Evaluación, mapas conceptuales y ego académico en la enseñanza bilingüe en Educación Primaria

Abstract

Although bilingual programmes were implemented in Spain a few years ago, a recent report on these English-Spanish programmes points out that they can still be improved (Dobson, Pérez y Johnstone, 2010). To improve these programmes, we aim to present a proposal based on the use of concept maps for the formative and summative assessment in content and language integrated learning (CLIL) developed in non-linguistic disciplines (DNL). Since evaluation constitutes a method of necessary feedback for teachers and students, the method instructors use to measure students’ knowledge will impact the students’ school performance. Feedback will also help learners to recall previously learned information. (Hoffmann, 2003). Consequently, this paper is presented as a brief bibliographic review to make DNL teachers reflect on the way summative exam design impacts the students’ academic ego during evaluation.
