An expert that I admire



An expert I really admire is Friedrich August Fröbel   he was born 21 April 1782 – 21 June 1852, he was a German pedagogue, a student of Pestalozzi who laid the foundation for modern education based on the recognition that children have unique needs and capabilities.

Friecrich is famous for  devised circles, spheres, and other toy that were designed to stimulate learning through play activities accompanied by songs and music. Modern educational techniques in kindergarten and preschool are much indebted to him.
He like me because for Fröbel The teacher’s role was not to drill or indoctrinate the children but rather to encourage their self-expression through play, both individually and in group activities.

I like him because he opened an infant school in Blankenburg, Prussia, that he originally called the Child Nurture and Activity Institute, and which by happy inspiration he later renamed the Kindergarten, or “garden of children. Also, His experiments at the Kindergarten attracted widespread interest, and other kindergartens were started

He most important contribution is  a contribution to educational theory was his belief in “self-activity” and play as essential factors in child education.

Future job

I am studying nursery teacher at the University of Chile at the faculty of social sciences and I am not thinking of taking another one, because I like my career and when I start working will support and guide the children, they need to develop their thinking skills, socialize and autonomy. In general, this is the role of nursery teacher. I would like to have a job in a big country with vegetables, animals and a variety of plants where the children feel close the nature. My ideal place for work is Castro-chiloé. The children will enjoy the nature in this country, they will explore differents things and places. I would like to travel a lot in my job, for example, to hawaii, Sídney and China for see up close your culture, traditions and how is the education, kindergartens no day-nursary. I wouldn’t like work in an office because I wouldn’t can do everything I want with the children. I think that the future job of each person is very important because is forever and if you want be h

Changes to my study program

What I would modify in my career is would be that in some essential subjects of the childhood education the contents are deepened more.For example: social constructions of childhood, because they only tell us a little about the theorists or about different subjects, they never explained each content in detail, I would also like the teachers teach how apply each thing in the practice. "Health and child care" I consider it a very important subject and as I pointed out previously, they explained the contents to us, but they did not carry out practice activities and in my opinion, this should be the main thing of the subject, because when we are in a kindergarten we probably don't know what to do or how to help the child if he has an accident. For this reason I also believe that the subject of "Child Health and Care" should be added at least once a year. In the curricula I would like to add some subjects where they teach us the mute deaf "language", the

MOVIES

Nothing compares to watching a good film. I like drama and romantic movies.  The last film that I saw was Titanic, is my favourite movie.  Titanic is about a British  passenger liner  (Titanic) that  sank in the North Atlantic Ocean  in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912, after it collided with an  iceberg  during its  maiden voyage  from  Southampton  to  New York City . There were an  estimated 2,224 passengers and crew  aboard the ship, and more than 1,500 died, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. The  RMS  Titanic was the  largest ship afloat  at the time it entered service and was the second of three  Olympic -class ocean liners  operated by the  White Star Line . The Titanic was built by the  Harland and Wolff  shipyard in  Belfast .   Thomas Andrews , her architect, died in the disaster. the film I would like to see again  is "Split", because it´s funny and very interesting.
