Reflection's day with Leila Nisula and Ritta Metsanen 23.05.2014

Today has finished "Multicultural and International week" with Leila Nisula and Ritta Metsanen. We discussed about how we can use this knowledge in our own experience. Many of us were agree that all of methods we can use after returning in kazakhstan. For me was interesting information about "Cultural shock" because my students in future going to continue their study abroad and probably this information will be useful for them. In addition, we have heard interesting information about International skills, when we were in CIMO (Centre for International Mobility) in Helsinki 22.05.2014. I recognised many competencies which needed our teachers. This information will be helpful for administration of my school.

Lessons with Leila Nisula and Ritta Metsanen (21.05.2014)

Today we have discussed the theme about Cultural shock. I think this topic was interesting for everybody because we formerly felt and overcame Cultural shock, when arrived in Hameenlinna. I was liked group work, when we tried to elaborate guidance for our students, who in future going to study abroad. It was really-Learning by doing!

The last day in Kauriala Upper Secondary school (15.05.2014)

Today was the last day in Kauriala Upper Secondary school. It was a little sad, feeling that in the future  I will never see Finnish students and Finnish school. I asked students and Soile Varis (history teacher), take a photo with me, they gladly agreed. Soile conducted a lesson where used tablets on a history lesson of the European Union. As before, the Grade 12 C, have shown their high level of organization and motivation to the lesson. After the lesson, when I thanked them in Finnish (kiitos), Juhani Jaaskelainen (student,) told me: "I'm expressed that you said this word in Finnish". Well, that's the end of my observation of lessons and learning process at the Kauriala Upper Secondary school. Thank Soile, thanks to students, when I'll return to Kazakhstan I will remember for a long time motivated to learn, calm, self-oriented and self-confident Finnish students. Good luck to you!!!

My thoughts about Finnish experience.

Since 5th of may till 9th of May 2014 we have considered one of the topic, which reluctant discussed in Kazakhstan, because has many problems with implementing into education system of Kazakhstan. This topic called inclusive education or equal access to qualitative education of special needs students. This reason was one of the main interest to this topic for us. We were surprised, when have seen how organized inclusive education for special needs students in Kiipula (Hameenlinna, Finland). Finnish education else time proved the principle of equality. During the week we have learnt different kind of approaches and methods to teach special needs students. We grateful for this to Simo Uusinoka and Irmeli Lignell.
   At the begining of this week we have started to learn the topic about talented students. I think the both topic connected with each other. If we approximately know about approaches to  teaching special needs students, today we could compare two types of teaching. I'm interested the question: what kind of methods we can use to define talented student? Many of us interested by this theme because we work in our country with gifted students.
We discussed important problems:
-How well the different tests, assessment, evaluation describe the talented student's abilities?
-From the talented students point od view-is integration in a normal class during their studies-a benefit or a disadvantage?
-At what age you recognize the talented student? Is there any special age for that?
-Vocational or general education- Which is the best solution to the student? What kind of options these two educational choices offer to the talented student?
We'll expected that during on this week we can answer on this questions
