Making connections

I feel I like writing my reflections in our blog. This makes me think more about them.
 

To write this post has taken me more time than other posts because I am using the method that we learnt in the previous “procesos del aprendizaje” lesson. I was used to take a paper and a pen, and then, just write.
It is better to do a scheme firstly.

This is my first time, so I need to practise more.

 

I decided to write a post while I was reading the cognitive development text. There is an activity very simple apparently: Kids have to classify different foods.
When I read this, I remembered our first class. We put in order our pictures about development.

How many differences are there between children and us? I consider these activities are very similar. I don´t know if I am right.

The most important part of these activities is the process that students use to get their classification and the reasons they give.

Both are INDUCTIVE DISCOVERY.
It is necessary to organize the information in order to get a new category. Every category is acceptable because the aim is learning how to organize.

This activity gave to us the required experience to develop in the future our capacity of organisation.
For example, when we made the summary of the classes, we made connections between all the classes. And we organized each one in three parts: What? How? Why?

 

I really don´t know if the connections I am making are in the correct way…
I will read more texts in relation with this topics.
