The reality of teaching training courses
The offer of courses for teachers has become common, but the effectiveness of these workshops is questionable. In a recent example in Gavà, an instructor with experience in journalism, but without pedagogical knowledge, he was responsible for training teachers in conflict management. This has led many to ask if these courses really address the real needs of teachers and students.
Happiness as an educational goal
During the session, the instructor emphasized the importance of ‘giving happiness’ to students, without providing clear definitions or a solid conceptual framework. This proposal led to a reaction between the teachers, who defended the need for a deeper approach to the value of effort and reward, as they defended thinkers such as Plato and Gandhi.
The reaction of the teachers
Many teachers decided not to return to the sessions, preferring to spend time preparing materials that could really benefit their students. This decision emphasizes the frustration existing in a system that often fails to meet educational needs.
Alternatives to traditional teaching
Experts have suggested the introduction of emotional intelligence subjects to ESO to address the behavior of problem students. However, the most effective approach seems to be the creation of a family environment that fosters emotional well -being. The need to build confidence with adolescents is essential, and this cannot be achieved with superficial measures.
Successful models and innovative solutions
Minor Judge Emilio Calatayud has proposed alternative measures that have been shown to be effective, such as the sentence to work in community services for young people with difficult behaviors. This approach seeks to make minors understand the importance of social responsibility and their relationship with the community.
The future of secondary education
In the Balearic Islands, the reality of school failure between adolescents from 14 to 16 years has led to the search for labor and learning solutions. Programs like Piste and Isla in Ibiza exemplify how educational alternatives can be offered that adapt to the needs of young people. The proposal of cross -professional professional itineraries, such as the German model, could be a viable path to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn and grow.
A necessary challenge
The key lies in understanding that education cannot be mandatory for those who refuse to participate. It is necessary to change the paradigm that emphasizes the reintegration and the training options from young ages. This can make a difference between a promising future or a continuity of disconnection and school failure.
