Reflection

Although this is not the first time that I be elaborate a blog, but it is the first time I write it in the English language. I take this opportunity to invite you to visit it using the following link: http://mdabdub.blogspot.com/

E- Portfolio provided me with tools on the road to higher achievement. This activity helped me to develop cognitive abilities and it provided me formats to process my thinking. Additionally, I can say that this activity motivated me to reflect about my learning.

In keeping with the topic of my blog, e-portfolio is prioritized an educational model based on the student, since this approach provides an increasingly important consideration to the student's responsibility in managing and self-regulating of their learning processes and capacity learning to learn. According to the ULACIT training plan for the student's role in the teaching - learning should be active and participatory and e- portfolio is an excellent strategy, that I enjoyed it.

Which means Understanding?

Which means Understanding?

The focus of teaching for understanding emphasizes that understanding is very closely to, our ability to use what we know in a form creative and competent. Understand not only acquiring knowledge but knowing what to do with them, when and why. Experience is impossible without true understanding that allow us to solve real and relevant to our culture.

Probably as a student, you've just found the situation described in the video. Cheer up, you can learn and understand...

We all have dreams, hopes and goals. To become good professionals we must walk the path of being good students. It is important that students be successful in developing intrinsic motivation to go to reach what they want in the way that is most satisfactory. Teachers also must implement methods and teaching strategies that encourage students to engage actively in the process.

INTRODUCTION

Human thought has been transformed in recent years due in part to many factors, such as increased technology and software capabilities, the introduction of communication networks, as well as discontent with the political models of development economic and educational. Likewise, man has realized that, despite the large deployment of science and technology, many social problems remain. The control we have over nature has brought not only benefits but also serious dangers ecological, social and ethical.

These features of the social context have led to a change in the way that human beings are conceived in relation to others and the world. They have also brought changes in terms of priorities and goals as individuals and as a society. Politics, economics, art, education and even religion are undergoing major shifts in their basic approaches and practices.

In that sense, in terms of teaching, teaching for understanding has come to change the role of the teacher and student. See the teacher as a facilitator and the student as an active, not passive. Teaching conceived as a process, not only as a product. She is interested in the various student learning styles and respects them. Promotes contact with everyday activities, real, not out of context. It is based on discovery learning, "learning by doing." Encourage interaction between people, ie collaborative learning. Considers that social negotiation is critical to learning and promotes understanding

The following blog is intended to show a reader that is the model of teaching for understanding and what our role is as students in this model adopted by ULACIT.

You will find different topics about what is teaching for understanding, your history, Howard Gardner's contribution to the teaching model for understanding the importance of fostering creativity in the student and the benefits on the discussion in the classroom as a learning strategies.

I hope readers; learn about the model established by ULACIT.

His comments were taken into account to improve my e-portfolio, thank you very much.

Roberto:

I like that there´s a lot of information in your blog. I agree that we need to do practices and homework to develop our thinking and make our brains work a little more. 

Try to put images on your blog to give a better aperience.

Rayson:

I think all the posts are very interesting, i think teaching is important, people who teach need to know how to do it, there are some people that doesnt know how to teach and thta is really bad for us. I feel like the blog is really goog but in my opinion it need like more colors on it.

Melody:

It is a very nice topic, but you need to be careful with some aspects like the verb tense used.

I.e.: Are you agree with Sir Ken Robinson? Maybe you could try; do you agree with...?.

I think if you justify the paragraphs, in that way it would look cleaner and more organized.

Overallit is very nice

Maria José:

I like your blog is very important, we think that teaching is very easy, but not, is very important and have many pacience, and is very importance all the thinks or tecqniques hoew to teach. Great Job!

Francisco:

I like it because there is  a lot of information in your blog and of course I think that sometimes in our school teachers try to kill our creativity doing things that never going to help us in our life.

Andrés:

Your contributions are so important, I think many students do not like to do the homework, if teachers send us homeworks is because we need to improve our skills and knowledge. So we have to think about that before complaint with teachers.

Valeska:

I think your blog is interesting topic, because teaching is important, and more people need education and pacience. In my opinion your blog need like more colors. Great!

Dayan:

It is very important that the teaches get to know te importance to how students understand because if they are doing things and the things that they are teachen are not good the students do not undesrtad so it is really good that we follow this teching to undesrstand thats great, and advice to you would be do not write alot of text and put some pictures

Hazel:

I like the fact of knowing which the 15 benefits of the discussion are, because sometimes we do not respect what other people think or know how to respond properly when we disagree. And since, as mentioned companion learn from others about things we did not know. Today many do not like to think and give answers without justification is there when all these items make us think differently. As for the physical part of the tone is very well, maybe a little bigger letter.

Sofía:

I like your blog, it was really nice the way you try to undesrstand the students to help us to undesrstad great job!

Luis Carlos:

I really liked the video over 15 Benefits of discussion, this video is very comprehensive, helps us improve as college students, because sometimes we are dedicated to memorize or learn, that's an easy task and apply it but what is really required as a true professional.
