Descripción de las normas del curso

1. Este curso sigue el programa “Discipline-Based Dual-Language Immersion

Model®” del Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, el mismo esta diseñado

para promover el desarrollo de cada estudiante como un profesional bilingüe.

Cada taller será facilitado en inglés y español, utilizando el modelo 50/50.

Esto significa que cada taller deberá ser conducido enteramente en el

lenguaje especificado. Los lenguajes serán alternados en cada taller para

asegurar que el curso se ofrece 50% en inglés y 50% en español. Para

mantener un balance, el módulo debe especificar que se utilizarán ambos

idiomas en el quinto taller, dividiendo el tiempo y las actividades

equitativamente entre ambos idiomas. Si un estudiante tiene dificultad en

hacer una pregunta en el idioma especificado, bien puede escoger el idioma

de preferencia para hacer la pregunta. Sin embargo, el facilitador deberá

contestar la misma en el idioma designado para ese taller. Esto deberá ser

una excepción a las reglas pues es importante que los estudiantes utilicen el

idioma designado. Esto no aplica a los cursos de lenguaje que deben ser

desarrollados en el idioma propio todo en inglés o todo en español según

aplique.

2. El curso es conducido en formato acelerado, eso requiere que los

estudiantes se preparen antes de cada taller de acuerdo al módulo. Cada

taller requiere un promedio de diez (10) horas de preparación y en ocasiones

requiere más.

3. La asistencia a todos los talleres es obligatoria. El estudiante que se ausente

al taller deberá presentar una excusa razonable al facilitador. El facilitador

evaluará si la ausencia es justificada y decidirá como el estudiante repondrá

el trabajo perdido, de ser necesario. El facilitador decidirá uno de los

siguientes: permitirle al estudiante reponer el trabajo o asignarle trabajo

adicional en adición al trabajo a ser repuesto. Toda tarea a ser completada

antes del taller deberá ser entregada en la fecha asignada. El facilitador

ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.

Prep. 2008 María Piris Grau, Ed.D. Rev. 2009 Fidel R. Távara, M.Ed.

9

4. Si un estudiante se ausenta a más de un taller el facilitador tendrá las

siguientes opciones:

a. Si es a dos talleres, el facilitador reducirá una nota por debajo basado en

la nota existente.

b. Si el estudiante se ausenta a tres talleres, el facilitador reducirá la nota a

dos por debajo de la nota existente.

5. La asistencia y participación en clase de actividades y presentaciones orales

es extremadamente importante pues no se pueden reponer. Si el estudiante

provee una excusa válida y verificable, el facilitador determinará una

actividad equivalente a evaluar que sustituya la misma. Esta actividad deberá

incluir el mismo contenido y componentes del lenguaje como la presentación

oral o actividad a ser repuesta.

6. En actividades de grupo el grupo será evaluado por su trabajo final. Sin

embargo, cada miembro de grupo deberá participar y cooperar para lograr un

trabajo de excelencia, pero recibirán una calificación individual.

7. Se espera que todo trabajo escrito sea de la autoría de cada estudiante y no

plagiado. Se debe entender que todo trabajo sometido esta citado

apropiadamente o parafraseado y citado dando atención al autor. Todo

estudiante debe ser el autor de su propio trabajo. Todo trabajo que sea

plagiado, copiado o presente trazos de otro será calificado con cero (vea la

política de honestidad académica).

8. Si el facilitador hace cambios al módulo o guía de estudio, deberá discutirlos

y entregar copia a los estudiantes por escrito al principio del primer taller.

9. El facilitador establecerá los medios para contactar a los estudiantes

proveyendo su correo electrónico, teléfonos, y el horario disponibles.

10. EL uso de celulares esta prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de haber

una necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.

11. La visita de niños y familiares no registrados en el curso no está permitida en

el salón de clases.

12. Todo estudiante esta sujeto a las políticas y normas de conducta y

comportamiento que rigen al SUAGM y el curso.

Filosofía y Metodología Educativa

Este curso está basado en la teoría educativa del Constructivismo.

Constructivismo es una filosofía de aprendizaje fundamentada en la premisa, de

que, reflexionando a través de nuestras experiencias, podemos construir nuestro

propio conocimiento sobre el mundo en el que vivimos.

Cada uno de nosotros genera nuestras propias “reglas “y “métodos

mentales” que utilizamos para darle sentido a nuestras experiencias. Aprender,

por lo tanto, es simplemente el proceso de ajustar nuestros modelos mentales

para poder acomodar nuevas experiencias. Como facilitadores, nuestro enfoque

es el mantener una conexión entre los hechos y fomentar un nuevo

entendimiento en los estudiantes. También, intentamos adaptar nuestras

estrategias de enseñanza a las respuestas de nuestros estudiantes y motivar a

los mismos a analizar, interpretar y predecir información.

Existen varios principios para el constructivismo, entre los cuales están:

1. El aprendizaje es una búsqueda de significados. Por lo tanto, el aprendizaje

debe comenzar con situaciones en las cuales los estudiantes estén buscando

activamente construir un significado.

2. Significado requiere comprender todas las partes. Y, las partes deben

entenderse en el contexto del todo. Por lo tanto, el proceso de aprendizaje

se enfoca en los conceptos primarios, no en hechos aislados.

3. Para enseñar bien, debemos entender los modelos mentales que los

estudiantes utilizan para percibir el mundo y las presunciones que ellos

hacen para apoyar dichos modelos.

4. El propósito del aprendizaje, es para un individuo, el construir su propio

significado, no sólo memorizar las contestaciones “correctas” y repetir el

significado de otra persona. Como la educación es intrínsicamente

interdisciplinaria, la única forma válida para asegurar el aprendizaje es hacer

del avalúo parte esencial de dicho proceso, asegurando que el mismo

provea a los estudiantes con la información sobre la calidad de su

aprendizaje.

5. La evaluación debe servir como una herramienta de auto-análisis.

EDUC 503 Evaluation of Curriculum and Instruction

Prep. 2008 María Piris Grau, Ed.D. Rev. 2009 Fidel R. Távara, M.Ed.

12

6. Proveer herramientas y ambientes que ayuden a los estudiantes a interpretar

las múltiples perspectivas que existen en el mundo.

7. El aprendizaje debe ser controlado internamente y analizado por el

estudiante.

Description of course policies

1. This course follows the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez Discipline-

Based Dual-Language Immersion Model® designed to promote each

student’s development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will be

facilitated in English and Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model. This means

that each workshop will be conducted entirely in the language specified. The

language used in the workshops will alternate to insure that 50% of the

course will be conducted in English and 50% in Spanish. To maintain this

balance, the course module may specify that both languages will be used

during the fifth workshop, dividing that workshop’s time and activities between

the two languages. If students have difficulty with asking a question in the

target language in which the activity is being conducted, students may choose

to use their preferred language for that particular question. However, the

facilitator must answer in the language assigned for that particular day. This

should only be an exception as it is important for students to use the assigned

language. The 50/50 model does not apply to language courses where the

delivery of instruction must be conducted in the language taught (Spanish or

English only).

2. The course is conducted in an accelerated format and requires that students

prepare in advance for each workshop according to the course module. Each

workshop requires an average ten hours of preparation but could require

more.

3. Attendance at all class sessions is mandatory. A student that is absent to a

workshop must present the facilitator a reasonable excuse. The facilitator will

evaluate if the absence is justified and decide how the student will make up

the missing work, if applicable. The facilitator will decide on the following:

allow the student to make up the work, or allow the student to make up the

work and assign extra work to compensate for the missing class time.

Assignments required prior to the workshop must be completed and turned in

on the assigned date. The facilitator may decide to adjust the grade given for

late assignments and make-up work.

EDUC 503 Evaluation of Curriculum and Instruction

Prep. 2008 María Piris Grau, Ed.D. Rev. 2009 Fidel R. Távara, M.Ed.

19

4. If a student is absent to more than one workshop the facilitator will have the

following options:

a. If a student misses two workshops, the facilitator may lower one grade

based on the students existing grade.

b. If the student misses three workshops, the facilitator may lower two

grades based on the students existing grade.

5. Student attendance and participation in oral presentations and special class

activities are extremely important as it is not possible to assure that they can

be made up. If the student provides a valid and verifiable excuse, the

facilitator may determine a substitute evaluation activity if he/she understands

that an equivalent activity is possible. This activity must include the same

content and language components as the oral presentation or special activity

that was missed.

6. In cooperative activities the group will be assessed for their final work.

However, each member will have to collaborate to assure the success of the

group and the assessment will be done collectively as well as individually.

7. It is expected that all written work will be solely that of the student and should

not be plagiarized. That is, the student must be the author of all work

submitted. All quoted or paraphrased material must be properly cited, with

credit given to its author or publisher. It should be noted that plagiarized

writings are easily detectable and students should not risk losing credit for

material that is clearly not their own (see Academic Honesty Policy).

8. If the Facilitator makes changes to the study guide, such changes should be

discussed with and given to students in writing at the beginning of the first

workshop.

9. The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing an

email address, phone number, hours to be contacted and days.

10. The use of cellular phones is prohibited during sessions; if there is a need to

have one, it must be on vibrate or silent mode during class session.

11. Children or family members that are not registered in the course are not

allowed to the classrooms.

Teaching Philosophy and Methodology

This course is grounded in the learning theory of Constructivism.

Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by

reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world in

which we live.

Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to

make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of

adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences. As teachers,

our focus is on making connections between facts and fostering new

understanding in students. We will also attempt to tailor our teaching strategies

to student responses and encourage students to analyze, interpret and predict

information.

There are several guiding principles of constructivism:

1. Learning is a search for meaning. Therefore, learning must start with the

issues around which students are actively trying to construct meaning.

2. Meaning requires understanding wholes as well as parts. And parts must be

understood in the context of wholes. Therefore, the learning process focuses

on primary concepts, not isolated facts.

3. In order to teach well, we must understand the mental models that students

use to perceive the world and the assumptions they make to support those

models.

4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own

meaning, not just memorize the “right” answers and regurgitate someone

else’s meaning. Since education is inherently interdisciplinary, the only

valuable way to measure learning is to make the assessment part of the

learning process, ensuring it provides students with information on the quality

of their learning.

5. Evaluation should serve as a self-analysis tool.

6. Provide tools and environments that help learners interpret the multiple

perspectives of the world.

7. Learning should be internally controlled and mediated by the learner.

Anejo D/Appendix D

Desarrollo de una propuesta para la evaluación de un programa académico

en específico creando un modelo de la autoría del estudiante.

En el nivel graduado se espera que los estudiantes egresados sean capaces de

desarrollar su creatividad en la formulación de nuevos postulados que ayuden a

fortalecer la materia de estudio.

Es por tal razón, que en este trabajo es necesario que el estudiante, basándose

en los modelos a estudiarse en el curso, pueda crear un modelo de evaluación

único y original. (6 pts.)

Cada estudiante debe imaginarse que es un experto en el área de la evaluación.

Por ende tiene su propio modelo de evaluación al cual le ha puesto nombre. En

el trabajo escrito incluye un diagrama con las partes del modelo, explica cada

una de ellas y como éstas trabajan entre sí. (6 pts.).

Este modelo debe ir dirigido a la evaluación de todos los componentes de un

programa (filosofía, metas, propósitos, y objetivos, contenido, personal docente y

de apoyo, producto). Debe incluir detalladamente las preguntas evaluadoras

que se dilucidan en la evaluación, el diseño de estudio, métodos para la

recolección de datos, los métodos de análisis utilizados. (8 pts.)

Esta propuesta va a ir dirigida a una entidad X, en donde el estudiante interesa

que sus servicios como evaluador sean adquiridos. En la propuesta debe incluir

además un desglose de tareas específicas (plan de acción) y el tiempo

estimado para llevarlas a cabo. También un desglose de costos aproximados

que incurrirá el evaluador durante todo el proceso evaluativo. (6 pts.).

Recuerda incluir portada, tabla de contenido, introducción, conclusión, anejos (si

alguno) y velar la ortografía y la caligrafía (4pts.).
