Systematization of pedagogical experiences

Abstract

In this report, ‘Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences’ I describe the first teaching practice I did at the end of my university career. I carried out all my internships in the same private institution in Salinas, province Santa-Elena, Ecuador. First, I did teacher observations, then I was a teachers’ assistant, and finally, I performed as the main teacher. This systematization work consists of three parts. First, I did a thorough review of scientific literature to have a scientific base to compare with my teaching experiences. In the second part, I describe the settings and the participants involved, together with the procedures of gathering and analyzing data. In the last chapter, the results and discussion, I describe my teaching experience; and then reflect on it by analyzing the data obtained during all my internships. After this reflection, I could come to important conclusions and recommendations. The most important conclusion is that teachers in many occasions use too much mother tongue in English classes, which resulted in poorer learning outcomes compared with the classes where only English was spoken, and not achieving the lesson goals.
