Visit Ahvenisto secondary school

Visita ao colégio Ahvenisto

Hoje pela manhã, juntamente com meus colegas de estudo do grupo VET e guiados pela servidora Marja, tive a oportunidade de conhecer a escola Ahvenisto, esta  ministra aulas correspondente aos três últimos anos do ensino fundamental do Brasil, correspondente à sétima, oitava e nono ano.

Possui em torno de 400 alunos distribuídas em grupos de alunos (10 a 20 alunos por classes) e 37 docentes. Quanto aos métodos de ensino, alguns professores estão começando a trabalhar com PBL (integrando 2 a 3 disciplinas) mas essa mudança pedagógica esta bem no início, grande parte ainda ministra aulas convencionais. As atividades diárias iniciam as 8:30 e encerram as 14:30. Cada disciplina tem duração de 75 minutos. Os estudantes recebem almoço durante o intervalo das aulas.

Os alunos, pelo menos alguns que acompanharam a visita, falam inglês  e participam das atividades, inclusive firam eles que nos apresentaram as instalações da escola. Os ambientes de aula são amplos, claros e confortáveis, consta também de laboratórios específicos para culinária, vestuário, marcenaria, música, artes, entre outros.

A figura abaixo ilustra alunos na classe de economia culinária durante uma aula. Os estudantes são todos bem jovens e demonstraram um comportamento exemplar. A exemplo, os alunos que apresentaram a escola para meu grupo, eram extremamente educados e bem orientados quanto a essa atividade da escola, inclusive no momento do almoço nos orientou a guardar as bolsas e passar no banheiro para lavar as mãos, seguindo os mesmos protocolos adotados por eles. Na entrada das salas havia lugar para guardar os casacos e deixar os sapatos, todos os alunos entram na sala somente sem calçados.

O ambiente para os professores também consta de instalaçoes amplas e agradáveis, com cozinha, sala, mesa de reunião, sala de trabalhos individuais e até poltrona com massagem.

Pelo que pude perceber, após visitar algumas instituições de ensino aqui na Finlandia, o ambiente de trabalho é sempre agradável para que alunos e professores sintam-se bem ao trabalhar. Os alunos são muito educados, participativos e comunicativos, a comunicação em ingles flui naturalmente.

Os professores, independente das instituições visitadas sempre foram muito atenciosos com o grupo e empenhados em esclarecer todos os questionamentos.

Visit the college Ahvenisto

This morning, along with my colleagues study the VET group and guided by staff Marja, I had the opportunity to meet Ahvenisto school, this college minister classes corresponding to the last tree years of elementary education in Brazil, corresponding to the seventh, eighth and ninth year .

It has about 400 students distributed in groups of students (10 to 20 students per class) and 37 teachers. As for teaching methods, some teachers are beginning to work with PBL (2-3 integrating disciplines) but this pedagogical change this early on, largely still minister conventional classes. Daily activities begin at 8:30 and close at 14:30. Each course lasts 75 minutes. Students receive lunch during the break classes.

Students, at least some that accompanied the visit, speak English and participate in activities, including hurt that they had in school facilities. The class rooms are spacious, bright and comfortable, it is also part of laboratories for specific culinary, clothing, woodworking, music, arts, among others.

The figure below illustrates students in cooking economy class during a lesson. The students are all very young and demonstrated exemplary behavior. For instance, students who presented the school to my group were extremely polite and well informed about this school activity, including at the lunch guided us to keep the bags and go into the bathroom to wash their hands following the same protocols adopted by them. At the entrance of the rooms was no place to store coats and leave the shoes, all students enter the room only without shoes.

The environment for teachers is also part of large and pleasant facilities, with kitchen, living room, conference table, individual work room and even a chair with massage.

From what I gather, after visiting some educational institutions here in Finland, the working environment is always enjoyable for students and teachers to feel well while working. Students are very educated, participatory and communicative, communication flows naturally in English.

Teachers, regardless of the institutions visited were always very attentive to the group and committed to clarify all the questions.

This photo showing the students of course engineer electrical

The engineer knows how to utilize information and electrical technology in developing automation technology in new applications, for exemplo, vehicles, shops, homes, industry, traffic control and street lighting. Instruction in electrical and automation engineering focuses on wide-ranging studies in electrical engineering, the automation of production machinery and devices, and the maintenance of production facilities. The possibilities offered by new technology are utilized in the instruction, in the practical studies that include plenty of personal, first-hand activity.

An electrical and automation engineer typically works in a high-tech company in tasks involving planning and expertise, and later, as experience mounts, in various supervisory tasks (http://www.hamk.fi/english/applicants/automation-engineering/Sivut/default.aspx)

Laboratories of vocational electricity course with high technology and good and pratical installations. 

The teacher Petri Kautto explained about the International Business course of Vocational College. The  students the first year, Anniina and Lliana, presented their project.

Visit campuses Leppa

Today a have a  visit in the Leppa Hamk campuses

Lepaa is the oldest and most prestigious institute where you can study horticulture in Finland.

Horticultural training began back in 1910 when Lepaa manor was converted into a school. Lepaa is located by Lake Vanajavesi, 17 km from Hämeenlinna and 120 km from Helsinki.

Lepaa is surrounded by a large manor park and has display gardens for a wide variety of ornamental and crop plants. Both garden and arable plants are grown on the Institute’s fields of 50 hectares. The total area of Lepaa is 280 hectares; most of it is forest. Greenhouses produce comestibles and ornamental crops. Lepaa’s facilities consist of a modern main building and several adjacent buildings. Some of the buildings date from 1910 when the institute was established. The new main building was completed in 1993. In winter, students may practise landscape constructions in a modern hall with all needed materials.

Most services and leisure time activities are found either in Hämeenlinna or closer in Parola (7 km from Lepaa) (http://www.hamk.fi/english/about-hamk/locations-and-maps/lepaa-campus/Sivut/default.aspx).

It's a good opportunit for meeting new grups of teacher and agricultural campuses.

The teacher work with a project and assessment the process.

Vocational students have a experence and practical activities during development the project. The work in group and colaborative one with other. Learn more with the pratical project.

Research presentation

During this week i had my research presentation:
Assessment of genetically modified soybean crops in the state of RS.

This is a important moment to discuss and change experience with the colleagues. In this class all students (teachers) had your presentation to the grup and the teachers of program teachers for future Finland.

Guidance

Today have a class about guidance

Tutoring, mentoring, advising, giving attention, showing interest, faciliting, empowering...
Who does it?
Everybody? Embedded in learning community.

Career counseling and career guidance are similar in nature to other types of counseling, e.g. marriage or psychological counseling. What unites all types of professional counseling is the role of practitioners, who combine giving advice on their topic of expertise with counseling techniques that support clients in making complex decisions and facing difficult situations. The focus of career counseling is generally on issues such as career exploration, career change, personal career development  and other career related issues.
