About education


First of all must be established that education is a right, a right not only of children but of human beings should be so cross and accessible to all.
If you ask me I think of education in Chile answer without hesitation that pesima encounter, not by knowledge surrender or because I think that teachers teach not know, for me the only reason all the defects of education is the commercialization of it.
In Chile education is seen as a commercial object, something that can be sold, having market competition, however in other countries like Finland is seen as fundamental to society, starting with the importance given to teachers, here in Chile, should provide incentives for young pedagogy study in Finland instead only the best students can study pedagogy, the system priority is learning and that children may develop an in the best way on the other side in our country is looking for children to get the best scores on standardized tests by all logic trading education.
I hope this actually change with the passing of the years and the development of the struggle that we since this generation was in eighth grade, but have generated changes still not enough lots to do and change because society begins in education(211)

Burrhus Frederic Skinner

not really admire any psychologist but I can say that one of the jobs that I liked most is that of Burrhus Frederic Skinner
 was a psychologist, social philosopher and author of usa. He conducted pioneering work on experimental psychology and advocated behaviorism, which sees behavior as a function of environmental histories of reinforcement.
Skinner was born in rural Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, United States. He was part of Hamilton College in New York with the intention of becoming a writer. After graduation, Skinner spent a year in Greenwich Village trying to become a writer of fiction, but soon became disillusioned with his literary skills.
 Skinner became interested in the behaviors and actions of the people, which led him to study psychology at Harvard University (which at that time was not an institution at the forefront of psychology), graduating and doctorate in 1931. Reached be part of this institution as a researcher in 1936, and later developed his teaching at the University of Minnesota and then at the University of Indiana, then returned to Harvard as a professor in 1948, which would put the rest of your life.
his most important theory was the theory of reinforcement, this theory took a turn to behaviorism practically starting another stage in this psychological outlet.
I like his work because in my opinion is one of the currents is closer to the scientific understanding of the human mind.(233)
