Barcelona – summary

Our course was called Classroom management solutions for teachers: New Methodologies, Effective Motivation, Cooperation and Evaluation Strategies. I attended class together with with Livia from Lithuania, Monica from Poland, Rosi from Italy, Nunzia from Italy, Fei from Croatia and our teacher Federica from Spain. Our group was very small that´s why we had a plenty of time of exchange our experience among each other. The afternoons were devoted to visiting sights all over Barcelona. Of course we tasted various meals which are very typical for Spain. Everyday life is sometimes so busy that you many times don´t have time to think or to have high expectations from your plans. On the other hand, it can be positive in the way that you can enjoy your life here and now as carefree children often do. To sum up, we really appreciate the time spending in this nice town, not only as for town beauties, but also the content of our courses. It was really enriching and motivating. Our course was the combination of theory and reality. Several interesting applications were introduced to us which are possible to be used with pupils at schools. I have mentioned that I didn´t have any special expectations, but in my no weaknesses could be noticed. I wish also other teachers to go, to see and to experience.

Barcelona – sumár

Náš kurz mal názov Didaktické riešenia pre učiteľov v triede: efektívna motivácia, spolupráca a stratégie hodnotenia. Ja som navštevovala kurz spolu s Liviou z Litvy, Monikou z Poľska, Rosi a Nunziou, Fei z Chorvátska a  naša lektorka Federika pochádzala zo Španielska. Naša skupina bola celkom malá, tak sme mali dostatok času na výmenu skúseností medzi sebou. Poobedia boli venované navštevovaniu pamiatok v Barcelone. Samozrejme sme vyskúšali rôzne jedlá, ktoré sú typické pre Španielsko. Každodenný život je niekedy tak hektický, že veľakrát nemáme čas nato, aby sme príliš rozmýšľali alebo stihli mať veľké očakávania od svojich plánov. Na druhej strane tento prístup ma výhodu užívať si prítomný okamih tu a teraz, ako to robievajú bezstarostné deti. Aby som zhrnula náš pobyt, naozaj sme si užili čas v tomto krásnom meste a to nielen vďaka úžasným pamiatkam, ale aj obsahu kurzu, ktorý nám mal, čo povedať. Bolo to naozaj obohacujúce a motivujúce. Náš kurz bol spojením teórie a reality. Predstavili nám rôzne aplikácie, ktoré je možno použiť si žiakmi v školách. Spomínala som, že som nešla na daný kurz s nejakými špeciálnymi očakávaniami, ale nespozorovala som veru žiadne nedostatky, ktoré by som v organizácií chcela zlepšovať. Prajem všetkým učiteľom, aby mali šancu ísť, vidieť a zažiť to isté.
