Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012: Presentation teacher

Today we did the presentation of the class. Because it was the first time that we had this class.

The teacher gived us the subject synopsis in which appeared the things of this subject. For example, the duration, requeriments, objectives, competences, assessment etc.

The following link is the subject synopsis.

Later ,we saw a presentation about how the class is going to be. First of all, we had to present ourselves saying our name, age and nationality how was our experience in the first course, if we have any experience teaching physical activities, and our hobbies. 

Moreover, we saw the lesson, the methodology of the class and some bibliography which is very useful.

OPINION.

I think that the subject synopsis is very useful for us as students because we have to know what we have to do in order to pass de subject and also to do not feel lose.

In the first link you can see some objectives that I complitely agree:

-Understand the principles of PE.

-To know the curricular components. / It is very important because all the teachers have to know the curricular components in order to make a class, evaluate students etc.

-To know the different blocks in Primary Education. / It is also important because as a teacher we have to know and understand the block that students must follow during the Primary Education.

Moreover, there are competences:

-To know the social and educational dimension of interaction with peers and to know how to promote participation, cooperative work and individual responsability. / For me this competence is neccesary to teachers because they have to inculcate in children responsabililty, cooperation, participation in groups´ work and also children have to be responsibles in his own. 

Besides, an other competence says that we as a students have to design teacher strategies to the curriculum.

Another competene which is necessary in this subject is to value the significance of physical activity in the proffesional practice. Because I think that the PE teacher has to be a physical active person in order to teach students to be an active person.

Moreover, I think that the presentation of us is good because the teacher has to know how where are, our hobbies, experice in PE in order to do the class better. As a teachers the presentation is useful and also it is a funny activity where children can express different things. 

Furtheremore, about the methodology of the class I think that it will be good. Because We are going to have presentations of the teacher that we are going to discuss later. And also we have activities and workshop related to the Lesson. Besides, we are going to analize, create and desing physical activities which are very useful for us as a future teachers.
