EL FRUTO DE LA COLABORACIÓN ENTRE CENTROS EUROPEOS DE FORMACIÓN DEL PROFESORADO

Transcurrido un año de la estancia en Jihlava de una semana conociendo el sistema educativo de República Checa de la mano de Markéta Metelkova, asesora docente en Vysočina Education nos preguntábamos cómo habían vivido la experiencia como anfitriones, este es su relato:  


We had a possibility to host Victor a teacher from Spain - Asturias. My name is Markéta and I work for Vysočina Education, a teacher training institution in Jihlava, Czech Republic.  Victor came in May 2019 and he was interested in pedagogical methods a technologies used and implemented at schools in Vysočina region.  I accompanied Victor during the week and I had chance to see a couple of things from his perspective. Victor's questions helped me to think about the topic differently. When we came to a school we always learnt how the school was successful, meaning how many competitions their pupils had won - in mathematics, in geography, in English in in... And Victor asked me - why do you compete so much? And I was wondering why are we organizing so many competitions for pupils? Because each school has a great autonomy and likes to present it,  the best pupils  win and what about the seven hundred next ones, how can it help to their development? And also Victor wanted to see pedagogical methods and this was another crucial point, we have  good technical equipment but methods are a bit centralised meaning a teacher knows everything and delivers knowledge. It is always good to meet a professional from abroad and to look at teaching from different perspective, for me personally it was a fruitful week.

Siempre guardaré un buen recuerdo de mi estancia en Jihlava, del acompañamiento y acogida de Markéta  y Roman, director de Vysočina Education y de sus compañeras y compañeros de trabajo y  por supuesto de todas las personas que durante esos días me fueron introduciendo en las características y peculiaridades de su sistema educativo, mucha información y algunos contrastes que nos aportan perspectiva para apreciar la fortalezas y debilidades de nuestro propio sistema, difícilmente se hubiera conseguido sin abrir esta ventana de la mano del SEPIE a través del proyecto Erasmus+.
