WHAT IS TO BE A VOCATIONAL TEACHER?

FIRST ESSAY
By, Clara Patricia Villabona. The Winners Team.
Education has been running various forms or models as the Ausbel,
Vigostky just to name some of the many professionals learning over the
years; different theories of learning were essentially concerned the way
of how you learn, leaving aside the what is learned, who learn about
design, guide, guide and collaborate in and on the way to find the great
significance of learning applied to life and not live to study.
Live to study we can be formed or perhaps shaped by different types of
teachers who feel the work of teach sometimes with a minimum of
personal satisfaction, hard run or frustration, sometimes while learning
applied to life we find very likely made teachers personally and
professionally, developing the great task of teaching learning and
evaluation of fun way allowing to develop innovation, creativity, giving
meaning to each of the tours and finding a target real and working life.
These teachers enjoy their professional Studio taking us through
guidance, support, advice, allowing collaborative work, trust, and
mutual credibility of the student and the teacher, in a variety of
environments, all this, focused on achieving a learning for life.
So, as the Haaga Helia University developed a whole program for
teachers professional training with a focus on Areas of expertise and
evaluation criteria, as we can see it then;

Would according to the above leaps to my mind a series of questions
whose answers can be found to say that our work of educational
professionals should be a continuous process of evaluation and
permanent reflection, the, what?, how? and for what?, developing my
teaching work, collaboration and coherence to the current productive
work environment, fostering community learning environments with
students, family, company, other teachers and enabling research and
development of a comprehensive training.
Our professional teaching work, must allow the student be permanently
motivated, have full confidence both in our professional, educational,
skills of relationship and collaboration with my colleagues, with the
community, with the family, with working life.
It is as well as vocational education must be based on a profession,
relating to competence in working life, the pedagogical competences,
pedagogy is a way of interpreting the education, to build knowledge in
favour of solving problems of social and productive. This is how the
professional teacher must have the ability to design strategies,
environments and activities that enable student to visualize the future,
serving as a productive being, as professional teachers must be able to
accept the change of methods and labor strategies thus make an
investigation according to the progress in different industrial sectors,
facilitating activities of teaching - learning and evaluation with relevance
coherence and effectiveness to the current working life.
In Colombia, speaking of excellent teachers, but tied the excellence with
the basic skills of mathematics, science, literacy, coexistence, leaving in
the unseen or without mention or present a holistic education, according
to the globalization of working life.
Today's students questioned permanently the what serves me, how and
where to apply the information received from the primary, secondary,
and University School, questions that sometimes are not resolved by
teachers, since these do not have not had a relationship with the
professional working life.
The technological advances used in an expert manner by students, such
as social networks, local, national and foreign communities, sometimes
are rejected by the teachers, because there is a commitment to applied
research to propose new and up-to-date methods of teaching/learning
and assessment, i.e., develop the capacity for "Research in the
classroom".
THE PROPOSAL FROM HAAGA HELIA. SCHOOL OF VOCATIONAL
TEACHER EDUCATION.SENA 2014.


GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING.


i ii


We can have two concepts that are important for this competition, the
related to the teaching practice or the "technical teacher"
iii
and the
"technical adviser" , the technician-teacher is the one who applies and
develops skills in planning and implementation taking into account the
diagnostic assessment of the students, the curriculum based on
competencies, different methods of teaching and learning taking this
collaborative work involving various learning environments, updated
according to the laws, conventions and agreements, and the assessment
of learning related to working life, without forgetting emotional, ethical,
toward personal development, social and welfare. That is to say the
technical teaching or guidance is the one who develops and implements
educational strategies for the student to have access in the form of
elements of learning.
Now the technician-consultant, who is from your professional study and
taking into account their ability of teaching technical, implements the
programming specific technical area, related to an environment of
working life, giving meaning to the learning objects and conducting an
evaluation coherent and relevant to today's changing world of work and
thinking of the quality assurance.


WORK COMMUNITY AND NETWORKING COMPETENCE.
We must propose collaborative activities with other pairs of the area to
local, national and international level for the student, the team, the
Group of colleagues, thus achieving a learning according to the labour
needs, today's teaching strategies according to laws, agreements and
arrangements, implemented with technological tools achieving
permanent collaboration in community.
To achieve the working community and the competition of network
system, we have various tools such as






In any of the skills of the teacher, be in teaching technician or technical
adviser, we must bear in mind and develop planning, doing, checking and
feedback, for this way if it is necessary to take corrections and to improve
of permanent form.
In conclusion, this competition for research and development should be
our platform on and which will achieve a better orientation, advice and
collaborative work.
