SWOT activity
The SWOT is an observation instrument, which was initially used as an evaluation mechanism at the business level. But for a long time this element has been adapted to be used as a tool for knowledge and development of the person, student, professional, etc. It must be indicated that it allows resources or efforts to be channelled in those areas or aspects that must be maintained and those that must be modified or reduced, so that we can direct ourselves towards the goals that we really want for each person. For the teacher, it can be an instrument of connection and initiation of accompaniment.
SWOT focuses on four elements: Weaknesses, Threats, Strengths and Opportunities. Both Weaknesses and Strengths refer to an internal model of the person, while Threats and Opportunities have an external focus.
Practice: SWOT
Objective: To make an observation of each one in order to be aware of what we are.
Materials: Sheet and pen.
Duration: 20 minutes.
Description: Each participant must put on the sheet those characteristics or aspects that can help them get to know each other and be able to make changes to it.
As has been observed in the previous activity, what begins with this course is that the participants can have a knowledge of themselves, which allows them to develop mechanisms to increase their personal, professional and educational development.
