Descripción de las normas del curso

1. Este curso sigue el modelo “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.

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

siguientes opciones:

ADED 630 Leadership in Adult Education Programs

Prep. 2008. Fidel R. Távara, M.Ed.

8

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

nota existente.

o 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.

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.

ADED 630 Leadership in Adult Education Programs

Prep. 2008. Fidel R. Távara, M.Ed.

11

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.

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

following options:

ADED 630 Leadership in Adult Education Programs

Prep. 2008. Fidel R. Távara, M.Ed.

17

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

based on the students existing grade.

o 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.

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.

12. All students are subject to the policies regarding behavior in the university

community established by the institution and in this course.

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.

Concept Map

Definition: Concept maps offer a method to represent information visually. There

are a variety of such maps.

Purpose: Concept maps harness the power of our vision to understand complex

information "at-a-glance." The primary function of the brain is to interpret incoming

information to make meaning. It is easier for the brain to make meaning when

information is presented in visual formats. This is why a picture is worth a

thousand words. It is essential to your studies and career that you can handle

complex information; concept maps offer one method to do this.

Practical applications in your courses:

• Handy way to take notes during lecture.

• Excellent aids to group brainstorming.

• Planning your studies and career.

• Providing graphics for your presentations and term papers

• A way to outline your term papers and presentations.

• Refine your creative and critical thinking.

Note: For sample concept maps, go to:
