Class: 6º & 8º Básico

Task Nº1: The school •

The School is located in 325 of Cirilo Amstrong Street, Alegre’s Hill.



The organization of the school is structured:  Directora: Loreto Sobrado González  UTP: Roxana Sobrado González  Asesora pedagógica: Vivian Astudillo Cárcamo  Coordinador extraescolar: Maria Gabriela Olivares Espinoza  Educadora diferencial: Maria José Navarrete Reyes.  Docentes educación básica: 15 profesores  Asistentes: 2 asistentes  Secretarias: 2 secretarias  Auxiliares: 3 auxiliares



The student population is constituted by 206 students.



School rules: The regulations which apply for the students’ coexistence are based in two items: The first is related to CheckIn/Check-Out of the school and the second is completely referred to the students’ in the following aspects: 1. Personal presentation. 2. Attendance and punctuality 3. Academic performance 4. Interpersonal relationships 5. Organization, participation and commitment 6. Relations with the environment

The location of the school does not affect the normal process of education, it is located in a quite neighborhood where the environment can not bad influence the process mentioned before.

The organization of the school gave us an idea of

how many people work in the school, their roles and especially how since the director until the cleaning team are important for the normal develop of the classes and also for the social interactions during the break time.

The most important

rules for a good relationship among the school’s actors are those who are referred to students’ behavior.

Task Nº2: The classroom The atmosphere in the classroom is good, but can be better. The teacher is the greater authority in the classroom, and kids respect him as such. Because of this, the students tend to commit with the things that the teacher tells them to do, and when they have doubts about the topic, they call us (the teaching students) to solve their doubts and problems.

Since I have been teaching them, there

have been some changes in the position of the student’s sitting, this is because (I think) most of students the very talkative therefore they tend to interrupt the class, but is not a serious problem.

The equipment in the classroom is basically the

whiteboard, which is located in the middle front of the room. There is no other equipment in the classroom, and if there is any the teacher does not use it (not even the book provided by the government)

Task Nº3: The teacher Classes have been started on time since I have been there. And once in the room, the first things to do in call the row while some students check if the entire grade has the materials for the class. The next activity is usually checking the homework to continue with new activities given by the teacher without requiring the help of any book.

Once explained the things to do, the teaching students play a more

important role in the develop of the classes, because they usually don’t play attention to the teacher’s instruction and they we are to help them to understand the things to do and who.

As I said before, the only equipment used is the

whiteboard, and one of the teacher’s notebook in order to copy the activities into the whiteboard.

Most of the classes are quite boring until students gets

motivated by the activity of its own.

Task Nº4: The learners

The students are most of the time concerned about their personal issues rather than the school ones. That is why the role of the professor is so important, in this specific case, is quite hard to do it, but finally the results are the expected thanks to the dedication that the teacher and the teaching students are putting into the kids.

Students have to be with someone who is explaining them the topic

that we are dealing with, but once they understand what to do, they are capable of even teacher their classmates. Sometimes a few students are not interested in learning and they expect from the teaching students to make his/her task, but it is unusual, because once they are persuaded to accomplish the goal they work as expected. Most of the time, they enjoy those activities which are related to things they use everyday or with draw and painting a big part of the sheet of paper.

However, the kids do

not enjoy talk in English, in fact they avoid doing it when it is require for the teacher, on the other hand kids really enjoy translating phrases and words, because it is very easy for the to look up for words in a dictionary, if they do not already know the word.

So far I have not seen them work in groups, so sadly I am not sure if they like to work in groups.
