Algunos de los principios básicos de enseñanza de la puesta en marcha del enfoque de AICLE que proponemos en el presente diseño curricular son los siguientes:

La enseñanza deberá combinar los siguientes elementos:

Contenido: que permita progresar en el conocimiento, las destrezas y la comprensión de los temas específicos de una o varias materias determinadas

Comunicación: el uso de la lengua para aprender mientras se aprende a usar la lengua misma

Cognición: que implica el desarrollo de las destrezas cognitivas que enlazan la formación de conceptos (abstractos y concretos), los conocimientos y la lengua

Cultura: que permite la exposición a perspectivas variadas y a conocimientos compartidos que nos hagan más conscientes de el otro y de uno mismo.

La enseñanza centrada en el alumno deberá promover su compromiso con la tarea de aprender en cooperación con el docente negociando los temas y tareas, utilizando ejemplos y situaciones reales, realizando trabajo por proyectos, etc.

La enseñanza deberá ser flexible atendiendo a los distintos estilos de aprendizaje y facilitadora de la comprensión y producción del contenido que sirve como contexto de aprendizaje.

La enseñanza estará orientada a promover el aprendizaje interactivo y autónomo a través del trabajo en pares y grupal, actividades que involucren la negociación de significados y desarrollen el trabajo de investigación.

Global Goal:

To build conscience. To reflect about nowadays diseases.

The Nutritional Pyramid

Assessment FOR learning

Designed to give teachers information to modify teaching and learning activities. Teachers can used this information to streamline and target instruction and resources and to provide feedback to students to help them advance their learning.

Assessment AS learning

A process for developing and supporting metacognition for students. It occurs when students monitor their own learning and use the feedback from this monitoring to make adjustments, adaptations and changes in what they understand.

Assessment OF learning

Summative in nature and used to confirm what students know and can do and to demonstrate whether they have achieved the curriculum outcomes.

Washback

Tests can have positive and negative effects, or washback. Positive Washback  refers to expected test effects.  For example, a test may encourage students to study more or may promote a connection between standards and instruction. Negative Washback refers to the unexpected, harmful consequences of a test.  For example, instruction may focus too heavily on test preparation at the expense of other activities. One way to ensure positive washback is through instructional planning that links teaching and testing.  By selecting a test that reflects your instructional and program goals, you can more closely line testing with instruction.

Construct

Constructs are the abilities of the learner that we believe underlie their test performance, but which we cannot directly observe. These being “concepts”, and we can identify them because they are usually abstract nouns. The oldest construct in education is propbably “intelligence”. When we abstract from what we observe and create labels we are essentially building a basic theory to explain observable phenomena.The important thing is deciding what qualities you want students to have and how you will assess them against those qualities.

Digital or E-Portfolios

Student e-portfolio were born out of print-based portfolios (from the mid-1980s) in mainly art, English, and communication studies …Digital portfolios are selective and purposeful collections of student work, records of learning, growth over time (Barrett, 2000), and they change on the part of the student. They are multimedia representations of learning achievements. They may include:

NUTRITIONBULIMYANOREXY

Definitions•Anorexy:People suffering from anorexy, don’t want to mantain their normal weight because they are affraid of gaining weight and becoming

obese, and they are worried about their body.

The Nutritional Pyramid

A Fear of FoodA History of Eating Disorders

In the late 1800s, the curtain was about to rise on modern conceptions of anxiety. Victorians were beginning to get a glimpse of a new world, a world characterized by radical transformations, such as the telegraph, new theories of evolution and religion, telephones, light bulbs, elevators, and new forms of transportation. Such transformations seemed to produce a special kind of fear, a fear that we might call today general anxiety. Among burgeoning attention to the study of “mental states,” such as William James’ seminal work Principles of Psychology and Freud’s theory of the unconscious mind, Victorian doctors increasingly noted a rise in a previously obscure disorder called “hysteria.”

Hysteria, from the Greek hysterikos (“of the womb”) was mainly associated with women and was indeed thought to be caused by a dysfunction of the uterus (Stacey 2002). The symptoms, mostly exhibited by women, were physical, but they also seemed to be linked to psychological factors and emotional distress. Increasingly, hysteria was seen as a type of social illness that was directly related to the needs and style of the era. In fact, soon after the turn of the century, cases of hysteria declined as social transformations were established, including significant changes in the status of women (Gordon 2000). Yet, in the second half of the twentieth century, a different and more serious type of “anxiety” burst into public view: eating disorders. Though several ancient texts seem to describe many modern eating disorders, these disorders began to occur with alarming frequency in the late 1960s.

Eating Disorders Statistics

General:• Almost 50% of people with eating disorders meet the criteria for depression.1• Only 1 in 10 men and women with eating disorders receive treatment. Only 35% of people that receive treatment for eating disorders get treatment at a specialized facility for eating disorders.• Up to 24 million people of all ages and genders suffer from an eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder) in the U.S.• Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.Students:• 91% of women surveyed on a college campus had attempted to control their weight through dieting. 22% dieted “often” or “always.”• 86% report onset of eating disorder by age 20; 43% report onset between ages of 16 and 20.• Anorexia is the third most common chronic illness among adolescents.• 95% of those who have eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25.• 25% of college-aged women engage in bingeing and purging as a weight-management technique.• The mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa is 12 times higher than the death rate associated with all causes of death for females 15-24 years old.• Over one-half of teenage girls and nearly one-third of teenage boys use unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives.

• In a survey of 185 female students on a college campus, 58% felt pressure to be a certain weight, and of the 83% that dieted for weight loss, 44% were of normal weight.

Mortality Rates:Although eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental disorder, the mortality rates reported on those who suffer from eating disorders can vary considerably between studies and sources. Part of the reason why there is a large variance in the reported number of deaths caused by eating disorders is because those who suffer from an eating disorder may ultimately die of heart failure, organ failure, malnutrition or suicide. Often, the medical complications of death are reported instead of the eating disorder that compromised a person’s health.

According to a study done by colleagues at the American Journal of Psychiatry (2009), crude mortality rates were:

• 4% for anorexia nervosa

• 3.9% for bulimia nervosa

• 5.2% for eating disorder not otherwise specified

Why You Need Calcium

By Shereen Jegtvig, About.com GuideJuly 23, 2012My BioHeadlinesForumRSS

Calcium is needed for strong bones and teeth, but that's not all. It's also important for normal blood clotting, and for healthy muscle and nervous system function. Most adults need around 1,000 mg to 1,200 mg every day (and teenagers need more). You can get enough calcium from the foods you eat.Dairy products are well-known as a source of calcium, but you don't need to consume dairy foods if you can't tolerate them or even if you just don't want to consume them. You can get plenty of calcium from other foods like legumes, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds and bony fish (like canned salmon), or you can take calcium supplements.

Vitamin D is essential as well. If you don't get enough sun exposure (up to 30 minutes twice each week), then you might want to consider taking vitamin D supplements. Why? Because vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium.
