Today's post I am going to talk about a very important topic for me: philosophy and its importance in school education. To begin, and as I already mentioned in the previous post, I am a philosophy teacher and since I was studying at the university, the rumor that philosophy would be eliminated from the compulsory subjects of secondary education, it was a ghost that haunted our steps. But that was not the worst, the worst was the certainty with which someones stated that philosophy was not necessary, because they was, and are, very wrong. The type of society and the educational system in which our country is immersed (hopefully not for much longer), has implanted the erroneous idea that philosophy and the body of knowledge that don´t provide material and immediate benefit, don´t they have no value. For this reason, subjects that are thought to have greater practical utility, such as mathematics and science, are usually favored. But the error is immense, since philosophy, in additi

Hi! In today´s post I am going to tell you about a postgraduate course that I would consider taking in the future. Well, the graduate course I would like to take is a Master of Educational Psychology. I am thinking on taking a master´s degree in Educational Psychology because, despite the fact that I know a lot about the educational system and how the schools, and the educational psychologists, operates (I am a philosophy teacher and I worked 4 years doing classes before studying psychology), it would allow me to have better and more specific knowledge in areas of my interest and, also, have better performance at a future work.

Currently, I study Psychology, so the job I would like to have in the future is in the area of Educational Psychology. I would like to have a job in this area of psychology, because I am a teacher (psychology is my second career) and I don´t want to lose contact with the educational area. If I think about it, I don't have to imagine much what it would be like to get a job as an educational psychologist, because I worked for 4 years in schools and I know perfectly what that job is like, what its functions are and what are the qualities or skills necessary for the position. On the other hand, I don't think this specialty of psychology allows me to travel a lot. I think this job will be more of an office job, I think I will be in a school most of the time, helping students and teachers with personal problems of children or with problems of the teaching-learning process. I also don
