Changes to the Archaeology programme
In the programme of archaeology of university of chile, everyone first have to do a basic cicle, where it supposes that you learn about everything related with the three speccifics mentions, and is a way to do that all the students have the same basis, focused on a social way of do our work. Since the third year we have specific classes of the mention that we choose and I think that in that moment it seems that everyone forget the social focus and in archaeoly the only important thing are prehistorics studies with the same methods and theories of 20 or 10 years ago.
I think that is necessary a change in our programs, we have excellent teachers and class in some cases, but we need learn new things and the way of use it in our future jobs, because outside our country, the traditional archaeology’s methods everyday are less important. The way of thinking and technologies clearly change, but in our classes, sometimes only tells us this things but don’t teach us really about it, I mean in practice.
And I think that is not necessary to say that the infrastructure is so poor that, of course, innovations in the study programme are completely dificcult, this year the university preffered do a new building for the students of postgrades studies while they are less than us.
Five long years to graduate and notice that there are a lot of things that you son’t have Idea but your boss is asking to do, because you graduate of one of the best universities in the country, but they don't know that there are a lot of things that you saw and knew for the first time when you started to work.
Well, the sad truth. Our university has to really attend this topics, and it's also a mission to us like students to demand this changes.
