Session 4: Interesting elements of St. Augustine, Froebel and Dewey

1)   What are the most interesting elements of each character in today’s presentations?

a)    San Agustín

Teach how to construct knowledge through questions and answers, on the path to discovering one’s own truth.

b)    Froebel

The establishment of the principles of intuition and ludic activities that would lead to later application

c)    Dewey

Founding the theories and philosophy in which the teacher becomes a partner in the learning process, guiding students to discover in an independent manner the importance within the subject area the student is involved in.

2)   What do you think about co-evaluations?

Co-evaluations in many ways can be beneficial and can harm in many ways the student. Sometimes in assessment it marks the end of a process and the beginning of a new one and only the teacher is capable of doing so. However, co-evaluation serves a great function if constructed well because if not, it will influence in personal likes and dislikes. In my case, I have to say I think it’s a good tool to involve the student in their process of learning and acquiring skills. That way, there may be better comprehension and the will to learn with having the student partake in these steps that only the teacher may be capable of doing.
