Changing Education Paradigms

One of the objectives that the video “Changing Education Paradigms” is try to building awareness regardless of the education as a global issue. However, it has other points in which it wants to focus: economical and cultural problems direct related with the education.

One of the first points is regarding about the influence of the economy in the education, it has some relation to this, due to the fact that we learnt about the necessity to have a degree and, of course, a god job. The good job will give us the chance to earn some quantity of money. All this was in the past, because over the years, our children are losing the interest of get a career in the future. How we can change that?

 It is not easy to change the education, because also the cultural impact has been a topic that it should be take into account. We need to conserve our identity in order to have a society with different opinions about the country and the world.

One of the biggest problems of the society, and of course stuck to the education is a disorder called “Attention Deficit”. This illness is related with the problem in being focused in something and the consequences are the bad performance in classes, and of course, bad marks. Mainly, this problem is global, because it was generated by the society, through the years has been growing up, and the only way to control it are some drugs like the “Ritalin”. With children medicated, the way in which the teaching is developed is hard. For a primary teacher fight with a student with ADHD becomes very difficult due to the fact that needs special attention.  What we can do to change it? It is hard, because is not a change that we can generate easily.

My opinion about the video saw in classes is that we, as a society, need to change some things and others that we should conserve. Also, we know that we are sons and daughters of the globalization, so we should use it, but at the same time try to conserve our identity, without it, it would be trivial the educational process.
