    El desarrollo de la comprensión lectora en inglés a través del método de aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP) en estudiantes de pregrado en CECAR, Sincelejo
    (Universidad de Córdoba, 2022-03-10) Hincapié Yánez, Fabián Emilio; Muñoz Oviedo, Miguel Alcides; Valle Zapata, Liliana
    El desarrollo de la comprensión lectora ha sido un campo de estudio muy popular en la última década y recientes investigaciones a nivel nacional e internacional han mostrado la importancia de esta habilidad en el aprendizaje de un nuevo idioma y cuán relevante es la implementación de nuevas estrategias en dicho proceso (Calderón y Quijano, 2010; D’vera, 2017; Kavlu, 2016). Por tal motivo, el propósito del presente estudio fue determinar en qué medida la implementación del Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) influye en el desarrollo de la comprensión lectora en inglés de los estudiantes de pregrado en CECAR, en Sincelejo, Colombia. El proyecto siguió un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo cuasiexperimental, acompañado del diseño de 4 grupos de Solomon. Los participantes para el estudio fueron 4 grupos de estudiantes de pregrado que tomaban el curso de inglés 3 correspondiente al nivel A2 según el Marco Común Europeo. Los participantes fueron divididos en 2 grupos experimentales y 2 grupos control siguiendo lo establecido por el diseño Solomon. Como instrumentos para la recolección de datos se aplicó un pre-test y un posttest, cuyos resultados fueron analizados a través de la técnica de Análisis de Varianza (ANOVA). Estos mostraron que no hubo un desarrollo significativo en la comprensión lectora de los estudiantes en el pre-test y post-test luego de la aplicación de ABP, sin embargo, los participantes parecían estar satisfechos con las lecciones y motivados en aprender Inglés.

    Influence of an EFL outreach program on student-teachers empowerment and professional competencies: an exploratory case study
    (2022-11-16) Martínez Espitia, Jasir; Valle Zapata, Liliana
    A concern about the contributions of an EFL Outreach Program to the participants´ lives arose among its proponents and stakeholders. Even though they recognize the linguistic influence of the Program on children, there isn´t any systematic study yet that delve into the contributions of the Program to student-teachers’ development and empowerment. This study aims to explore how an EFL Outreach Program contributes to student teachers’ professional development, specifically to their technical-pedagogical field, and how during its implementation, the Program brought about teacher empowerment. Through this qualitative study I intend to answer the questions: How does the “Bilingualism for Peace” program contribute to student teachers’ technical-pedagogical field? And, how does the “Bilingualism for Peace” program bring about teacher empowerment during the implementation process? Data was collected through a semi-structured interview, questionnaire, observations, and lesson plans reviews. Such data was analyzed carrying out a thematic analysis. Findings suggests that the outreach program contributes to improve the students-teachers’ development of pedagogical competences while conducting the teaching/learning process. The participation in the program also helped them to make decisions, improve their teaching abilities to promote learning, increase their autonomy, among others. This study raises awareness on the contributions of bilingualism outreach programs on the pedagogical education offered by undergraduate programs and the improvements a Program like this could make to give potential to these types of outreach programs as appropriate contexts to carry out undergraduate students’ practicum. RESUMEN Surgió una preocupación entre sus proponentes y partes interesadas acerca de las contribuciones de un Programa de Extensión de ILE a la vida de los participantes. Si bien reconocen la influencia lingüística del Programa en los niños beneficiados, aún existe la necesidad de profundizar en los aportes del Programa al desarrollo y empoderamiento de los estudiantes-docentes. Este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar cómo un Programa de Extensión de ILE contribuye al desarrollo profesional de los estudiantes-docentes, específicamente en su campo técnico-pedagógico, y cómo durante su implementación, el Programa generó empoderamiento docente. A través de este estudio cualitativo pretendo responder a las preguntas: ¿Cómo contribuye el programa “Bilingüismo para la Paz” al campo técnico-pedagógico de los estudiantes-docentes? Y, ¿cómo el programa “Bilingüismo para la Paz” logra el empoderamiento de los docentes durante el proceso de implementación? Los datos se recopilaron a través de una entrevista semiestructurada, un cuestionario, observaciones y revisiones de planes de clases. Dichos datos fueron analizados realizando un análisis temático. Los hallazgos sugieren que el programa de extensión contribuye a mejorar el desarrollo de las competencias pedagógicas de los estudiantes-docentes al desarrollar el proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje. La participación en el programa también les ayudó a tomar decisiones, mejorar sus habilidades docentes para promover el aprendizaje, aumentar su autonomía, entre otros. Este estudio da a conocer los aportes de los programas de extensión del bilingüismo en la formación pedagógica que ofrecen los programas de pregrado. También informa sobre las mejoras que un Programa como este podría tener para potencializar este tipo de programas de extensión como contextos apropiados para llevar a cabo la práctica pedagógica de los estudiantes de pregrado.

    (2020-06-09) Vergara Álvarez, Luisa Fernanda; Valle Zapata, Liliana
    The University of Córdoba offers the internship program as a selectable choice for students to attain a professional degree. Córdoba Transformada is a macro project elaborated by the university to create a positive impact in the Department of Córdoba. There are micro projects such as “Mis primeros pasos” and “Speakers” that are a part of the macro project. The latter project was the context in which the internship process was going to take place. However, the global pandemic prevented a traditional internship to be carried out, which limited interns to lesson planning.

    The need for opportunities that enhance the leadership capacities of both staff and students is well recognized within educational communities. To address this, it is crucial not only to acknowledge the necessity but also to take active steps, such as implementing courses that support the management skills of both managers and teachers. This article presents a development plan aimed at fostering leadership capabilities in students, both individually and in teams, over the short and medium term. The plan is backed by research, including studies by Daft (2008), which highlight the importance of group dynamics. Consequently, the plan prepares teachers and students for transformational leadership roles, integrating these skills throughout their educational journey. This initiative aims to define strategies that maximize the potential for success and leadership in educational contexts.

    The use of a multisensory approach to promote reading in english in a child with dyslexia
    (Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-09-04) Mass Villadiego, Marlys Yaneth; Valle Zapata, Liliana; Romero, Yanilis; Lorduy, Danilsa
    Dyslexia has become a frequent condition that teachers face in classroom settings. However, in public schools, it seems to be more difficult because of the lack of teacher training. As a consequence, some teachers struggle every day in mainstream schools with dyslexic students without the appropriate knowledge to teach them. In this sense, this study describes how teachers deal with this disability when teaching reading in English. The main objective of this qualitative study is to explore how an English teacher accommodates his/her teaching of reading in English to a child with dyslexia, and how multisensory activities could facilitate that process. This case study sample is a sixteen-year-old student diagnosed with dyslexia and a secondary English teacher. Data was collected through observations, interviews, stimulated recalls, and multisensory activities over one scholarly term, this data was analyzed by carrying out a thematic analysis. Findings showed that the use of multisensory activities not only helped dyslexic students overcome difficulties in reading but also increased their motivation towards English classes. Also, the teacher’s role is pivotal when preparing and accommodating his classes taking into account the student’s needs by using multisensory activities. This study supports teachers providing them with the opportunity to explore the use of a multisensory approach for teaching reading in English to dyslexic students.
