My ideal Job

My ideal Job would be to work for a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) related to "Popular Education". I think the principal quialities and skills I would need for this job are: to consider that knowledge is a social construct; to be a good listener; to understand how people and groups interact; to keep one's balance when a social problems is difficult to treat; and to be interested in how social influence and interpersonal behaviors determine the learning...

I consider that social problems can not examined independently of its actual social and situational contexts; therefore, the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals are determined by other people... I think that I would be good at this Job, because: I like to treat with social and educational problems; I know principal theories of popular education -for exemple, Paulo Freire's Educational Theory and Pichon Rivier's Theory-I like to work in group... and finally, because I think that "Students must construct knowledge from knowledge they already possess. Teachers must learn how the students understand the world so that the teacher understands how the student can learn".

"Do Schools Kill Creativity?"

Hello! !!. Today I'm gonna talk about the video "Do Schools Kill Creativity?”, in which "Sir Ken Robinson" talks us about how the schools and the society are killing the children’s creativity. I totally agree with him!... I also think that the schools kill creativity, because the formal education privilege to teach certain kind of abilities and knowledge - mainly, mathematics and linguistics skill- as more important than other. In this aspect, the education had forgotten to encourage to use the brain or body in a more creative way.

In consequence, the educative system not help to children that they have other abilities!, because it oblige them to have a "standard" intelligence and to choose the "correct" and "profitable" career -comercial enginnering, accountant, laws, etc- ; when these children might be great artists in the future, maybe, dancers, singers, painters, actors and actress, etc.
I think that the most important to be happy is "to find and to carry out the own vocation".

My ideal future...

In five years from now, I would like to be an educational and social psychologist.... I would like to be in love with my profession and with everything that I do...
