La educación del niño enfermo | Ángel Mejía | TEDxAlcarriaSt

[Music]

when they told me today here you have to

talk about education better than the

deconstruction of education

the truth is that suddenly I was shocked

quite not

however, that assumes it as a

challenge and I got to it

for this the first thing I did was

pose to me how I was going to

focus and precisely the word of

construction education ill

I saw the possibility of transmitting what

I had been working on what I had

worked during these last 25

years of my life as a professional is

say educational attention to the child

sick and I wonder and ask them

you all need to teach the

sick kid

let’s leave it there my arrival to this

theme to education

this kind of education to the attention

domiciliary hospital and domiciliary

was let’s say a destination was put on the road

one day I was there he told me one

company a teacher and we got to

chatting thing from teachers was not June and

I told him today I have deleted in the

center where he was working the

last three years and he told me that

there was a teacher’s place in the

hospital

so that one stayed in my mind

I was thinking and end lópez as

a service commission but with the

idea of staying only one year

the truth is that my arrival at the hospital

It meant finding a situation

different from what I’ve lived up to

then it was a sanitary environment already

I had worked an educational environment

with some people with whom

you do not usually work doctors

nurses that is to say I suddenly gave myself

account that paraphrasing socrates

I did not know anything, I just know that

They know I do not know anything

indeed he knew nothing nor give us

Hospitals and child care

ill or the educational theories that

had to apply that is the challenge was

important and that I realized that the

children who had the hospital not

they stopped being students that is to say they were

sick

some have serious illnesses without

But they were students who had to be

attend and work

there were children in bed who received

daily attention

there were children who could go to the classroom and

there were other children that once exceeded

her illness

well better once they were given the

hospital discharge

they spent a convalescent time in their

years old and those were not

taken care of and that there was one thing that we

united everyone plane still a link and

was that both the hospital as

education before my arrival to giant

to the classroom they had agreed and

they have created precisely one to the hospital

area in a very simple waiting room

four months four chairs but already

there was a path traveled and that path

had to continue it therefore what

first thing I did in my case does

pose to me when it was raised here and

now building effectively

had to see if the training received

in the faculty was valid to work

there in the hospital

if the educational theories that have

that they teach you throughout their years

of students are valid if that

that you see applied in schools

previous were also valid said

to be questioned of course that this

question was one thing that I do not get

in question has Socrates said that

in the fourth century before Christ and only

questioned because from the error

we could get to discover that

that really served me in this case to

me at my job

once

q is what is what serves me put it

in value and we started to build and

let me say a paragraph and said

that children in care

domiciliary because he was in the

home did not have school attendance

I admitted that I liked

I finished looking at my homework or daily at

hospital and in the afternoon I was approaching home

of some children who were going to be

months but angel told me today that no

can you follow the houses you have to

earn you the hospital consequently that

had to do is look for the means to

that the children who were in their

domicile had an education

also school attendance

so how did I participate in events

also out there at the national level of

Castilla La Mancha and other so on

contrast with my city mates

Royal Albacete and tetraplegics of Toledo

that there was a teacher in each of

the centers that is where it is

mexico is ok some more but

good and we started to have established

a work plan so that these children

they had attention and effectively to

after a while with the administration

it worked many years of effort and

in the end we get that they will be created

eight teams and educational attention

hospital and domiciliary in eight

health areas different from

Castilla la Mancha

that way it was true that every child

without taking into account their race religion in

this disease case had education

but here is a great project not

let’s focus on the day to day in

the hospital work and you get to the

hospital and you meet some

professionals what you have to share

what has to live and personal

medical doctors nurses but

there is also another fundamental part that

they are the teachers of the center of origin

of the kid that you are going to work and

of course the families the parents the day

a day

with them ultimately four legs

for a personal health bank

teachers from the center of origin

families and teachers or teachers of

the hospital

everything aimed at a single idea

which is that the sick child is

attended and appropriately for it

that normalize a word that

surely you have known me

say it several times throughout this

scrap normalize a situation

difficult in the child’s hospital is

sick person is in an environment of the

hostile diabetes a hospital

well it’s also an educational center

therefore you have to give him a plan

center that I will not have anymore because

final what interests us is what we

go tell the teachers of the center

of origin and above all also

take advantage of the spaces and gas to

hospital

if you have your room where two class but

the hall the rooms

the game room are also part of

from that day to day that we are going to give

way and life comes the time to give

kind of children come to

school that you have to do the day to

day is as complicated as a child

who is in his room surrounded by

his family arrived from comfort inside

of the hospital is receiving the love

the world hears you have to come to the

beyond school and s

in that plane those who empathize earn

your trust

for him that of the parents if they do not have

father’s trust

you will hardly win the trust

of the child once he has already earned the

confidence of the child who can attend

class in Mexico if you consider it

timely

another very important part is the

motivation in education motivate and

we know that that is fundamental but in

a site like this

It is even more important and within

motivation in the pits

in my case I put the emphasis on

word flexibility for the child

can go you do not have a work schedule

with the kid , but you can go when

he can when friends or can

consent because it has given wings dialogue

well the doctor can not go to class ay

I can not therefore do not worry no

after goods can also leave

class when I feel like it but always

in relation to a work plan that

comes the physician has to be 11

to go out and take the sandwich that they

it gives vertigo live

normalize a complex situation that

have a child in the hospital

and here it does make sense that

what we said at the beginning of

theories that were left in the university

a personalized tour and

individualized or work each arrived

a child in his room at home in

class but with national information

the teachers of the center of origin who

you shirts have good their

physical and psychological needs

say never anywhere else that

here in the hospital and with children and

it makes sense is teaching

personalized and horrified

globalization that means that I

tried we tried that all the

aspects that surround the child in the

hospital doctors and nurses spaces

also converge in a single purpose that

the child is comfortable inside the

integrative participatory hospital

pay attention when a boy comes

hospital or class can be 16 years old

can have 31 with as aces that the

child is a child of 16 a

picture boy

good sometimes using tools

Work such as this means of

communication can be a job

normal e of a mural my proposal of

work in the beginning was the fish tank to

I named the pool

because it seemed that it was logical that

you had a school and a name a

name the kid and the parents already

all the hospital

They mean to him heavy and

through there the fish tank

we started working for example the

stories

the story became one of the

fundamental lines of work

he wrote stories to the child who had a

cancer to a child came not legia

also pediatrics became the

hall in an exhibition place of

Our jobs

every room but I find the child

is better identified with a story that

with a cold room number and the

game room was the place where no

they could only share but

a series of

performances of people who came people

associations that come to lend a hand

at specific moments

at that time the new technologies

it’s something amazing 20 years ago

communicate the child could with their

teachers from the centers of

origin was very very difficult to get

in this way the insulation is broken

in the same hospital that they had

kids loneliness

nowadays all and it’s remarkable its led

his phone but then it was very

difficult

some of the projects that more

more interested have evolved this

construction period of build

this kind of education was the

page the fish tank and especially the classrooms

Hospitals is a page where

we have tried to put everything that

we knew about hospitable for that

we join the santander hospitals

de ourense de albacete by elda so that

when a new teacher comes to a classroom

have work tools that you can

let’s say apply immediately to

children and who do not find the difficulty

that others find when we arrive in

that month

other important activities that we have

launched that service advantage

with the health staff

we move to secondary schools

where there are for example emergencies

sanitary has nothing to do with

children of the town of medical sight the

misinformation and then llosa move

to your classmates and to the institutes today

other children and then cee build

what are we doing we have in mind

people like clowns without borders the

hospital clowns

the abracadabra ballots quantity magicians

like javi to that in a moment

they come and they give us a code

more motivation for children

continue working normally and in

this point I want to thank above all

the 4th year students of medicine that from

20 years ago they are doing the

Christmas party plus a job that

for me it is fundamental because in

Christmas that has to be happening about

days in the hospital is very complex and

now we can ask ourselves and

answer again after having

listened to and if it is necessary to teach the

sick kid

I think we could all answer

with a resounding and strong

I think so, because the

effort of these children to improve by

get out of that disease and that today

come to school in a plane of

equality with other colleagues

the educational point of view I think that

worth

thank you very much
