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:
