The way our students share their experience in Practicum
Hi all!
I would be glad to share with you the way our students share their experiences during their “practicum” at the working places related to their degree.
The fact is that there are two different ways of sharing their experiences:
1º- “Formal” or “previously established” sharing:
Every university tutor of “practicum” leads around 8 students during their practicum experience. Those students and their tutor are supposed to have common meetings before and at the end of the practical experience, in these established moments, leads by the tutor, they share their experience
2º Informal or non established sharing:
As the result of a common need between the students of sharing their own experiences, we have noticed that spontaneously have appeared different ways of doing it. The commonest one is the peer-to-peer talking at university, but the most interesting one is the exchanges of ideas that have appeared in our moodle plataform.
The thing is that in the subject I teach at de degree of psycho-pedagogy, apart from practicum. we complement our teaching with an e-learning platform. In the forum of the platform, as informal comments, students started to ask their colleges about their practicum, so they began to share interesting points of views about their practical experience.
