Network Services: A Spiral Teaching Curriculum (II)

Important: Translated automatically from Spanish by 🌐💬 Aphra 1.0.0 After defining the objective of this curriculum1 and classifying the evaluation criteria2, it is time to outline in general terms what we are going to dedicate each week to. Ideally, we would have worked on all learning outcomes in parallel, deepening each of them throughout the course. However, as this is a vocational training program3, I thought it might be too overwhelming, so I have opted to group the learning outcomes.

Network Services: A Spiral Teaching Curriculum

Important: Translated automatically from Spanish by 🌐💬 Aphra 1.0.0 Following the trail of the gauntlet thrown in this publication, the time has come to design a new curriculum1 for the Network Services module2. I’m going to start from the evaluation criteria of the different learning outcomes3, first dividing them into conceptual (things that students should know) and procedural (things that students should know how to do). Although I prefer to make the distinction between theoretical (T) and practical (P) directly.

Envisioning... A teacher collaboration platform for action research

Important: Translated automatically from Spanish by 🌐💬 Aphra 1.0.0 Envision a platform where teachers interested in participating in educational research can register, indicating the subjects or modules1 they teach and other relevant information, such as their school’s geographical location. Envision that researchers can filter a search using this data and send a message requesting collaboration in the research they want to conduct, indicating: what hypotheses they wish to put to the test, what they ask of collaborators, and what they offer in return.

Unrealistic Job Offers in the IT Sector

Important: Translated automatically from Spanish by 🌐💬 Aphra 1.0.0 It’s common to see IT-related job offers with an endless list of technologies that the candidate must master, even demanding more years of experience than the technology itself has been around, as absurd as it may seem. That’s why I wasn’t surprised at all by the article: When a job offer asks for more years of experience in a software than have passed since it was created1.

Where is the knowledge in your educational center?

Important: Translated automatically from Spanish by 🌐💬 Aphra 1.0.0 I want you to think, if you need to obtain information regarding the following points, where or to whom would you turn: Instructions for access and usage rules for the educational center’s1 Wifi connection. How to perform a specific procedure on the educational management platform2 provided by the administration (enter grades, create a certain type of report, manage training…). Find out which teacher taught a particular subject or module in a specific course.

How to Evaluate Using Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria Without Going Crazy

Important: Translated automatically from Spanish by 🌐💬 Aphra 1.0.0 When I started working as a teacher in Ciclos Formativos1, I knew I would have to evaluate using Learning Outcomes (LO from now on) and Assessment Criteria (AC from now on). Another thing entirely was whether I had a clear understanding of what that meant. So the first thing I did was to search for the content of the professional modules I had to teach, sequenced them into units, and decided which LO I would work on in each of them.
