The Danish school system and comparative education
Our teacher is crazy but I like the way she teaches. She gives us the oportunity to think by ourself, to be creative and independant. And more, we learn about the education in Denmark and about how school is organized.
To illustrate it, we visited a secondary school.
What I have seen:
- teachers don't use books but create their own material
- computers are everywhere. The students can use them when they need.
- Students are allowed to stand up and eat in the classroom, they call the teacher by his/her first name.
- students are noisy but it doesn't disturb the teacher
- many pair works
- no learning programme/tests/examinations
- relaxed atmosphere (lessons/staff room)
- no introduction/finish
After the visit, we went back to school and share our experience: we were all surprised by what we had seen. It's so different from our country. But here, the teachers follow the nature of the children, they think that the child can teach more than an adult.
