This week needs an analysis!!!

Hello again! I’m Clara and this week I have been the analyst of my group! As an analyst, you have to evaluate and appraise how the work of the group was as well as tell a little about what we have learnt and with what areas this content can be related to.

First of all, I have to say that the best part of the activity was learning about LOMCE and LOE and their differences (although the previous week we had to read them and we also learnt about them doing two conceptual maps, I think that this week we have increased our knowledge about these two laws as we have read it more in detail and we have gone deeper). And why is this the best part? Educational laws are going to be a part of our job and we can’t lay them aside, so it is very interesting that we start to have contact with them since we can. Furthermore, it is very curious to know how the educational laws change depending on the government that has been chosen.  However, we have had some difficulties; when you read so much information (as these two laws have), you don’t know what information you should chose in order to do the questions, therefore, you normally spend too much time on this, so this has turned into the worse part of the activity.

In my opinion, on the one hand, the best moment of the week has been with no doubt the moment when we have finished the work and all was solved. In that moment, we see the work that we have done and how it remained; you feel very satisfied with yourself as well as relieved due to the fact that the task is already ended.  On the other hand, the worse part of the week has been the fact of collecting all the questions inasmuch there are always some problems and someone who hand them over in the last minute.

According to what have we learnt, I have to say that we have learnt not only many aspects and differences about LOE and LOMCE, but also to see the relevant information of the two laws and to set out practical questions with that information, that then will be used in a game; this will be very useful in our future, since you, as a teacher, with the information that you have in a topic, can create a game so as to the children spend a good time while they are learning.

In addition, as I see it, we ought to conserve as a group the spirit of help that we have, I mean, when any member of the group has a doubt or she needs help, there is always someone that is ready to give a helping hand and it is nice to see this comradeship in our group. On the contrary, one thing that has to be improved is the organization of the group and the compliance of the deadlines owing to the fact that there are almost always problems and members of the group that hand over what they have to do in the last minute.

The content of this task is much related with our degree due to the fact that LOE and LOMCE are educational laws and we, as future teachers, should be interested in knowing the changes that are being produced and will be produced in this field. Moreover, this activity can be developed by us when we are teachers since, as I mentioned before, with interactive games children learn in a funny way.

Finally, as far as I am concerned, in this task exits a clear social connection. This activity is evidently connected with the educational area inasmuch it is about two different educational laws that change the organization of the education. What is more, it is related with politics, since each law has been made by different political parties given that every time that a political party rises to power, it changes the educational law of the previous one (in Spain the education is non-political). Also, this could be associated with religion as there is one measurement in LOMCE that has been very talked about and criticized: this subject, religion, count in order to do the final average of the school year.

In light of the above, I think that this role is a very important because it helps to see what problems you have had as well as to help to solve them. As we know, analysis is applied in many areas; from politicians that use the analysis to study the results of the elections to a teacher that ask to his or her students a morphological and syntactic analysis of a sentence (that’s why there are many types of analysis), so analysis is very vital in our lives.

See you soon!!
