Changes in my study programme

 

Hi Everyone!

I am currently studying my third year of Early Childhood Education Pedagogy at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Chile, located in Santiago, Chile.

The curriculum is excellent, so far, we have seen content such as health and child care, personal and social development from 0 to 6 years, diversity pedagogy, among other important topics to develop our future profession.

What I like the most is that all the learning that we develop is with a look at the focus on children's rights, that is, the most important thing is to respect their rights, decisions, expressions, comments, and interests.

Within the study plan, there are practices every semester, however, during the fifth semester of university, intensive practices begin, where we must have new ideas and implement them in kindergartens, to do this, materials and resources are needed that the university doesn’t pay for, so all these practices are financed by the students, the materials too, in addition to the subway or bus tickets.

The workload is fine but having to spend a lot of money on resources to get the practice done can be a stress on the learning process.

The faculty facilities are good, the use of technology are excellent, because in this faculty there are a lot of computers, and the teachers use the technology in correct form, the teaching methods is excellent too.

In general, I’m receiving a lot of learning and a good education, however I would like the university could support students by providing the possibility of accessing materials or resources without spending so much personal money.
