RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Critical and alternative pedagogies in curriculum design and educational practices

Applied linguistics for the teaching of Spanish as a first language and English as a Second

Language History and sociology of social movements RESEARCH EXPERIENCE: 2016-2019 “Applied linguistics for the teaching of academic writing in

Spanish: an alternative model for track and field athletes.”

Honors Program Thesis

Defended and approved on May, 9 2019


3

Project goal: Creation of an alternative educational method to teach

track and field athletes the use of nexus in complex sentences,

through embodied learning. The method was designed with data

collected by a socioeconomic questionnaire that was administered to

three track and field students. Each student drafted an introduction to

an academic essay as a transfer activity of the method. Analogical

comparisons were designed between the writing process and the

physical training for competitive running. Additionally, analogical

comparisons were made between warm-up exercises and Spanish

nexus used in complex sentences, based on Chomsky’s concept of

Generative Grammar. Student’s evaluation interview showed that

participants successfully learned the usage of nexus in complex

sentences and the benefits of applying the writing process to their

writing.

Tasks: Completion of IRB documentation. Educational method

design. Design of data collection instruments: learning logs,

assessment sheets, evaluation interview and the socioeconomic

questionnaire.

2015-Summer “My barrio in a map: alternative map learning with language,

math and culture”

Qualitative Experimental Research

Project goal: Design of a research-based board game to learn the

usage of maps with related mathematical operations. To create the

game, Puerto Rican and African American students from Humboldt

Park were interviewed about their community. Students were able to

successfully: measure distances amongst key community locations,

retrieve geometric knowledge and contextually apply operations with

rational numbers. Furthermore, analogical comparisons prepared

students to transfer the relationship of “parts and wholes” from

fractions to the cultural dynamics of their community and Spanish

vocabulary.

Tasks: Design board game out of reusable materials. Create other

data collection instruments: student interview and evaluation

interview.

2015- November “Rethinking the pedagogy of the oppressed: an analysis of the

University of Puerto Rico’s student activism from a Frerian

perspective”

Qualitative Content Analysis

Project goal: Content analysis of the transformation of the University

of Puerto Rico’s student movement throughout Puerto Rico’s

economic and political crisis. Interviews were conducted to student


4

activists from the Student Strike in 2010-2011 and the student

walkouts of 2014 and 2015. Using these interviews, newspaper

articles and official documents from the student movement an

analysis was conducted on how their activism is comparatively

related to Paolo Freire’s philosophy of liberating education as

proposed in “The Pedagogy of the Oppressed.”

Tasks: Completion of IRB documentation and training. Conduct

content analysis. Lead and design interview questions.

2015-April “An alternative college program for Secondary Spanish teachers

in Puerto Rico”

Research Proposal

Project goal: Curriculum design of an alternative college program for

secondary educators in Spanish. Curriculum consisted of five year

long interdisciplinary seminars and two courses: History and Culture,

Educational and Applied Psychology, Applied Neuroscience

Education, Performing Arts and Philosophy, Linguistics and

Literature, Research Methods and a Teaching Practicum. The

program’s main objective was to develop a generation of teachers that

use research skills to improve their teaching practices and foster

social advocacy and political awareness in community issues of social

transformation. The program also establishes a non-traditional process

of admission that consisted on an interview and/or portfolio, class

demonstration and a residential seminar with all candidates.

Tasks: Curriculum and seminar design

2015- March “Alternative lesson plan for the teaching of Spanish using applied

linguistics for high school students”

Research Project

Project Goal: Creation of the theoretical framework and practical

underpinnings for a Spanish lesson plan with Applied Linguistics in

mind. This research proposal included two lesson plans that aimed

students to understand the concepts of morphology and syntax by

creating a dictionary of their own teen vocabulary and analyzing

student dialogues. These activities explore students’ linguistic

conscience and performance, and their ability to do collaborative

work.

Tasks: Curriculum design and development of lesson plans.

2014-November “Analysis of a Middle School Curriculum using Alternative Education”

Research Project


5

Project goal: Development of a curriculum design using two

alternative models of education in Puerto Rico: “Nuestra Escuela” in

San Juan, Puerto Rico and a Recreational and Academic Summer

Camp for academically disadvantaged Middle school students.

Tasks: Curriculum design and observation of both models.

2014-April “Qualitative analysis of student participation and leadership in

the challenges and problems of student government.”

Mixed Design Research Project

Project goals: A comparative analysis on how the General Student

Council of the University of Puerto Rico and the Student Council of

the College of Education promote student participation in issues

regarding the University of Puerto Rico’s governance, student

admission and accessibility, state funding and quality education.

Tasks: Conduct interviews to council members. Questionnaire

Design. Content analysis of both student council’s policies and

official documents.

2013-November “Conscience, democracy and community”: projects and

reflections to increase student’s valorization to General Studies.

Research Project

Project goal: Content analysis of the history and educational

philosophy of the College of General Studies in Puerto Rico to

propose a new theoretical framework for the College inspired in

transdisciplinarity. This curricular revision included the creation of a

Social Improvement Lab for action-based research.

Tasks: Analysis of the structure of Institutes or Social Labs in Action

Research among Latin America and the Caribbean. Creation of a

student questionnaire about their opinions and values of the General

Studies Curriculum at the University of Puerto Rico.

2013-Summer “Recreational learning alternatives to implement in a traditional

middle school curriculum”:

Qualitative Research Project

Project goal: Evaluation of the viability of incorporating recreational

and academic activities to a middle school summer camp in Carolina,

Puerto Rico. The camp’s aim was to prepare low income and

academically disadvantage students in language and math skills. This

study proposed alternative approaches to teach these skills.

Tasks: IRB authorization paperwork, curriculum design, qualitative
