Guatemala faces economic problems and needs to incorporate professional technicians more quickly. The author designed an "inventory of knowledge" survey to identify what students knew and wanted to learn. Students were then paired to teach and learn from each other, though participation decreased over time. The author then opened "schools" where people of all ages could learn together from the author, with high retention rates suggesting it will be successful.
Prototype and test
- 1. S . B A R R I O S Prototypes and how they were tested
- 2. Problem statement: Guatemala, the underdeveloped country with many economic problems, needs a way to incorporate professional technicians to produce as soon as possible in life.
- 3. Teams to learn: I designed a “inventory of knowledge” I asked some students to fill that form. Then, I analized the info and proposed some of the students to teach what they knew and learn what they wanted, The number of people participating was decreasing. Only three courses were taught. I did not measure the sucess of the action.
- 4. Open schools: I asked people, young, old, teens, adults if they wanted to learn together, with me as the teacher. People are coming, only about 10 % did not come back to second meeting, but I think it will be a success.
