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 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 de taller deberá ser entregada en la fecha

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

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

opciones:

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

la nota existente.



• 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.

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 modulo 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 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.

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.

Evaluation

Students in this course will be evaluated as follows:

Criteria % Attendance and punctuality 10% Class Participation 20% Course Portfolio Weekly assignments Daily journal One minute paper

50% 30% 10% 10%

Final project Written paper

20%

NOTE: The rubrics to be used for these evaluations are included at the end of the module.

1. Attendance and punctuality: Attendance is mandatory, and being punctual reflects a

professional ethic. The facilitator will register the student’s performance for both in

every workshop, and at the end of the course. The facilitator will evaluate each

student with the rubric in Appendix A.

2. Class participation and contribution: All students are expected to attend class

prepared to discuss workshop topics (readings, assigned questions, study cases, etc.),

and to actively participate in class. The Facilitator will evaluate the student’s overall

class participation, at the end of the course. They will use Appendix A; taking into

consideration the degree of participation, if it shows the student’s degree of



preparation for class, and how much this participation contributed to the class’

development.

3. Course portfolio: Each student must prepare a course portfolio, where he/she will

reflect on course topics and development. It is important that all students work on their

portfolio; beginning the first week of class, and keeping it up-to-date. They should also

bring it to class for discussion and Facilitator review. The Portfolio will be evaluated by

the Facilitator, and it should include the following sections:

a. Weekly Assignments: Every student must include in the portfolio a copy of

the assignments required throughout this module. Every student must bring

all written assignments to class. The Facilitator will return the assignments in

the next class, so that the student may revise, correct or improve these

assignments, based on Facilitator’s comments and what was learned in class

Assignments must be prepared in the language of the workshop.

b. Daily Journal (Appendix B) and One-minute paper (Appendix C): The

student will self-assess his/her participation through the Daily Journal and One-

minute paper. The student will complete and turn it in to the Facilitator at the

end of the workshop. One-minute paper should be answer in the workshop

language.

The Course Portfolio should be turned in the last week of class. However, the students

should begin preparing the portfolio, as the course develops; to avoid accumulating work

unnecessarily. The appearance of the portfolio is important; it must be well organized

and professionally prepared. It must include all of the sections explained above, with

appropriate labeling. Use Courier New, Size 12, whenever possible. The Facilitator

using rubric in Appendix D will evaluate the portfolios. It should include the following

parts:

a. Front Cover APA style (Appendix E)

b. Table of Content or Index

c. Introduction

d. Division in Eight workshops. Each division should include the following parts:

i. Assignments and/or special work with the corrections suggested

by the facilitator.

ii. Daily Journal



iii. One minute paper

iv. Appendixes (additional material that you have used or that the

Facilitator handles in class).

e. Conclusion

f. Bibliography APA style

4. Final Essay: The students would write an essay on Personal Learning Experience

in English using Appendix K. The Facilitator will grade it using Appendix I; it has a

value of 20% of the course.



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

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:



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.

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.

APA BOOT CAMP Carmen L. Lamboy, Ed.D.

Differences between APA and MOC/SFC Manuals

• Students will find differences between what the university asks for and the APA manual. Please refer to LRC or the Manual for APA.

• Masters students should follow their module and MOC/SFC APA Manual as well. TYPING INSTRUCTIONS

• All margins are 1 inch, no more-no less. Your page header is printed at the 1 inch margin line, not above it.

• If using WORD, you will need to set FIVE margins: left margin, right margin, top margin, bottom margin, and header margin

• Avoid leaving a single line at the bottom of a page (i.e., first line of a paragraph begins at the bottom of a page and then carries over to the next page--called a widow).

• Avoid leaving a single line at the top of a page (i.e., last line of a paragraph is carried over to the next page--called an orphan).

• In WORD or in WordPerfect, go into format; paragraph; keep lines together; and set the widow/orphan protection.

• All writing is DOUBLE-SPACED, NOT single, or triple, simply DOUBLE-SPACED You will have NO exceptions to this rule, unless otherwise specified in your manual

• Use a Courier, Arial or New Times Roman 12 point font size. Use the same font size and font type throughout the paper.

• Be careful when typing the page header that it is the same font and same font size as the text. This must be set in most word processing programs.

Alignment • Do NOT justify the text. • Used aligned left. • Leave ragged edges on the right. Headings • Never use bold or Underline to provide any type of emphasis.

Page Numbers • Use numbers on the top-right of each page beginning with page 1 (Chapter 1) Citations


• Student should NOT have studies cited in their reference section UNLESS they are cited in the text of the paper. Just because they read an article does NOT mean it belongs in their reference section. Every study cited in the text of their paper MUST be referenced on their reference page.

• ALWAYS provide a citation for anyone

else's work they use in paraphrased or quoted

form to write paper. [p. 168]

• Examples

Rogers (1994) compared…..

or

In a recent study….(Rogers, 1994)

CITATIONS

A Comment – In text• Multi-author (three or more)…

– Always include all authors the first time you mention the article or book. Afterwards you are able to write et.al.

As mentioned in Torres, Figueroa & Grazzio (2005),

ghost don’t really exist.

As mentioned in Torres, et. al. (2005), you can believe

in ghost if you have seen them. As mention in Torres, et. al.

ghosts are only perceptions of your imagination.


Reference Citation in text – Web Page • Web documents usually don't have page numbers or any kind of section

numbering. If your web page lacks numbering, omit numbers from your parenthetical references. If page, section, or paragraph numbering is embedded within the web page, cite the relevant number(s). Page numbers generated by a printout should not be cited, since these numbers will vary in different print-outs.

• Web documents usually don't have page numbers or any kind of section numbering. If your web page lacks numbering, omit numbers from your parenthetical references. If page, section, or paragraph numbering is embedded within the web page, cite the relevant number(s). Page numbers generated by a printout should not be cited, since these numbers will vary in different print-outs.

• If your source lacks an author, cite the first word(s) of the title. Generally, web authors place a title at the top of the actual web page. If no title is there, use the title of the window as it opens in your web browser.

• If no date is given, place "n.d." after the author’s name. To avoid Plagiarism go to the following websites:

– http://info.wlu.edu/Tutorials/review/reviewI.htm – http://jerz.setonhill.edu/writing/academic/sources/integrating.htm – http://www.lib.duke.edu/libguide/plagiarism2.htm – http://www.indiana.edu/%7Eistd/examples.html

Where citations should come from? • Citations should come from multiple sources. That is, they may NOT have all of

their references from the same journal. • Rule of thumb – One page per every citation used. • Citations should come from research, scholarly, or peer reviewed journals and/or

documents. They need to be from refereed professional sources. • Allow usage of Time or Newsweek, for example, only for quotations that

dramatize the student’s case or provide emphasis of its importance. General Guidelines • Paragraphs should be more than two sentences. Therefore, avoid one or two

sentence paragraphs. Avoid overly long paragraphs, greater than seven sentences. Thus, your paragraphs should range in size from three to seven sentences.

GENERAL INFORMATION- Masters Level • Writing of the research proposal, with the exception of the literature review, in

FUTURE TENSE. • Writing is FORMAL and TECHNICAL. FEELING words are not used. You must

NOT write the way in which you carry on a conversation


• Writing of the literature review is

in PAST TENSE. The reason for

this past tense is that they are

reporting what others did or what

they found.

• Contractions are NOT used.

GENERAL INFORMATION-Masters Level

• Avoid first person pronouns, I or we… • Wrong: This researcher found that nine of ten cooks like to eat. • Right: Nine out of ten cooks like to eat. • I found that math scores were above the national mean. • The math scores were above the national mean. TABLES & FIGURES • Never use colors, bold or fill effects in your tables or figures. • Use only simple patterns. • All tables should be double-spaced

ANEJO O/APPENDIX O NOTE TAKING SYSTEMS

5 Methods

• The Cornell Method • The Outline Method • The Mapping Method • The Charting Method • The Sentence Method

The Cornell Method

The Cornell method provides a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes without laborious recopying. After writing the notes in the main space, use the left-hand space to label each idea and detail with a key word or "cue." Method - Rule your paper with a 2 ½ inch margin on the left leaving a six-inch area on the right in which to make notes. During class, take down information in the six-inch area. When the instructor moves to a new point, skip a few lines. After class, complete phrases and sentences as much as possible. For every significant bit of information, write a cue in the left margin. To review, cover your notes with a card, leaving the cues exposed. Say the cue out loud, and then say as much as you can of the material underneath the card. When you have said as much as you can, move the card and see if what you said matches what is written. If you can say it, you know it. Advantages - Organized and systematic for recording and reviewing notes. Easy format for pulling out major concept and ideas. Simple and efficient. Saves time and effort. "Do-it-right-in-the-first-place system." Disadvantages - None When to Use - In any lecture situation.

The Outlining Method

Dash or indented outlining is usually best except for some science classes such as physics or math. 1. The information which is most general begins at the left with each more specific

group of facts indented with spaces to the right. 2. The relationships between the different parts are carried out through indenting. 3. No numbers, letters, or Roman numerals are needs. Method – Listening and then write in points in an organized pattern based on space indention. Place major points farthest to the left. Indent each more specific point to the right. Levels of importance will be indicated by distance away from the major point.


Indention can be as simple as or as complex as labeling the indentations with Roman numerals or decimals. Markings are not necessary as space relationships will indicate the major/minor points. Advantages – Well-organized system if done right. Outlining records content as well as relationships. It also reduces editing and is easy to review by turning main points into questions. Disadvantages – Requires more thought in class for accurate organization. This system may not show relationships by sequence when needed. It doesn’t lend to diversity of a review attach for maximum learning and question application. This system cannot be used if the lecture is too fast. When to Use – The outline format can be used if the lecture is presented in outline organization. This may be either deductive (regular outline) or inductive (reverse outline where minor points start building to a major point). Use this format when there is enough time in the lecture to think about and make organization decisions when they are needed. This format can be most effective when your note taking skills are super and sharp and you can handle the outlining regardless of the note taking situation. Example –

Extrasensory perception _ Definition: means of perceiving without use of sense organs.

_three kinds – _telepathy: sending messages _clairvoyance: forecasting the future _psychokinesis: perceiving events external to situation

_current status – _no current research to support or refute _few psychologists say impossible

The Mapping Method

Mapping is a method that uses comprehension/concentration skills and evolves in a note taking form which relates each fact or idea to every other fact or idea. Mapping is a graphic representation of the content of a lecture. It is a method that maximizes active participation, affords immediate knowledge as to its understanding, and emphasizes critical thinking. Advantages – This format helps you to visually track your lecture regardless of conditions. Little thinking is needed and relationships can easily be seen. It is also easy to edit your notes by adding numbers, marks, and color coding. Review will call for you to restructure thought processes which will force you to check understanding. Review by covering lines for memory drill and relationships. Main points can be written on flash or note cards and pieced together into a table or larger structure at a later date.


Disadvantages – You may not hear changes in content from major points to facts. When to Use – Use when the lecture content is heavy and well-organized. May also be used effectively when you have a guest lecturer and have no idea how the lecture is going to be presented. Example –

The Charting Method

If the lecture format is distinct (such as chronological), you may set up your paper by drawing columns and labeling appropriate headings in a table. Method – Determine the categories to be covered in lecture. Set up your paper in advance by columns headed by these categories. As you listen to the lecture, record information (words, phrases, main ideas, etc.) into the appropriate category. Advantages – Helps you track conversation and dialogues where you would normally be confused and lose out on relevant content. Reduces amount of writing necessary. Provides easy review mechanism for both memorization of facts and study of comparisons and relationships. Disadvantages – Few disadvantages except learning how to use the system and locating the appropriate categories. You must be able to understand what’s happening in the lecture. When to Use – Test will focus on both facts and relationships. Content is heavy and presented fast. You want to reduce the amount of time you spend editing and reviewing at test time. You want to get an overview of the whole course on one big paper sequence.


Example – Chart format for a history class:

The Sentence Method

Method – Write every new thought, fact or topic on a separate line, numbering as you progress. Advantages – Slightly more organized than the paragraph, gets more or all of the information. Thinking to tract content is still limited. Disadvantages – Can’t determine major/minor points from the numbered sequence. Difficult to edit without having to rewrite by clustering points which are related. Difficult to review unless editing cleans up relationship. When to Use – Use when the lecture is somewhat organized, but heavy with content which comes fast. You can hear the different points, but you don’t know how they fit together. The instructor tends to present in point fashion, but not in grouping such as “three related points.” Example 1 –

A revolution is any occurrence that affects other aspects of life, such as economic life, social life, and so forth. Therefore revolutions cause change. (See page 29-30 in your text about this.) • Sample Notes – Revolution – occurrence that affects other aspects of life:

e.g., econ., socl. Etc. C.f. text, pp. 29-30

Example 2 – Melville did not try to represent life as it really was. The language of Ahab, Starbuck, and Ishmael, for instance, was not that of real life. • Sample Notes – Mel didn’t repr. Life as was; e.g. lang. Of Ahab, etc. no of

real life. Example 3 –

At first, Freud tried conventional, physical methods of treatment such as giving baths, massages, rest cures, and similar aids. But when these failed he tried techniques of hypnosis that he had seen used by Jean-Martin Charcot. Finally, he borrowed an idea from Jean Breuer and used direct verbal communication to get an un-hypnotized patient to reveal unconscious thoughts. • Sample Notes – Freud 1st – used phys. trtment; e.g., baths, etc. This fld.

2nd – used hypnosis (fr. Charcot) Finally – used vrb. commun. (fr. Breuer) – got unhpynop, patnt to reveal uncons. thoughts.
