Educating consists of develop the intellectual, moral and affective faculties of a person in accordance with the culture and norms of coexistence of the society to which they belong. Every student or person in charge of them expects to have knowledge that will serve the life of the apprentice and its environment well.
One that, given the high distraction conditions that occur in the classroom, is not completely sure of having quality in what a university graduate or training center offers related to courses that provide knowledge to be applied. Find solutions from problems with plumbing and electricity in the house to more complex issues that respond to demands from political parties, industries and even governments. All this is the result of education that is now in crisis.
From Spain there is a sincere testimony of an educator, a professor in Granada who says that he “dedicates himself more to deceiving, and not to teaching.” He affirms this because at the end of his classes he can identify more the brands of the devices used by his students who are distracted behind the phones, they really serve to be and / or make the user intelligent, at least that is what this Andalusian university teacher describes.
Because of what has been read in the story exposed on the network that also says that obviously a class is more boring than a video of Tik Tok influencers and any content exposed on any social network. The overwhelming sincerity of Daniel Arias Aranda, professor in the Department of Business Organization at the University of Granada (UGR), has sparked a heated debate on social networks.
scattered attention
The professor has written a letter on the Linkedin social network in which he reflects on the low quality and demand that exists in current education, something that must change if we want to have students, teachers, institutions and families satisfied by the content of their minds of the students that evaluating their behavior in the present at the moment in which they should be studying, learning and answering questions from the educator who thus seeks to confirm if what has been taught has arrived at a safe harbor or has been lost in the “vast empire of the Internet” how catalogs the network that has enough power to grab the attention of students and teachers. Grabbing the attention of students has become a recurring educational tragedy.
The end of education intends above all to indicate the tools and methods sufficient to avoid ending up failing, erring or throwing away any effort that comes from the mind or any physical effort, which also works with the understanding to reach its objectives.
This experience of “educating” that the Spanish teacher has had brings me to Paraguay, which leads me to study and get as close as possible to the state in which our classrooms would be and the urgency that some teachers would have to have the attention of concentrated students more on their screens than in the lesson taught by the teacher. In some cases you can also get distracted by messages or calls that turn out to be more important than your classes.
The sentence of the professor from Granada that he is deceiving his students when he fails in his ability to educate is a pathetic example of a serious problem for which clear and forceful solutions do not seem to emerge. It’s a drama.
