2. General Activity Description of the Practical Component.

Scenarios of the practical component: In situ (practice)

Activity type: Collaborative
Activity number: 4
Highest score of the activity: 90 points
The activity starts on: Friday, November The activity ends on: Tuesday,
15, 2024 November 26, 2024
The resources required for the development of this activity are the
following:
- Virtual Campus, for checking the bibliographic resources suggested for Unit 1, 2 and
3.
- Pedagogical Practice Scenario.
- Research Objectives
- UNAD Virtual Library
- Practice Forms.
- Development of the Previous Step of the Course.

The activity consists of:

Bear in mind this is a METHODOLOGICAL course which means that the course is
comprised by both, the Theoretical and the Practical components. In the activity

1
guide you will find information for the development of both of the components of the
course. Remember that developing both is mandatory.

For the development of the Theoretical part of this step of the course, you will have
to: Develop the Simulated Scenario, and the Research Assistant providing all the
needed support.

To be able to develop this task completely, follow these instructions:

1. Organize the final document of the Teacher Research Exercise you have been
developing during the course.
Include all the steps developed: Title, Research Question, Objectives, Literature
Review (Do not include the matrix), Methodology description, Data Collection
Tools, Data Analysis, Discussion and Conclusions, and References.

2. Develop the Simulated Scenario Practice Activity. You will find it in the Learning
Environment in the space called “Research to foster students’ motivation
towards the learning of English”

-Explore the Simulation Details, here you will find the instructions for the
resource exploration process. More importantly, you will find the Problem
Situation you are expected to solve in the Simulated Scenario. (Record the
evidence of the development of this process)
- Explore the Resource Contents, here you will find relevant information that
will help you answer all the requests for the simulation development. (Record
the evidence of the development of this process)
- Explore the Simulation Toolbox, here you will find different and useful support
resources to support each justification expected from you in each of the steps
of the simulation development. (Record the evidence of the development of this
process)
-Proceed to Develop the Simulation. Use all the information gathered during
the exploration process and give supported, clear, and complete answers to
each situation presented in the simulation. Each Justification must have a
minimum of 300 words, containing citations and support information from all
the resources available for its development.

3. Develop the Research Assistant available in the Simulated Scenario. To develop

this, you must use the Research experience you applied during this academic
term in the Research Pedagogical Practice course.

2
 4. Generate both documents in PDF form, the Simulation Report, and the
Research Assistant report, and upload them in the e-portfolio as indicated in
the instructions for the usage of the e-portfolio. Be aware that these documents
must be the ones generated from the Simulation directly, not screenshots.

5. Organize the final document for the delivery of the task. This final document
must include the whole research process as indicated in Step 1 of this activity
guide, as well as the evidence of the development of each of the instructions
for the development of the simulated scenario. This is the document to deliver
in the evaluation environment using APA style.

6. Check that all your documents are complete and clear, and follow the
instructions given for their delivery in the e-portfolio.

For the development of the practical component consider that:

In the Initial Information Environment, you must:

Check the Course Agenda to organize your time. Check the Course News for
important information. Verify your tutors’ synchronous support via Teams. Check and
organize your time and, attend the Web conferences of the course or check the
recordings of them looking for further information about the course.

In the Learning Environment, you must:

Read all the contents of Unit 3, download the required documents for the
organization of the traceability of the Pedagogical Practice, and participate in the
collaborative forum with the suggested information in the activity guide.

In the Evaluation Environment, you must:

Upload a final Word document in the space called Step 4 – Practical Component –
Educational and Pedagogical Practice Name the document as: 518019 – Step 4 –
Your Name.
