Information About Education

When talking about education people often confuse it with schooling.
Many think of
places like schools or colleges when seeing or hearing the word. They might also look to
particular jobs like teacher or tutor. The problem with this is that while looking to help
people learn, the way a lot of schools and teachers operate is not necessarily something
we can properly call education. They have chosen or fallen or been pushed into
‘schooling’ – trying to drill learning into people according to some plan often drawn up
by others. Paulo Freire (1973) famously called this banking – making deposits of
knowledge. Such ‘schooling’ quickly descends into treating learners like objects, things
to be acted upon rather than people to be related to.
What is Education?
Education, is a process of inviting truth and possibility, of encouraging and giving

time to discovery. It is, as John Dewey, put it, a social process – ‘a process of living and
not a preparation for future living’.
Learning is both a process and an outcome.
The cultivation of learning is a cognitive and emotional and social activity.
To facilitate learning we must have some understanding of the subject matter being
explored.
Theories of education
Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through
four different stages of mental development. His theory focuses not only on
understanding how children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of
intelligence. Piaget's stages are:
Sensorimotor stage: birth to 2 years

Preoperational stage: ages 2 to 7
Concrete operational stage: ages 7 to 11
Formal operational stage: ages 12 and up
Piaget believed that children take an active role in the learning process, acting much
like little scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the
world.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT THEORY (VYGOTSKY)
Social Development Theory argues that social interaction precedes development;

consciousness and cognition are the end product of socialization and social behavior.
HE ZONE OF PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT (ZPD)
The ZPD is the distance between a student’s ability to perform a task under adult
guidance and/or with peer collaboration and the student’s ability solving the problem
independently.
Vygotsky focused on the connections between people and the sociocultural context in
which they act and interact in shared experiences.
Jerome Bruner's Theory of Development: Discovery Learning & Representation
Jerome Bruner and Education

Cognitive psychologist Jerome Bruner felt the goal of education should be intellectual
development.
Bruner held the following beliefs regarding learning and education:
He believed curriculum should foster the development of problem-solving skills.

He believed that subject matter should be represented in terms of the child's way of
viewing the world.
Three Stages of Representation
Enactive, which is the representation of knowledge through actions.

Iconic, which is the visual summarization of images.
Symbolic representation, which is the use of words.
Ausubel’s Learning Theory
Ausube believes that learning of new knowledge relies on what is already known.
That is, construction of knowledge begins with our observation and recognition of events
and objects through concepts we already have.
Education in Peru
Education is a fundamental right, and a vital aspect of guaranteeing access to a higher

quality of life.
Lack of Comprehension
The most serious educational problem affecting children in Peru is the low level of
reading comprehension and mathematical reasoning. These are two basic skills of the
learning process, without which Peruvian children will face limits to their comprehensive
development and opportunities of reaching adulthood as productive members of society.
Poor Academic Performance
Peru also exhibits a considerable percentage of children who attend primary school, but
in a grade lower than that corresponding to their age.
Which is the diferences between rural Educación and Education in the city
The students of rural schools are, in general, few, for which students of different ages and
level of instruction often meet in the same classroom and with the same teacher. They are
children who generally help their families in agricultural tasks, and have few resources
and family help, as many parents have not received formal education.
On the other hand, education in the city, where the person can and has the necessary
means to be able to exercise, expand and specialize in any branch that wishes to study,
since the techniques that the educational establishments deliver are able to achieve that
the Individual reach your goal.
The objectives of Peruvian education are:
a) Train people capable of achieving their ethical, intellectual, artistic,

cultural, emotional, physical, spiritual and religious.
b) Contribute to the formation of a democratic, solidary, just and inclusive society.
Factors of education:
Teachers: They are the guides of learning.
Government: Provides money to improve schools, programs, etc.
Family: Provide emotional support.
Studients:
Differents learning style
Visual: You learn well when aided by images.

Auditory: You learn well when aided by music and sound.
Reading/Writing: You learn well by reading or writing.
Kinesthetic: You learn well when you can move your body.
What is Teaching-Learning Process?
Combined processes where an educator assesses learning needs, establishes specific

learning objectives, develops teaching and learning strategies, implements plan of work
and evaluates the outcomes of the instruction.
What should the government do to improve education?
Reassess the work of the teacher.
Grant more inversion in education.
Prioritize an Educational Reform, summoning all educational agents that include teacher
training and fair compensation.
Opinion
The great tension experienced in recent months, due to the constant teacher problems,
translated into strikes; We have been able to observe the crisis that exists in our country
and not only because of the teacher's salary problem, since the educational problem is not
only pedagogical but also more integral, which covers the economic and social issue. The
government has the challenge of improving education.
