de tomar su tiempo, para recolectar más rápido la información y contestar dudas a los alumnos, abrí la aplicación del Google Forms en celular y se entrevistó a cada estudiante, se aplicó antes de receso, con veinte-treinta minutos, y al mismo tiempo el maestro contestó su encuesta en su propio dispositivo. Ese mismo día se recolectó toda la información necesaria.

El domingo 19, se realizó el informe del diagnóstico basándose en las respuestas y gráficas que se procesaron en los instrumentos aplicados.
