Wrapping up the programme


Wrapping up the programme

To wrap  up this programme at Haaga Helia University which started in April, 2012 and continued for 12 weeks I want to say that the programme in general was good. In addition, I can say that we benefited from it and we learned some important educational and vocational information regarding teaching and learning methods and tasks. We also found the arranged visits to some schools ,institutes and places were very beneficial. In fact, I can say that the goals of the programme had been successfully match.

The programme started with orientation that included the following:  welcoming the participants, some practical information, programme connections to TVTC strategy, the pedagogical principles and working methods and introduction to vocational pedagogy. We learnt some important facts and practical information about: social media, teaching and learning, students with special needs, collaborative methods, on the job learning practice, assessment of learning and making shadowing. In addition we learnt some principles of teaching practice and practically we had preformed lessons in teams. Also during the 12 weeks we made some important and useful visits and excursions such as city tour in the 2nd week, excursion to Porvoo in the 4th week, trip to Vierumaki and Jyvaskyla, trip to luukki National Park and visit to a company.

To conclude, I can say that during this programme I have learnt many important things and in my opinion, I think the programme instructors did well. I liked very much the way of teaching as a team, methods of collaborative learning they implemented in their classes, ice breaking and wrapping up the lesson that some instructors used. Finally, I would like to say thank you to instructors, to colleagues and to anyone who facilitated our affairs in this programme
