(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2021-12-06) Bonilla Ocampo, Luisa Fernanda; García Monroy, Daniela Fernanda; González Mahecha, Miguel Angel; Cely Betancourt, Blanca Lucia
This project promotes the creation of new academic spaces where students can learn and share their knowledge with their peers. Indeed, this document compiles the experiences of each student (early childhood education and English bachelor) that had participated, and it gathers their work. CLAP (Collaborative Learning Among Peers) corresponds to a new academic space in which students from the bachelor’s in early childhood education developed activities that motivated them to learn English, improve their language skills, use their knowledge about children methodologies in English classes and the comfort to express themselves. The project developed the following methodologies as RPT (Reciprocal peer tutoring), EMI methodology, ICLHE (Integrating content and language in higher education) and Flipped learning (inverted classroom). Furthermore, the use of those methodologies favored a better relationship between the students. Also, you will find the description step by step about how a CLAP session was, how the creation of lesson plans was about, and the evidence that we collected from students of Early Childhood Education. Hence, the analysis that was getting after this experience comprises our educational learning through relevant learning.
“A Syllabus Proposal Based on Information and Communication Technology and the Process Approach for Teaching English Writing”.
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2021-06-03) Benavides Páez, Yury Mabel; Ortiz Vergara, Mariluz
The below qualitative research proposes a skill-based syllabus (Rahimpour2010) design to develop the writing skills and the learning of the writing process through the process approach and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tool to enhance writing skills and motivated students. The syllabus proposed was based on a need analysis done to students from the 4th to 9th semesters of the Bachelor Degree in English Language Teaching at Universidad Minuto de Dios to recognize the needs, perceptions, and weaknesses of the participants regarding writing skills. The needs, perceptions, and weaknesses were identified using 3 different data collection instruments. (Documents, questionnaires, and interviews) that allowed me to categorize the findings into three categories. Afterward, the categories and subcategories decoded in the needs analysis presented proofs of regular writing skills and low motivation during the writing courses. The pieces of evidence collected were the foundation for the syllabus design that had as result the creation of twelve sessions in which the writing skills and writing process are developing.

(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2020-12-04) Santana Mahecha, Ana María; Cely Betancourt, Blanca Lucía
La visión principal de este estudio se centra en analizar la relación actual entre la enseñanza de una lengua extranjera y la enseñanza de la competencia comunicativa intercultural. Este estudio busca investigar cómo los profesores de inglés como lengua extranjera promueven la Competencia Comunicativa Intercultural para desarrollar la conciencia, la aceptación y el respeto entre miembros de otras culturas y orígenes en el contexto de las olas migratorias actuales en Bogotá. Este es un xi estudio cualitativo, realizado con veinte profesores de tres contextos educativos diferentes: un colegio privado, un instituto de idiomas y un programa de licenciatura en inglés. Los instrumentos que se consideraron fueron observaciones de clase aplicadas al inicio del estudio, entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas durante el estudio y un grupo focal aplicado al final del estudio. El estudio mostró que, de hecho, los docentes y profesores implementaron actividades para promover la interculturalidad; sin embargo, la CCI se considera parte de las lenguas extranjeras, descuidando la diversidad cultural entre los miembros de la misma lengua materna, es decir la cultura propia. En consecuencia, la implementación de CCI no se ha promovido con éxito en las lecciones de inglés como lengua extranjera.

(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2020-12-04) Herrera Gómez, Daniel Andrés; Bernal Hernández, Andrea
This research was conducted analyzing the application and knowledge about citizenship competences in skills that facilitate conflict solving in an extracurricular conversation club, through role plays representations as a pedagogical strategy that allowed interaction, dialogue and use of the communicative competence in English as foreign language. The research problem was identified initially at practicum level, where students had rude and conflictive behaviors, thus generating the interest to research about ways to create awareness about coexistence, avoiding fights and conflicts, dialoguing and being tolerant with each other, bearing in mind that the researcher was not aware that conflicts in classrooms can occur frequently, and can affect class dynamics and coexistence. Said that, the research problem was located at personal level, in a sense in which pre-service teachers might not be aware about conflicts between students, and therefore not knowing strategies and skills to facilitate solving conflicts
La práctica reflexiva: una actividad que cambia el desempeño docente.
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2020-05-28) Fonseca Parra, Juan Camilo
Durante los últimos años se ha podido evidenciar que la relación entre lo que los docentes en formación y los docentes en servicio saben y lo que hacen en su práctica docente no tiene conexión alguna. Consecuentemente, este escrito resume, presenta y analiza alrededor de 20 investigaciones sobre prácticas reflexivas realizadas por docentes de inglés en formación y docentes de inglés en servicio en un contexto nacional e internacional de los últimos 20 años. Estos artículos de investigación han mostrado que la definición de la práctica reflexiva ha venido evolucionando, desde que fue mencionada por primera vez por Dewey en 1933, cuando era un concepto que solo invitaba a reflexionar en la práctica, hasta los últimos años, donde se ha venido enfocando en cada rama del conocimiento. También se puede afirmar que, de las actividades que los docentes usan para reflexionar en Europa, los portafolios son los más comunes; mientras que en Latinoamérica el uso de diarios de campo es lo más frecuente. Finalmente, la idea a la que se llegó después de leer estos artículos es que el desempeño docente de los maestros en formación y en servicio se ha mejorado después de haber aplicado este importante proceso.

(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2020-06-03) Moreno Riaño, Kinberlyn; Quintero Torres, Paula Andrea
La idea de aprender historia en el ambiente educativo sigue siendo una tarea de baja motivación basada en una encuesta realizada en la Universidad Minuto de Dios a 15 estudiantes del grupo de investigación RAVEN (radio voices in English) que está compuesto por estudiantes de Licenciatura en Idioma Extranjero Inglés y Comunicación Social- Periodismo. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una revisión crítica de la literatura que se han desarrollado en la última década, para saber qué se ha investigado sobre este tema en términos del uso de canciones para enseñar materias de contenido tales como historia y métodos innovadores. Diferentes canciones anglófonas han sido una parte importante a lo largo de la historia de la segunda mitad del siglo XX que va desde 1951 hasta 2000, desde que la música se ha utilizado a través de los años para facilitar el proceso de aprendizaje. El método utilizado fue el criterio de inclusión y exclusión que se basa en establecer los límites para la revisión sistemática, en este caso, la selección de estudios que resaltan la importancia de la instrucción basada en el contenido y la pedagogía crítica. Este artículo también realiza comparaciones entre las nuevas técnicas de enseñanza.

(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2019-05-22) Ramirez Ramirez, Cristian David; Marin Ceron, Diego
This project was aimed at developing ‘The Peace Lecture’ (Decree 1038 of 2015) in an English class of Las Villas Public School. To do so, the researcher designed a didactic unit to promote the development of conflict resolution skills in five English lessons. The activities of the didactic unit sought to influence the students’ attitudes toward conflict resolution while reinforcing their communicative competence. The impact of those activities was explored through reflections the participants wrote at the end of every lesson. Regarding the type of study chosen, this research was based on a mixed paradigm with an action research approach. The data analysis showed that students tended to have attitudes in favor of peaceful coexistence. Therefore, it can be assumed that the participants developed new compromising attitudes or reinforced previous ones after carrying out the activities of the didactic unit. In other words, students probably became more aware of the existence of alternative responses to everyday conflicts.

(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2018-11-30) Cantillo Hurtado, Eliana Del Carmen; Benavides Hernández, Natalia Andrea; Mogollón Méndez, Luisa Fernanda; Ortiz Vergara, Mariluz; Benito Duran, José Alexander
El presente proyecto de enfoque cualitativo propone un Syllabus basado en competencias (Daniels, 2002), diseñado para el desarrollo de habilidades del pensamiento crítico a través de un círculo literario. Para llevar a cabo la propuesta de Syllabus, está fue basada en un análisis de necesidades (Johns, 1991) aplicada a estudiantes del programa de Licenciatura en Idioma Extranjero Inglés en la Universidad Minuto De Dios, con el fin de identificar sus dificultades y falencias en términos de pensamiento crítico. Lo anterior fue recolectado a través de entrevistas, cuestionarios y observaciones, lo cual nos permitió organizar los resultados en tres categorías principales. Posteriormente, las categorías y subcategorías descritas en el análisis de necesidades arrojaron el reiterado uso de habilidades simples del pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes de séptimo a noveno semestre de la Licenciatura y también los potenciales beneficios de una actividad extracurricular como es el caso de un círculo literario. Las evidencias recolectadas fueron la base para el diseño del Syllabus, a través de la creación de catorce sesiones, en las cuales las habilidades que componen el pensamiento crítico fueron desarrolladas en un proceso de andamiaje donde una habilidad procede de la otra para su apropiado desarrollo (Numrich, 2010).
