History of education

Today, we haven seen a video about students in South Korea and Finland. And now, we have to answer the following question; South Korea and Finland: Two nations that have completely opposite approaches whose students consistently rank on top of the world.

Today, we have being working on the New and the Traditional history. I have worked with my class mate Nacho and we have putted in common the differences that we remove from the text last monday.

Today, we have done a team work. The teacher, has given us some papers about Overture: the New History, its Past and Future  and in pairs, we have looked at the differences between the new history, and the traditional one. Now I'm going to point some of these differences: Traditional history:   - F ocuses on political aspects of history -Tells the facts - F ocuses on the people who participated in the events - Uses only written documents   - It is intended to verify the events.   - The historian presents the events without comment  New history: - Analyzes the events    - Takes into account how people lived the events     - Everything can be taken as a source of information : videos, photos and so on   - Raises a problem and go beyond    - The narrator presents what happened

In the today class we have looked for information fro our work of Greece. We have gone to the library and we have been looking on books for our introduction.
