THE TEACHERS
Friday, May 13, 2011
Two cases very sad happened in our region in public schools, and filled the front pages of our newspaper El Mundo de Orizaba, one of tying the student to a basic education to their bench to avoid to give vent to his concerns, and then pretend to deprive him of an inalienable constitutional right, to deny the access to school, luckily the school supervisory intervention in this area prevented a more terrible damage. that of a secondary school student was physically assaulted by a teacher to cut off his braid to avoid wearing head ornaments which "transgressed" regulation boarding school.
Cases like these, not only confirm the concern that external always Latapí Sarre Dr. Paul for over thirty years of a fruitful life dedicated to the analysis, research and advice educational holders of the Secretariat of Public Education.
Finale In his posthumous book Prestissimo. Thoughts, experiences and testimonies Latapí Paul makes an attempt to make a brief summary of its vast work to collect and transfer to new generations of researchers and education specialists a legacy that he himself had created doubt.
face this great challenge and effort around a series of educational concepts, I try to present, taking advantage of the proximity of an important date: May 15, Teacher's Day Some ideas and reflections on the important role performed by the teacher.
Paul says that our teachers work under very unfavorable for the quality of their teaching. The school day is only four hours, many are double square, do not have paid time to correct homework and prepare lessons and much less to talk with students or parents.
To this is added that the time spent actually teaching and learning is greatly reduced, since during the class roll call, there are warnings, resolve questionnaires.
In my perception, says Latapí Sarre, few teachers are aware of what it means "learning to learn" and transition the stage of metacognition in students, usually between ten and eleven. The primary objective should be to learn to read in understanding what is read, and the evaluations show that this objective is being achieved. This would be a turning point for transforming the teaching in our educational system.
The teacher is the main factor in the quality of education. Quality begins on the "micro" in the teacher-student pedagogical relationship. The critical features of a good teacher are: a sense of vocation, love their students, to take you to engage with overcoming, accountability, professional training and fulfilling their obligations.
The teaching of basic and secondary education in the country is very heterogeneous and poorly understood. It is strata by age, gender, type of training they received, experience, regional traditions in the country, etc. National policies are often inadequate, must be modulated by the authorities of each state to adapt to reality.
The many reforms curriculum undertaken since the SEP have had little impact in practice because not based on the real problems of teaching. Teachers often view them as events that "happen" as they "remain," the teaching profession is an essentially conservative, his mind is inclined to follow instructions, in that is their safety. Longer believe in the advice of his colleagues about what to accept a reform that in the distant authorities.
is impossible to approach teachers, stresses Paul Latapí, regardless of dependency and subordination to a union that has exceeded its powers. It is a "profession stripped" without professional initiatives of their own, without autonomous areas to upgrade and unable to interact fruitfully with the authorities, the SNTE has become a "single point" with them at the expense of the teaching profession.
Finally we hope that this day May 15 my fellow teachers reflect on the important role he plays in the formation of critical generations aware of their social environment to transform it based on universal values.
