Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07

Descripción de las normas del curso

1. Este curso sigue el programa “Discipline-Based Dual-Language 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 modulo debe especificar que se utilizaran 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 ingles 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 require un promedio de diez (10) horas de preparación y en

ocasiones require mas.

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 de taller deberá ser entregada en la

fecha asignada. El facilitador ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.

EDUC 323 Literature for Children 9

Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07

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 valida y verificable, el facilitador

determinara 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.

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.

6. 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)

7. Si el facilitador hace cambios al modulo o guía de estudio, deberá

discutirlos y entregar copia a los estudiantes por escrito al principio del

primer taller.

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

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

9. EL uso de celulares está prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de

haber una necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.

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

en el salón de clases.

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 intrínsecamente

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.

EDUC 323 Literature for Children 12

Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07

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

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 Dual-Language

Discipline-Based 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

EDUC 323 Literature for Children 19

Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07

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.

4. 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.

5.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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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)

9. 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

EDUC 323 Literature for Children 20

Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07

workshop.

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

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

11. 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.

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

not allowed to the classrooms.

13. 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

EDUC 323 Literature for Children 21

Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07

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.

THE ESSAY An essay is a literary composition that presents the writer’s ideas about a specific topic. The basic steps for writing an essay are:

• Thinking on the topic to be developed-If the theme is implied in the topic, it should be

read pointing out the key words. A good example about this process is making a good exercise comparing, contrasting, summarizing, explaining and/or relating the ideas to be sure there are no repetitions. The writer should guarantee the reader a good and clear message.

• Making an outline of the principal ideas-The ideas in mind should be specifically related with the main topic.

• It’s very important to incorporate an introductory paragraph which should be a general view of the topic.

• Writing ideas with specific details that will support them-Details will

support the main topic and at the end may help in the production of a good and relevant conclusion.

• Using transitional words will help to connect ideas from one paragraph to another and will help the reader to follow the flow of ideas in the essay.

• Reviewing the written document for grammar and spelling is a must. • Editing the document-corrections should be made through the whole

document.
