Changes in Post Graduate program

Innovation in education is an important process, educators must be actualized with new trends in education and with the social changes. Nowadays technology is a part of our lives and must be incorporated to education.

I am trying, as a future educator, to know innovative ways to teach and one of my favorite is Kahoot. A page where you can make question and the students can answer from their own cellphone (who has no a smartphone today?).

I would had liked that in my post-graduate program they would had used more technology and new ways to teach. With respect to the curriculum I would add more practical subjects and not only theory, but for that we need more economical resources and a better infrastructure to support all students and in Chile could be difficult.

The length of the program is good, but I would suggest that the thesis could be started from the first year and the theory subjects have less workload, because thesis is the most important activity in a PhD so should be addressed from the beginning.

In conclusion, we are studying in a great university and in our programs, there are excellent professors working the best than they can with limited resources, everything could be better, but sometimes an improvement needs a lot of work in group.
