Yesterday I read that the Women's Institute with the Ministry of Education will launch a program to prevent domestic violence in the IES.
I was very surprised, because I have two years working in an effective and enforceable (which takes as its starting point an investigation more than five years with students of the IES of Murcia): I've designed, I have already implemented and are testing other teachers (Llano de Brujas, Saavedra Fajardo, Las Torres de Cotillas and Torre Pacheco), and although I suggested to the Institute for Women, I have not ignored.
I note a very important issue, so this is not, once again, pure zeal for advertising, or a waste of economic resources without effective result, we must bear in mind that the program has to be (again): effective and applicable . And the knowledge I have of this progrm is neither one thing nor the other.
To put it bluntly, this program is pure artifice. Methodologically
is irrelevant, what you should rule out in advance.
Do you know who is a Secondary School? However university professor who is, has no idea of \u200b\u200bhow a secondary school, or what are the schedules, or timing, or classroom activity, or ... And worst of all, the Ministry of Education proves it. It must be that there either have no idea. He speaks
12 program two test sessions. What establishes a minimum of 14, using videos, for example, can extend the program to 16 sessions, which coincide in time with tests, recoveries, extracurricular activities, parties, etc., we take 20 sessions (1 per week equals 20 weeks).
What course will teach? As if he were seeing.
This program will be dedicated at 4 ยบ ESO and from there going to be assigned to the Ethics. Did you know that this subject has only one hour a week? This program will absorb a minimum of two thirds of the programming, and the subject content occupies only one-sixth.
Impossible.
addition, as one hour a week is impossible to develop in a quarter (2 nd quarter in particular) for what is scheduled, if we count the weeks, and discount vacations and holidays, the program will last until May, at least (5 months).
same thing happen with the tutorials.
As for the objectives and content of the program: Do you really think you can train girls and boys in skills that enable them to identify future violent relationships? Do you sincerely believe that boys and girls do not know how to identify them (by themselves and themselves)? Do you think you change modes-of-being and feeling is the same as changing behavior? Do you think learning and aprehendizaje follow the same patterns? Do you really think that is so simple?
several years working with students (or played-os? Go do not remember), even the girl whose example I have at first. Several years (investigation) in which they read stories, seen documentaries, movies, power-point. Have argued, fought, answered, argued, and so on. And after many years of research I am able to say that, unfortunately, the issue can not be reduced to a Literature Workshop ": 12 to 20 sessions to combat child abuse"?; For students to generate "self-concepts ?; to know "the values \u200b\u200bof self? and body with "intuitions?; for girls" know not to get involved? (Drawn from the program itself).
The students and the students can recognize in overwhelmingly sexist and violent attitudes. But still generate complementary relations (dominance / submission), as if they somehow affect chronic trauma syndrome, as if he were drawn into a relationship that transcends them as individuals. And this program does not affect the system of relations, but falling in all the mistakes that I have been denouncing (Among other things, the Women's Institute gave me the Murciano of the Year award for this reason), still considered abuse from a reductionist perspective of self and their behaviors.
If we want to prevent domestic violence have to go through cultural intervention programs (Marta Torres Falco Judith Herman, Eleanor Walker EA, etc. Very great specialists in the field). And again, this program is not. It focuses on the individual, the ego, not culture, not the contents that make up the systems of relations between individuals. It focuses on Mary and John but not the kind of relationship that exists between women and men and covers private and public dimensions and is present in all spheres of reality: religion, economics, politics, family, ...
When involved in education should be tackled precisely in all these dimensions, and this intervention, which is always long-term change must affect the living conditions of women, Additional conformation (submission) of their gender with respect to the male (domain) part-time odd jobs, lower wages for equal work double shifts at work (inside and outside the home), equitable share of power in all the estates, owning your own body, etc..
aggression (physical and emotional), is the tip of the iceberg. Tragically, no doubt, but the effect is not the cause, the symptom not the disease ...
And this program is designed, in its objectives and content, even the effects of domestic violence and not its causes.
