Conceptions of my students, knowledge and learning in my subject

We’ve have studied different pedagogical theories, each one provide a view about the teacher and learner posture within learning process as well the methods that must be used to reach effective learning outcomes. I think all theories have contributed in some way to provide the set of tools available to teach, the biggest obstacle is the teacher realize that the most important actor of the learning process is the learner and what should be done is figured out how to construct a cozy and stimulant learning environment that keep learners motivated.

I’ve changed and evolved my conceptions about learning in the last few years. I understand learning as a process where the learner is provoked to reflect, collaborate and make choices, supported by a teacher that act as a facilitator. In my opinion the main factor to achieve the learning goals is motivation, both learners and teacher.

Considering I’ve taught practical subjects of the last half of the course, my students are very related with their careers, determined, appreciate learning by doing and most enjoy working in groups. I think the students construct knowledge through experience, collaboration, challenges and reflections. There are information in everywhere, teachers are agents who should lead theirs students to transform the big amount of information in adequate knowledge.
