My stay at the Child and Recreation Programme

View from the window in the teachers study room. Swedish weather. You can see a bit of the football field, there is a possibility to have a soccer orientation at the school.

The teachers study room where they keep the material for lessons.

The students do not have school books in the vocational subjects. Instead the teachers create their own stuff for lessons and student tasks. For that they use  different books, films and internet.

Here is a movie clip from an internet site for lessons, shown in a class.

Yesterday the students in the subject ”Pedagogical work” were divided into groups to discuss their values according to situations in a pre-school. The task was to come to an agreement even though you in the beginning have different views. They all succeeded in that.

Here I usually see the students sitting in groups looking at their computers or cell phones, talking

and relaxing. The space is also used as a study room för moments of discussion or work in groups.

It is a calm space where you can concentrate if needed. 

The teachers have a box where they collect the students cell phones, if someone use them during lessons. Most often they only mention the box and the students put downs their phones..... Cell phone in Swedish is ”mobil”, box is ”låda”.

The students have a subject called ”Nature guidance”. Here we are out in the woods, preparing hot chocolate after playing a game including map reading. As a scout I really liked this, although my lack of skills in map reading were a bit embarrassing.

Hello! This is the school where I am for my workplaced based learning. It is located in a town outside Gothenburg. I follow the students in the Child and Recreation Program and it has been both a pleasure and a time for learning!
