I. General outline
The ELAB 3 course is the first opportunity for fourth-year students to design and implement
different learning experiences. Throughout the semester you are expected to make a minimum of 4
interventions out of which 2 will be observed by your tutor and two will be recorded by you as part of
your formative process, both instances need to be carefully planned and approved by your tutor and
guide teacher. By doing these activities, you will demonstrate that you have acquired the necessary
knowledge and developed the essential competencies to design meaningful learning experiences. In
order to do so, you must use the information you collected to describe the context of the school and the
class (Trepe 3), contemplating the needs, characteristics, and interests of the students as well as the
national curriculum. Finally, this activity requires you to consider both pedagogical and disciplinary
knowledge to inform your teaching practice.
IV. Dates
● Submission date of the interventions will vary depending on the dates agreed with your tutor
and guide teacher. However, the design of the activities and strategies to be used in the
intervention plus the theoretical justification must be submitted before the class observation
whereas the reflection must be submitted up to three days after the class observed.
V. Assessment
● Task weight: 60% (30% each)
● Hand in a printed and a digital copy of the task. The hard copy of the first part of the task
should be submitted in the pre-intervention meeting with your tutors. You can send the
reflection via email up to three days after the intervention. Late submissions will not be
received.
● If the student does not schedule the pre-intervention meeting at least a week before the
intervention, the tutor will not approve the design of the activities and the observation will not
take place; therefore the student will be assessed with the minimum mark 1.0.
● If the student fails to meet the tutor on the agreed date, the tutor will reschedule the meeting
only if it takes place 5 days before the intervention; otherwise, the observation will not take
place and the student will be assessed with the minimum mark 1.0.
● This task contemplates assessing 70% of content and 30% of language. Please, refer to the
instruments to be used.
VI. Considerations
● Plagiarism is a serious offense which will be dealt with severely. The first offense will be given
a 1.0. If a second offense occurs, course suspension and program expulsion may take place
(Reglamento académico Título VI, Art.21)
● Mind: academic writing, punctuation, APA (cover)
