Evaluación diagnóstica. Ciclo escolar 2023 – 2024

Educación Secundaria. Disciplina Inglés. Tercer Grado
La evaluación diagnóstica
La evaluación diagnóstica es un proceso sistemático y riguroso que se hace al inicio de un año escolar, un tema o un periodo
académico. Busca dos objetivos: primero, entender en qué estado están los estudiantes al comienzo del año, el tema o el periodo; y
segundo, tomar decisiones que faciliten y mejoren el aprendizaje durante el desarrollo del proceso educativo.

La siguiente evaluación diagnóstica va dirigida para los alumnos de tercer grado de secundaria. Cada estudiante tiene una
historia académica diferente, pero en su mayoría, son alumnos que no han tenido contacto con clases de inglés en educación
primaria. A pesar de lo anterior, existe la posibilidad de que indirectamente el alumno esté expuesto al uso del idioma dentro de su
contexto.

El contenido de la evaluación diagnóstica se adhiere al inmediato ciclo escolar anterior, utilizando los contenidos expuestos en el
programa 2017 Aprendizajes Clave y evaluando las 4 macro habilidades del alumno: escuchar, escribir, leer y hablar.

En caso de que el docente requiera realizar alguna modificación en esta evaluación podrá realizarla ya que solo él o ella saben el
contexto en el que se desarrollan sus alumnos.

Es importante recordar que la evaluación diagnóstica nos dará un punto de partida para trabajar con nuestros alumnos y ayudarles a
adquirir los conocimientos necesarios que serán útiles para los trimestres posteriores, al igual que los ciclos escolares.

Al desarrollar el examen de diagnóstico, es importante que conozcamos la finalidad de cada tipo de pregunta o reactivo, por lo
anterior, me permito explicar que existen diferentes tipos de preguntas que será descritas a continuación.

Tipo de pregunta Preguntas de opción múltiple

El alumno debe elegir una respuesta entre varias alternativas posibles. Se puede utilizar para medir

- Este tipo de ítem ha recibido fuertes críticas por parte de expertos en evaluación, sobre todo
en el sentido de que los estudiantes pueden responderlos al azar ya que en cada elección
tienen el 50 % de posibilidades de acertar. En algunos contextos, especialmente en la
evaluación de matemáticas u otras disciplinas no lingüísticas, se suele paliar el factor azar con
penalizaciones de distinto tipo.

Read the following text about child marriage in Nepal, decide if statements 1 to 6 are true or false.

Child marriage in Nepal

Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still has one of the
highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of 18.

Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the wealthiest families marry 2 years
later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who drop out of school and earn little
money.

Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough food to eat are more likely to
marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden. One study shows that 91% of people who had
secure access to food married over the age of 19.

Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the
money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older.

Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the
Nepalese Country Code.

The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up to 10,000
rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied.

There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear government commitment to ending
child marriage and civil society cooperation.

La Ticherina: Apoyo a docentes frente a grupo

The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child
marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal.

However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has
been delayed.

True False
The age of marriage in Nepal depends on the money the families have.
Families want to marry their daughters soon to earn money.
According to the law, people aren't allowed to marry until they are 18.
Parents who marry their children before the allowed age normally pay a fine.
The government is not doing much to put an end to child marriage.
The recent earthquake was negative for the eradication of child marriage
