Comparative Education
When I have heard this name of the subject I cant image what it will be. And then we realised it, and we had to fantastic lessons where we compared the different school systems in Europe in different ways.

First from the different dimensions of education:

1. artefacts
2. values
3. basic assumptions
  • Artefacts: everything you can observe

    Example: equipment.


  • Values:

    Examples: the differences between countries which differences are speaking about values:


  • lunch boxes: free choice - parents, homes
  • canteen: healthy + social - community
  • break during the daytime: way of securing mother do not work in full-time job, only in part-time

  • Basic assumptions: indicator
We spoke a lot about values in different communities...

After this, on the second lesson we compared our educational system, it was really interesting... It seems sometimes that all the rules in the world has no sense at all, but they are keeping the community working... aren't they?

The third week: the week of a lot of work
Actually, on our third week we was very busy.

We started the week with M1, presenting our own school systems in groups. I presented the alternative ways of Hungarian education, and I was really happy when I heard that the 'normal' education system is very similar in the post - communist countries. (It was kind of, 'okay, than we are not that bad, as I thought' - feeling.) We had quite a lot of work with the presentations, but finally we succeed with them, and that was a very good experience because I have never thought before that I could do this kind of work in English! I was very proud of myself, really.



Presentations. The pictures was made by Kriszti.

The second presentation of the week was about our own culture, also in groups with Jette ( I have even translated Hungarian poems to English for this...). We was really afraid about that topic, because about your own country you have so many background informations and you cant really choose - this was the biggest problem of our presentation, I guess, because it became too long. At least, we brought something to eat for the others so they did not die in hunger - of course, it is just a joke. But it was quite long, I think, but nice.

In this week we also had music lesson, ETC, History, Danish, and Citizenship also, but I wanna write about them when we finished all of the lessons.

Anyway, it was a too busy week for me, and in the last days I was ill, so I have to have a rest now...

Module 1 from the first week
As I promised to you in this post I am gonna write more/show more pictures about the first week. This post will be about the Module 1, which contained in the first week: The Danish School system and comparative, Cultural dimension, and Danish.

About the first lesson. It was quite interesting, and I realized that my high school was really like the Danish system, so maybe I was the one who did not get new information, but get some new questions about my own past. And maybe I am the only one at the moment who really can feel, and can see, and can think about a similar system faults. About the education system this is one of my favourite topics: the alternative methods in Hungary. The final conclusion of this again: if you are basing in system in partnership you have to find those people (teachers) who can be really partners, and not just idealist wannabe-partners. Of course I know, that in Hungary it is really hard, mostly because of the communism. As Talmud says: If you are teaching your son, you are teaching your grandchildren too.
At least, we are trying to do something, and trying to evolve.

The cultural dimenson lesson was quite fun. We had a task to do something with hands about the stereotypes of Denmark. I let the pictures to speak.

Középre igazítás

And I will return to the Danish topic later - when I can pronunce at least one word correctly in Danish - damn, it is hard!
