REFLECTIONS ABOUT THE BEANERS´ WORKSHOP

THE BEANERS´WORKSHOP

The strategy to organize the working groups was using a Spanish deck (clubs, golds, cups and swords). 

Each person received a card and then had to look his teammates. Strategies to form groups are varied but for each situation should be sought to favor the formation of groups. In this case, as the groups formed not influence much as the next activity consisted in seeing some pictures and discuss them, so they could leave to chance the formation of groups.

People with smartphone received in the mail a message to the file that was to download and install for augmented reality.

Each image that was on the table allows you to view an enlarged image with information about dropout.

Our apprentices have smartphones but they did not use them to learn, they just use them to socialize. Augmented reality and the use of QR codes can be used to generate expectations and encourage them to discover the hidden message behind the image.

The third part of the session was a mix between learning coffee, Bono's the six hats and case studies.

Each person received a bag with materials for activity: a hat of a different color, a paper hat with instructions and a card with the group (1 or 2).

 

Carlos and Katherine dropouts interviewed two apprentices, that through video or audio they told us their stories and why they wanted to defect. On each table was a laptop with one of those cases. Then there was a sheet to write and some snacks to eat while they were doing the activity.

Assuming the role of the hat, each person had to provide ideas for the solution of the case. Finally, each group changed case, select another color hat and discussed the new situation but assuming the role of another hat.

The last activity was to evaluate our role as trainers on dropout and what everyone can do to avoid it

The objective of the activity was to seek other solutions and insights to a situation that also depends on us teachers.It identifies as actors was the phenomenon of desertion and from our role to find solutions that depend on us and not the system.

The activity was generally good but not the performance of the group. It was not very nice to know last minute changes and the disunity of the group.
