More than being presented to new methods of learning, visiting different schools, and getting in touch with colleagues from all over Brazil, I had the opportunity to rethink my role as a teacher, now with the student as the core of the learning processes.

I provided me a much needed time to reflect on my perspective as a teacher, what to expect from students and how to lead them to these goals.  The message I brought back to Brazil was that it is important to understand how to put the student at the center of the learning process, with flexible evaluation methods and engaging pedagogical approaches.  ]]> 2017-04-11 10:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/seija_mahlamaki_kultanen/27p5k87w74v1/wish/165848455 Know how to solve problems effectively rodrigo_duran https://padlet.com/seija_mahlamaki_kultanen/27p5k87w74v1/wish/165849355 A skilled student knows not only how to apply knowledge to solve tasks that were presented to him in the classroom, but also be able to critically think and apply effective methods to problem-solving new problems.

In terms of professional opportunities, I’ve had the chance to improve my knowledge and understanding in so many relevant educational issues, to visit Finnish companies, organizations and schools, to strength my networking with partners from different parts of the world and to know brilliant and competent teachers and managers. Regarding the personal experience, to simply breathe the Finnish fresh air, to be immersed in the culture of the country and to walk safely on the streets and eventually talk to people made me look the world in a different way. I really believe I became a better person when I came back to Brazil to my home, family and friends.

Sometimes, to be an A-student is not a formula for guaranteed success and an excellent professional can come from a B- or C-student, eventually because of his/her competence to solve problems, to work collaboratively, to take initiative and to be proactive inside a team work.

This learning environment must be constructed, as long as possible, together with the students, so they can feel theirselves part of the whole process. Even in the 21st Century, learning takes time, and this should be taken into account in the teachers’ day-by-day activities.
