dc.description.abstractEsta investigación tuvo como objetivo documentar el impacto que el uso de las estrategias de evaluación alternativa tienen en los estudiantes de inglés como lengua extranjera de una institución privada en Bogotá. El estudio se llevó a cabo en el Centro Colombo Americano (sede centro) e incluyó como participantes a 16 estudiantes del programa intensivo de adultos en los niveles B1. Con el propósito de obtener las percepciones de los estudiantes con respecto a sus experiencias de aprendizaje de inglés como lengua extranjera que estuvieran directamente relacionadas con el uso de estrategias evaluativas, los instrumentos de recolección de datos aplicados fueron entrevistas, encuestas y documentos. Posteriormente, la información obtenida fue analizada con la teoría fundamentada que hizo posible el proceso de categorización. Las categorías de análisis se establecieron haciendo conexiones entre la información recogida en campo, los constructos teóricos, la pregunta y los objetivos de investigación. Con base en lo anterior, el análisis de datos reveló que las estrategias de evaluación moldean e influencian las percepciones de los estudiantes dado que ellos se vuelven conscientes de las diferencias entre los conceptos de “exámen” y “evaluación” y de cómo éstas generan un impacto que puede ser positivo o negativo en ellos. Además, los estudiantes mencionaron que las estrategias alternativas de evaluación van más allá de la enseñanza porque buscan diferentes maneras de reconocer la individualidad y de desarrollar habilidades para la vida. Finalmente, los resultados mostraron que los aspectos externos al aprendizaje como el uso de estas estrategias, pueden ayudar a los estudiantes a reducir el filtro afectivo y a sentirse más dispuestos y hábiles para aprender.spa
dc.description.abstractenglishThis research study aimed at documenting the impact that the use of alternative assessment strategies has on English as a foreign language (EFL) students at a private institution in Bogota. This research was carried out at Centro Colombo Americano (CCA downtown branch) and included 16 students who were part of the Adult English Program from B1 levels. With the purpose of looking for students’ perceptions towards EFL learning experiences and directly relating them to assessment methods, the data collection instruments used included surveys, interviews, and documents. Subsequently, data gathered was analyzed through the use of the grounded approach which made the categorization process possible. Categories of the study were established by making connections among the data found in the field, the theoretical constructs from the literature review, and the research question and objectives. Based on this, the data analysis revealed that assessment practices shape and influence students’ EFL perceptions because they become aware of the fact that alternative assessment practices differ from testing and how these have a positive or negative impact on them. Moreover, learners also mentioned that alternative assessment goes beyond EFL learning since they look for different ways to recognize their individuality and to develop lifelong skills in learners. Finally, findings showed that external factors such as the use of alternative assessment practices help students to reduce their affective filter allowing them to feel willing and able to learn because of the conditions which surround them.eng
