Job shadowing in Vantaa (Finland)

From 23rd to 28th April, Carlos and Carla, the Economics and English teachers, carried out a job shadowing in the city of Vantaa, Finland, with the aim of learning by observation of the Finnish education system, new methodologies and the management of common spaces in schools.

Through their observation, they have learnt different innovative methodologies that will be put into practice in the next academic year.

The purpose of this Job Shadowing has been to open a new contact with Finland in order to implement the established objectives of the accreditation.

During their stay there, Carlos and Carla have acquired different lessons of improvement for the school Ies Puçol. To highlight the use of open spaces, in which students meet outside the classroom to work on the tasks assigned by the teachers either during class time or to carry out group work during break times. The use of transforming classrooms where different innovative methodologies were used. In this case, several groups of the same subject and level were brought together to work in groups in a classroom larger than ordinary classrooms, while one teacher taught the corresponding content and two other teachers provided support for the pupils’ work. The implementation of what has been learnt during the next academic year will be improved by taking advantage of the good climate and outdoor spaces at the IES Puçol school, a limitation observed at the Finnish school.

Desde el 23 al 28 de abril, los profesores de Economía e Inglés Carlos y Carla realizaron un job shadowing en la ciudad de Vantaa, en Finlandia, con el objetivo de realizar un aprendizaje por observación del sistema educativo finés, nuevas metodologías y la gestión de espacios comunes en los centros educativos.

Con su observación han aprendido diferentes metodologías innovadoras que se empezarán a trabajar en el próximo curso.

El propósito de este Job Shadowing ha sido abrir un nuevo contacto con Finlandia para implementar los objetivos establecidos de la acreditación.

En su estancia allí, Carlos y Carla han adquirido diferentes aprendizajes de mejora para el centro Ies Puçol. Destacar el uso de espacios abiertos, en el cual, el alumnado se reúne fuera de las aulas para trabajar las tareas encomendadas por el profesorado ya fuera durante la clase lectiva o para realizar trabajos grupales en horario de descanso. La utilización de aulas transformadoras donde se trabajaban diferentes metodologías innovadoras. En este caso, en el interior de un aula con una dimensión superior al de las aulas ordinarias se unían varios grupos de la misma materia y mismo nivel para trabajar en grupos, mientras una docente impartía los contenidos correspondientes y otras dos profesoras servían de apoyo para el trabajo del alumnado. La implementación de lo aprendido a lo largo del próximo curso se intentará mejorar aprovechando el buen clima y los espacios al aire libre del centro IES Puçol, limitación observada en el centro finés.

Thursday was a day of work in the ICT classrooms to give shape to their ideas, show their concerns and generate solutions. But not everything was academic training activities, that same day we enjoyed a Bongos workshop and a party in the garden where we planted different crops to promote their consumption with recipes and tips that were accessed with generated QR codes, we completed nutritional pyramids, we learned about climate diet and enjoyed fruit smoothies. And the final touch, as is traditional in Valencia, was the tasting of paella.

El dijous, dia de treball a les aules TIC per a donar forma a les seues idees, mostrar les seues preocupacions i generar solucions. Però no tot han sigut activitats de formació acadèmica, aquest mateix dia gaudírem d’un taller de Bongos i una festa en l’Hort on vam plantar diferents cultius per a fomentar el seu consum amb receptes i consells als quals s’accedia amb codis QR, vam completar piràmides nutricionals, vam aprendre sobre dieta climatariana i gaudírem de batuts de fruites. I el fermall final i com a València és tradició, la degustació d’una paella.
