The concept that concerns us this round has a use excluding in the educational field, although, before referring in detail to it, we will refer to the two terms that compose it and that by Separately they refer to specific questions that will of course help us to understand the concept in question even more.
Curricular activity of a school in which a relevant anniversary of the homeland is celebrated, with students being its protagonists and doers
A act It is a fact of a public and formal nature, that is, it is endowed with various formalities.
And for his part, school, is a word that allows us to account for everything associated with or typical of the school, such is the case of a uniform, materials or the school act.
So a school act is a activity that takes place in the school and that is closely linked with it since it constitutes one more activity than those that take place in it.
Generally, school events involve the commemoration of some important anniversary for the country or some notable date in the history of the institution educational, among others.
School events are normally stipulated in the programming of the school year and will be recorded in the so-called school calendar, where the methodology with which it will be celebrated.
An event to learn and interact with peers, teachers, authorities and the family
It should be noted that a school act represents a fundamental activity in school such as the learning of a subject since it is also contributes to the training of students because they commemorate and celebrate dates, actions, which represent heroic values, ethical, or spiritual, worthy of being honored and disseminated, in order to remain present through the generations.
For this matter, it is essential that the school act be vindicated in this particular sense of the teaching that per se represents.
It is important that we value the school act as a unique learning instance and qualify it as this mode because its characteristics are quite different from the typical teaching activity in the classrooms.
School events require interaction with peers and teachers, and special preparation not only in terms of assembly but also they usually demand acting on the part of the student, a situation that is usually very attractive for the vast majority of students because it allows them to play in addition to learn.
It is important that the teachers in charge of preparing the school act know how to encourage their students to engage in the preparation, that they know that it is an activity of all: students and teachers who come together to produce this event.
But of course the school act, normally, demands arduous previous work, in which the students must prepare the topic, analyzing and reflecting on it, collecting data and finally organizing the information obtained to finally mount the act with all the creativity and possible information.
On the other hand, we must say that the school act is an event of enormous interest for the school and the student for the teaching value it holds, as we have already appreciated, but it is also for the family of the student who participates, because it is customary for the school to invite the family to attend the presentation of the event.
Then, finally, in addition to an act of vital importance for the teaching of the student, it is also about of an event that unites the family and commits it to the learning and school life of its members.
Parents, siblings, uncles, grandparents, among others, often fill the schoolyards or function rooms to witness the performances of their relatives.
The family usually attributes great value to these acts and tries not to miss them, many even collaborate closely to make them happen.
An example will make the issue more visible and understandable. In Argentina, every May 25 a revolution that allowed the country to take the first step towards autonomy with respect to the Spanish Crown and as a state.
Meanwhile, during that day it is remembered that a group of patriots met at the doors of the town hall, at that time an administrative institution and politics, and they obtained, on the one hand, the resignation of the Viceroy, the current Spanish authority, and on the other hand, his replacement by a new purely patriotic governing body: the junta.
This question, which is so important for the history of Argentina, in addition to being studied in the school in the corresponding subject, is normally remembered in a school act on the eve and even represented by the students on the basis of a script or staging directed by a teacher.
