Learn a lesson in Finland


How do I learn a lesson in Finland? Reflexion on observation class

Introduction






Methodology

In this work I will tell about mine impressions of education system in Finland trough observation a variety of classes and learning environments . Most of then happened at TAMK university of applied science of Tampere. One was at UTA, University of Tampere. One at Tampere vocational school of Tredu, Some of them are just observation of different projects as proacademy, BioHub, my-city and Cafe in Tredu.  It was observed 15 class. The research was guided by a questioner about what is important to observe in class.  I pretended to answered questions about theories of learning involves in finish class, what is the infrastructure used in class and virtually, behavior of a teacher, if he/she detains the knowledge, helps student to find, or act more as a coach guide them to work together. Notice students behavior if they trust, respect teacher, participate, make works alone and together, if they help each other, if they enjoy the class, if they are concern about what is important to learn. Methodology used by the answer of what kind of tools and methodologies teacher are using in class, as pre-study, warm up, introduction, explanation, management, form of evaluation, synthesis, learning by doing, PBL,



Result

The phisician teacher in engineering courses do a work together whit math, language teacher to students learnig by doing in a social construtive model. First class they are introduce to the work, after they are joined in groups and have to make the measurements, make a sheet and plot a graphics to show for all classmates. next day they went to other laboratory to make more measurements. The teacher first explain how to do the work and let the students do it, answer some doubts and about the  midle of the class he explain what they have to do next and  where they have take care. Language teacher....xx. Math teacher explain by using how to use computer stuff. They used excel and datas from friction experiment, they tabulated dates, made regretion analyses and have the standard deviation, to know how much they were wrong in theyr measurement and so used this knew informations to continuing building their report. they have a vrtual space with movies about the lessons, they have days to just study together and they also have regular assessement.
The language teacher in classes of English for foreign in Energy and Enviromental Engineering has also a system to make part of the class in a virtual enviromental, she use Tabula of TAMK system. She started the semester asking what is the aim of each student, what they want to improve in their English Skill. One of activities make the students meet a enterprise in their fields.
Two of the classes  observed have just the lecture of the teacher on the content in a tradicional way. One use datashow and let place to student speack and make question other just explain in a retroprojetor.

social enterprises in tampere 


Cooperative entrepreneurship

A cooperative is a company engaging in business operations, which is owned by members of the cooperative. Some cooperatives are established for the purpose of employing their members. Setting up a cooperative does not normally require a large amount of capital, as the participation share defined by the founders is enough.
The Tampere Region Cooperative Centre is an information point for cooperative entrepreneurs. It provides up-to-date information, expert guidance and practically-oriented training related to cooperative entrepreneurship and business operations.
The Pirkanmaan Yrittäjät ry association is a joint organisation and lobbyist for entrepreneurs in the region. Its website contains information about business operations and entrepreneurship in Pirkanmaa.

Class 14: Tampere Vocational College Tredu in Kuru

We went to Kuru and we have to participate as tourists in a guide excursion to Kuru Forest.
Kuru vocational school has between 200 to 300 students. Kuru city has almost 3000 inhabitants. First students showed all school for us, the places to have class out side, in a cottage, around a bonfire, machines, even the machines used to prepared woods to be used to build cottages, one curse that take 2 weeks.

They have more them 10 vans to take the students for practical activities. They went to Russia for 9 days they think it is awesome. Also school has a building for classes and cafeteria, and has dormitory for students stay. We went in one class room full of stuffed animals.
The teacher send the students to guide us, they heve to separate wood for the bonfire. Food for us, but we also help to carry the food. The teacher also ask who could drive the cars. Who could takes the logs. And who could be with him taking others things. Once in forest we start to walk guided by one of them and when in the middle of forest the guide ask us to stay in silent to listen the forest. After a while we continued to walk until a place that they are organizing to lunch. the students starting to present themselves and the reason why they are here, amazing a lot of them came form other countries. They ask ours individual question as what they study, how much time, what they prefer and what is the minimum amount of education one have to apply in, and all the answers fit we I found after on internet. And what I like most to listen is thy need to be a business plan and contact with real work word. After we went to a spot were teacher show pictures of a migration bird that goes to brazil also it is called "maçarico bastardo" scientific name Tringa glareola. He showed us also a moss, and tell thinks about it, one of the student has already answered my question about this moss, because is spread for everywhere, her said the same as teacher it was really interesting.
