Transcription of interviews
Luisa: Hello good evening Karol, well the next interview is regarding a
activity I have from university about didactics.
Karol: Ok
Luisa: So it consists of interviewing a teacher from any area, and then having them explain to us.
How has the experience been over the years in this field? So I am going to ask you
some specific questions regarding it and well, I'm doing fine
responding according to your judgment.
So, what is education for you?
Karol: For me, education is the process by which information is transmitted,
genetic information, cultural regarding values information
Scientific, because it is general academic. It is a process of transmitting information, that is the
education for me.
Luisa: And what characteristics do you think a professional should have?
education or a teacher?
Karol: For me, the education professional should be characterized as a person
self-criticism, for being a person who never stops learning. Because the teacher is the
a person who never stops learning, because whoever dares to teach assumes that
that their academic process never ends. They must be sensitive, compassionate, a person
empathetic, those are the characteristics that a good teacher must have; so be it
evidently the academic training.
Luisa; What do you know or understand about didactics?
Karol: Well, didactics in summary could be described as that accumulation of
strategies that are used during classes, during the formative processes that lead to
that these processes are successful, if we delve a little into the strategies
didactics could be said to be the part of that branch of pedagogy in which one
definitely print your DNA, your tastes, for those who like music, they add music to
his classes, to reading and thus he teaches mathematics using reading as a tool
didactics for your classes. So it is already like a pedagogical strategy.
Luisa: Could we say that it applies according to personality or judgment of
person?
Karol: yes, we could define it that way, as the technique that one uses when it comes to
to teach
Luisa: as a teacher, how do you apply it?
Karol: Well, in that part, I am a young person. I am 24 years old, I have been more or
Less than 6 years of teaching. So maybe my age and the age of my students are equal.
because I almost always taught at the higher level, universities. Well, no, it's not very different,
There is a big or considerable generational gap. So I think that, that!
familiar with technologies and social networks. And suddenly living in a very context
next to where my students live, it is a context more than geographical, it is a context
cultural. In which we see students allowed to use social media,
they use... to have, for example: I don't know, TIK TOK is one of the things that I am using.
right now in class with my students.
Luisa: Has it worked for you with the application one?
a lot,
Luisa: Do you create a lot of content like this? Is it easier to conduct a class?
Karol: We are actually working, one of the performance tasks with the networks

Luisa: How should a teaching material be created or what guidelines should be followed more or less?
of having?
Karol: Well, what I do when creating educational material is to look at whom
taught and where I taught him, right? It's not the same teaching material for a student in
rural area Nariño to rural area Candelaria. Yes? Context: where he taught and whom he taught.
It is not the same material for a day as it is for 7-year-old students in second grade.
students aged 16, 15 years old in the eleventh grade. Considering those two factors as
the basis for the design and creation of that educational material is already something to consider,
What are the tastes?
What attracts my student?
What I have been able to identify from what I hear them talking about during the break, what they
He heard speaking when he entered the class and they still haven't gone silent when
I arrived and how can I take advantage of that certain closeness that I might have with my
students to use it to my advantage in favor of them in their academic process.
Luisa: Do you think that didactics allows you to innovate in terms of
education? And I think it's something we've been talking about during this
moment
Karol: Okay, if we define didactics as teaching techniques. The
Techniques applied in the teaching and learning process; ultimately, it is the
didactics that helps us carry out the process of innovation in teaching work, so
yes.
Luisa: In the experience as a teacher, well, to give an example of innovation that
implemented to prepare and deliver the classes.
I think that right now what you told me, about the TikTok, is true; the app.

Luisa: And how do they apply it there?
Karol: On Spotify, you can create a profile, just like on YouTube where you can upload.
videos to YouTube, but there you can upload and they are making podcasts, just like guys like
talks-conferences. That's what they are, covering quite interesting topics for their age.
Luisa: What is the goal of a class or how to prepare a successful class?
Karol: Well, the objective of a class is part of where I want to take my student to.
the content that I am giving you. We teachers, from my point of view, in
definitive; we are not sources of information, sources of information: it is Google Wikipedia,
It is Google Scholar; it is a source of information that we, as educators, must be the
bridge between the information and the student. Right? Since I have this information that the
a student can clearly search on YouTube and with the 10,000
tutorials that are available and in all the heaps of information sources that exist right now
digital. How do I make that really reach my student and stay with them?
So the class has that purpose, it aims to bridge that gap.
information and the student through the different activities that one plans to carry out
in them.
Luisa: Do you take into account the students' level of education for the classes?
I think you mentioned it earlier.
Karol: Totally, super important.
Luisa: Do you prepare your classes according to the parameters set by the institution?
Where do you work?
Karol: In the institution where I work, there is a clear direction, in my area which is
let's say; the communicative approach. However, we are fortunate that there is the
almost absolute freedom in the development of the class itself, obviously because there are some
guidelines from the Minister of Education, guide 22. Well, all the statutes that govern us
we the English teachers or the English area as such.
But in the institution where I work, they don't require me to say: you cannot put
Music or you watch videos and music, or you can't do this kind of exercises, no!
I have freedom, as in my DNA, I enjoy classes, which results in a fairly
interesting because in the way one is responsible and diligent with
the processes.
Luisa: What result do you expect after presenting your tools?
pedagogical?
Karol: To be honest, when I plan my classes, I could say in quotes that
I always expect the worst, that is to say, I clarify; that if I plan to give them an activity with a
song, the first thing I think is what if they don't like it, what do I do? Right?
Luisa: it's like the second point if it doesn't work then what is the ...
Karol: Exactly, what's my option B. What is my strategy? If I'm planning to show them a video.
In one of the school's auditoriums, the power went out, what should I do?
Luisa: Always look for a strategy for something that suddenly doesn't work.
Exactly the alternative.
Luisa. Ah! We have already mentioned that, it says: Using ICT, is familiar with
the ICT to teach the classes?
Karol: Basically all educational processes are already part of.
Luisa: As we well know, there are places where education is very limited.
At that point, what strategy can be promoted to provide it?
Karol: If we say that education is limited, I imagine it refers to the
schooling as such. We cannot cover the sun with a finger, the strategies have been
implemented, it can continue to be implemented. Yes, there are schools, for example:
rural area institutions that printed N number of brochures and modules and once
week and the students or their parents go to collect the modules and take them home.
There were other institutions that adopted radio as an informal communication channel.
Right now, let's say communication is much easier through WhatsApp than through these means.
that require, let's say, a little more connectivity, but that is simply
to guarantee that my student can access the information, but that does not guarantee
learning, From my point of view.
Luisa: Yes, I mean it's something very complex and right at that moment when the ...
the pandemic totally affected the classes, because in reality it became clear that not
Everyone had access to it. And it's very hard to know because the parents weren't there either.
familiarized with that then regarding those of early childhood I think it was something
difficult.
Something difficult.
Luisa: speaking about something personal, explain something to me suddenly, about the difference
of age that you have had, because it is something that I noticed. The age difference! That exists.
to teach the class and how that connection is between the students.
These questions are so popular, but it's to clarify a little about age and the specialty as
the experiences you have in teaching.
Karol: Well, as I said, I am 24 years old, I have a little over 6 years of
teaching experience. I turned 18 on February 12 and started teaching on February 16. I have
went through institutes, universities, schools, primary and secondary sectors.
Right now, well, I'm with tenth and eleventh grade. It's my second year with them, previously I'm...
with eighths and ninths, that is to say you are 15 years old and you and your teacher are 20 or you
you are 16 and your own is 21.
So, as I was saying, that gap in generation does not exist or is not very pronounced.
for example, it allows me to understand that my student can concentrate while
that the headphone listening to music.
And it's not about who expresses the attention, it's simply in the way I ...
process the information. Because in fact I can't concentrate in silence, I!
For example, it allows them to have the confidence to tell me: 'Teacher, look what is happening to me:'
Passing this, what do you think? If not, don't feel that it's what will first come out of me,
this is an accusation, it is a sentence to judge them.
It allows me also without them telling me since through the means in which I
I move, because I always use social media, so I know what the meme is that is

So, I bring them back to class, I can perhaps focus a bit more on
to have a focal point using those things that are familiar to them.
Luisa: Yes, it's something I wanted to highlight, because it's noticeable, one in the
the moment she doesn't see him and says: he's not just another student!
It has happened to me.
Luisa: And it's something normal and suddenly it's something surprising to have already been 6 years at 24.
Wait, before turning 24, I will barely have about two years of experience or just that.
it was almost experience in teaching. But then I am glad to have interviewed you.
I hope you are doing well!
Karol. Bye, bye, hope you are well.
Argumentative text
How do you think the Didactics course can contribute to your training as
teacher?
Talking about didactics, as Mattos L. (1955) says, would mean referring to the 'study and
development of teaching and learning processes." (Page 5). Therefore, this
course will provide us with a framework that will help us develop new
approaches regarding our training as teachers, combining the training of
knowledge and management of their discipline, with the capacity to develop strategies of
effective teaching-learning. As future educators, we will encounter
problems in our training
and didactics can provide us with great contributions to solve these issues. The
Didactics encourages us to take continuous training as a framework, since
training is not just an aspect that happens at a specific moment in our life, but
that, Education is a necessity that develops throughout our lives. (Viciana and
Zabala, 2004).
The permanent training of teachers, continuous training, encompasses all the
dimension of human development; from the acquisition of values to skills
and also the meanings. Didactics seeks to educate the subject in their own resource, it is
to say, that we manage our own learning. In this way, didactics promotes the
autonomous learning, this will allow us to face situations that may arise in
our life. As future tutors, we must focus on learning and not on the
teaching, that is, our axis should be focused on the result that is achieved through
of learning. By imparting knowledge through learning, as educators,
we must take into account each student, that is to say as teachers, we must adapt to
each person and observe learning as what it is; an individual process that each
student does it in their own way and under their particular conditions.
How can the conception of didactics as a scientific discipline of
Is education an added value to your training as a teacher?
Although didactics is conceived as a part of pedagogy that studies the
techniques and teaching methods. From this perspective, training is nourished as
teacher, since it gives us strategies, tools, methodologies, and techniques to
to train ourselves as teachers and be future trainers of pedagogical knowledge. The human being
it evolves and along with it everything around it evolves, in this case, we refer to that
The way of teaching also evolves. Education in the past focused on a
blackboard, but today's education goes beyond a blackboard and it is at this point where
didactics comes into play, as that science that provides strategies for acquisition and
teaching of knowledge.
In the interviews conducted with different educational stakeholders (teachers), we realized
account that didactics is a main factor in the educational process. Due to the
current pandemic caused by COVID-19, many of these teachers had to
change their way of teaching and make use of strategies and techniques that would allow them to
to train themselves and to train their students, making use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies)
Information and Communication), where didactics allowed them to innovate, create resources
methodological approaches that would allow them to be in class with their students without physical contact,
conduct online assessments with immediate results among others. We can conclude that
didactics seeks for the trainee teacher, based on participant observation,
identify classroom issues and create strategies for constant improvement of
attitudes and skills of the students. Also the
Didactics allows the teacher to adapt according to the situation they are in.
to teach, in order to achieve its main objective which is to form citizens with many qualities.
