“If it is going to take me more time to interpret the rule and program than to prepare my classes, it is because clearly the legislative development of the LOMLOE fails”. This is how an Asturian teacher expressed herself a few days ago in this Twitter thread, in which she shows her discontent and frustration with the LOMLOE implementation process. The law (which will be implemented in stages until the 2023-2024 academic year) is already active in the first, third and fifth years of Primary; first and third of Secondary; the first year of Baccalaureate and the first year of basic grade training cycles, which is causing a headache for teachers, who feel (above all) overwhelmed and overwhelmed by the lack of time to prepare all the changes that it brings the new law.
“The problem is wanting to change very complicated things without time or resources to train”
Although the LOMLOE was approved in December 2020 and entered into force in January 2021, the truth is that it has been throughout this year that the different royal decrees that develop the articles of the law have been approved. And that has caused something as important as the curriculum to be published too late (or even in some autonomous communities it has not yet been done). Thus, the pedagogue and teacher María del Mar Sánchez commented in this tweet on the problem of implementing a new educational law with little time or training.
Doing things quickly and without consensus implies:
– Each CCAA is doing what it can/wants. Some with more good faith than others. Since they are such complex things, each one understands things like Computational Thinking in a different way, for example.— María del Mar Sánchez (@mallemar) September 6, 2022
Likewise, this other Secondary school teacher expressed his discomfort for the same reason: lack of time.
If the LOMLOE fails, it will not be because of its content or because of political drift, it will be because of the usual damn timing: texts not yet consolidated in September, little time to program, no training in this regard and, to top it off, the regional boycott that leaves behind from no one to the teacher.— José Antonio Lucero (@cunahalicarnaso) September 6, 2022
On the other hand, another of the most widespread complaints is about the text itself, which many consider difficult to understand or interpret. As this teacher underlined:
Understand the new curriculum derived from LOMLOE and apply it in programming >>>>>>> Read and understand Hegel at first.— Pablo GH (@pablogeh) September 11, 2022
Or this other teacher in relation to one of the concepts that appear in the standard: learning situations.
Something does not start well when each teacher is making a different interpretation of the learning situations to apply the #LOMLOE with “success.”— Profe Álvaro (@Alsacristan) September 13, 2022
Support between teachers
However, and due to the chaos that teachers have found back in the classroom, many teachers have gotten down to work to help with explanations, tools, resources or presentations that can help apply the law of the best possible way. This teacher has a thread in which he explains many of the LOMLOE concepts in a simple way: “The thread to avoid cutting your veins with the #LOMLOE: the elements of the curriculum explained in a simple way.”
OBJECTIVES: what the student has to be able to do/know at the end of the educational stage. (What comes out of a lifetime in the schedules). They are related to the key skills in beautiful tables.- Recreation Guard (@GuardiaRecreo) September 5, 2022
In this other one, a teacher named Leticia also explains how to apply the norm in her subject, Physics and Chemistry, and in Castilla La Mancha:
– The basic knowledge is stated in a more or less generic way in each block. Sometimes they are likely to be specified to taste.
– The weight of the evaluation criteria is the same for all of them.
– The criteria are not associated with knowledge, we decided that.— Leticia 🍏 || 📜🌑🎲🌒 (@ProfaDeQuimica) September 11, 2022
This other teacher also offers teachers a document on the LOMLOE and curricular development: Likewise, on our website, you can find different support material for all teachers: like this article in which the main concepts of the LOMLOE are explained, educational manuals related to the law, educational resources adapted to the standard, or this bank of learning situations to apply in the classroom.
