REGLAMENTO
1. El Colegio de Educación Media Superior Abierta tiene reconocimiento de validez oficial
de estudios (RVOE) de la Secretaría de Educación del Gobierno del Estado (SEGE).
Acuerdo B0170, clave de centro de trabajo 24PBH0125
2. El plan de estudios es de la Dirección General de Bachillerato (DGB) y es válido en todo
el país. Consta de tres módulos: Módulo Básico (31 asignaturas), Módulo
Propedéutico (8 asignaturas) y Módulo de Formación para el Trabajo (1
especialidad).
3. El estudiante puede presentar exámenes por materia agrupando asignaturas seriadas
excepto matemáticas quedando de la siguiente manera: Modulo Básico (20 materias),
Módulo Propedéutico (4 materias) y Módulo de Formación para el Trabajo (1
especialidad)
4. Al concluir sus estudios se entrega un certificado de Bachillerato General, válido para
cualquier carrera en cualquier Institución de educación superior en todo el país.
5. Se reconocen los estudios parciales realizados en cualquier institución de
educación media superior presentando un certificado parcial legalizado de la escuela
de procedencia, se tramita una equivalencia de estudios ante Secretaría de Educación y
continúa con las asignaturas que le faltan para concluir sus estudios de Bachillerato.
6. La inscripción ante la Secretaría de Educación es Bimestral y se pueden reportar
máximo 8 asignaturas por bimestreposterior al bimestre de inscripción. La
inscripción y la presentación de exámenes en el Colegio es permanente.
7. Los requisitos para la inscripción en Secretaría de Educación: Certificado de
Secundaria, original, Acta de Nacimiento original, copia del CURP y Certificado
Parcial legalizado en caso de haber cursado estudios de bachillerato inconclusos.
No existe límite de edad para el ingreso.
8. El estudiante puede consultar sus calificaciones y obtener sus libros digitales gratuitos
en la página web del Colegio. Puede solicitar Constancias de Estudio (IMSS, Beca
Oportunidades o trámites de estudios superiores), Credencial (boletur, descuentos en
pasajes foráneos, museos)
9. Por ser un modelo no escolarizado el tiempo de término de estudios del bachillerato
depende del ritmo de estudio del alumno, sin embargo se pueden determinar los
siguientes periodos:
1 examen por semana 10 meses
1 examen por quincena 20 meses (1 año y medio)
1 examen por mes 40 meses (3 años 4 meses)
Estos tiempos pueden disminuir si el alumno tiene estudios parciales previos.
[3]
10. El estudiante que no presente examen en tres meses consecutivos será dado de
baja en la Secretaría de Educación. Para continuar sus estudios deberá solicitar un
certificado parcial de las asignaturas acreditadas e inscribirse nuevamente
ESTUDIO INDEPENDIENTE
Las características y habilidades para el estudio independiente no se reducen a un contexto
exclusivamente escolar. Esto quiere decir que la independencia se conforma a lo largo de la vida, es un
proceso donde el individuo se enfrenta a diversas situaciones que tiene que resolver en distintos ámbitos
como son el laboral o el familiar e incluso dentro de su comunidad, en los que influyen, por supuesto,
factores de carácter social y cultural.
Pero es la escuela, la entidad socialmente encargada de dotar de las destrezas o habilidades que le
permitan al sujeto, desarrollar de manera consciente métodos de aprendizaje, sobre todo si deseamos
que el postulado de la educación permanente, “aprender durante toda la vida”, realmente se cumpla.
El estudio independiente puede considerarse como un proceso dirigido hacia el autocontrol y la
autoevaluación y entenderse como una actividad orientada hacia la formación de habilidades que
permitan la construcción ininterrumpida de conocimiento y aprendizaje.
Existen muchos elementos para justificar la necesidad de fomentar el estudio independiente en los
sistemas de educación abierta o a distancia, el principal queremos encontrarlo en el hecho de que a
menos que el estudiante participe activamente en la adquisición de sus propios conocimientos estas
modalidades educativas como formadoras del estudiante, carecen de sentido. Si los objetivos de estos
sistemas no van solamente hacia la acumulación de conceptos, el estudio independiente debe ser una
parte indispensable del proceso formativo.
El estudio independiente tiene implícita la idea de que el aprendizaje requerido para un proceso formativo
puede ser incorporado no sólo en el salón de clases o bajo la tutela del maestro sino que el alumno tiene
la responsabilidad de trabajar de manera independiente y trascender lo que ha sido enseñado en el aula,
en las diferentes áreas y dimensiones del saber.
El estudio independiente lleva consigo la responsabilidad de la propia formación por parte del alumno y
esto es importante si consideramos que el sistema educativo ha estado renunciando al proceso formativo
y la creación de un aprendizaje colectivo es muy difícil en los sistemas de educación abierta, en donde la
posibilidad de interacción está limitada. No estamos hablando acerca de una nueva moda educativa.
Estamos hablando de una competencia humana básica, de la capacidad de aprender por uno mismo, que
de repente se ha convertido en un requisito previo en este mundo nuevo.
Las personas que toman la iniciativa en el auto aprendizaje, tienen más posibilidades de retener lo que
aprenden que el estudiante pasivo y esta iniciativa está más en sintonía con nuestros procesos naturales
de desarrollo psicológico, pero es importante añadir que la disposición para la autodirección de las
personas es variable, lo que exige diversos grados de asistencia por parte de la institución y de los
asesores, especialmente durante el desarrollo de las habilidades de estudio independiente.
Estamos hablando de un conjunto de acciones porque el estudiante pone en práctica algunas
herramientas cognoscitivas que ha venido consolidando a lo largo de su vida académica y otras que
experimenta para resolver problemas específicos, las cuales le facilitan y hacen más efectiva o
satisfactoria su labor de aprendizaje. Se trata de una labor consciente, y esta conciencia en el acto de
estudiar es un elemento fundamental que permite comprender y emprender acciones permanentes de
estudio independiente.
El estudio independiente necesita rescatar la noción de responsabilidad personal, entendida como el
hecho de que un individuo asuma la titularidad de sus pensamientos y acciones.
En conclusión el estudio independiente es el sistema de estudio que deposita en el alumno, la mayor
responsabilidad de su aprendizaje de acuerdo con sus posibilidades, características, vivencias y
[4]
necesidades, estimulándolo para que utilice al máximo sus propios recursos
conveniente y oportuno
conforme lo considere
La asesoría o tutoría es el sistema de estudio que se basa en el proceso de auto aprendizaje y el asesor
es un programador de experiencias didácticas y un orientador del proceso; esta modalidad de estudio no
implica la asistencia a clases.
10 SUGERENCIAS PARA ADMINISTRAR TU TIEMPO
1. ¡Mantente alerta! La mayoría de la pérdida de tiempo ocurre por distracciones.
Distracción es cuando tu atención está en otra cosa o en otra parte que no sea lo
importante que sucede a tu alrededor.
2. Cambia la rutina. Pregúntate: ¿Qué parte de mi rutina puedo cambiar o modificar
para que mi productividad aumente?
3. Mantente en movimiento. Entre más activo estés, más alerta te sentirás.
4. Usa “objetivos espontáneos”. Éstos son ideas dirigidas hacia un resultado
deseado que surge espontáneamente. Pregúntate: ¿Cuál es el resultado final de
esta actividad?
5. No realices muchas actividades simultáneamente. Trata de trabajar a la vez que
requiera concentración.
6. Líbrate del papeleo. Existen solamente tres opciones: basura, archivo o acción.
7. Utiliza tu tiempo libre en algo importante en qué ocuparte (archivar, organizar,
adelantar algo, estudiar, capacitarte…)
8. Sé claro y conciso. Cuando expliques algo a alguien, hazlo de manera sencilla,
clara, breve y con los datos suficientes. Así no tendrás que estar explicando lo
mismo varias veces.
9. Toma un descanso mental. Cuando estés bloqueado y parece que no puedes
avanzar, respira hondo varias veces para relajarte, trata de pensar en algo
agradable y luego retoma lo que estás haciendo, con la mente fresca.
[5]
10. Sé puntual y organiza tus actividades. Una manera casi infalible de llegar a
tiempo es planear llegar más temprano. La mejor forma de optimizar el tiempo
es planear todas nuestras actividades.

SECTION 3
VERB “TO BE” PRESENT
¿POR QUÉ “TO”?
Algo que, al principio, le resulta difícil de entender a todo estudiante es que, en
castellano, el infinitivo de los verbos tiene tres terminaciones: ar (cantar), er (beber) e ir
(dormir). Más adelante observarás que los verbos ingleses tienen gran variedad de
terminaciones. Por ese motivo -con el único objetivo de unificación- a los verbos en
inglés se les antepone la preposición to para indicar que están "en infinitivo" (ejemplo,
to be = ser o estar).
Nota
VERB "TO BE"
POSITIVE
En inglés el verbo viene siempre
precedido por el pronombre personal
(sujeto de la oración). En castellano no
ocurre lo mismo: al comenzar una oración
podemos decir soy, estoy (sujeto tácito o
implícito) en reemplazo de yo soy, yo
estoy. Cabe insistir que, en inglés, el
pronombre I (yo) se escribe siempre con
mayúscula, ya sea que se encuentre al
principio o en el medio de una oración.

[61]
LESSON 4
SECTION 1
COUNTABLE NOUNS AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
Countable Nouns (Los nombres contables)
Los nombres o sustantivos contables son aquellos que se pueden contar.
•
Ejemplos:
one [a] pencil (un lápiz)
two cats(dos gatos)
three houses(tres casas)
Nombres contables tienen una forma plural:
•
Ejemplos:
egg/eggs (huevo/s)
bicycle/bicycles(bicicleta/s)
dress/dresses(vestido/s)
Se puede usar "a" o "an" con nombres contables en singular:
o
Ejemplos:
an apple (una manzana)
a house (una casa)
Se pueden usar números delante de un contable:
•
Ejemplos:
three apples(tres manzanas)
five houses(cinco casas)
[62]
Uncountable Nouns (Los nombres incontables)
Los nombres o sustantivos incontables son aquellos que no podemos contar porque
no los podemos delimitar individualmente sino que forman parte de un todo. Son
tratados como singulares (no se pueden hacer plurales añadiendo '-s').
Algunos ejemplos son:
salt(sal),
wood(madera),
tea(té),
wine(vino),
sugar(azúcar),
bread(pan),
furniture(muebles),
hair(pelo),
information(información),
money(dinero),
weather(tiempo),
time(tiempo),
rice(arroz)
Sin embargo, en el momento que los delimitamos, estos mismos nombres o sustantivos
pasan a ser contables. Deberán ir precedidos, si quieren individualizarse, de alguna
palabra con valor partitivo.
•
Ejemplos:
agram of salt (un gramo de sal)
apiece of wood (un trozo de madera)
twocups of tea (dos tazas de té)
threeglasses of wine (tres vasos de vino)
[63]
Nombres incontables no tienen una forma plural:
rice(arroz)
•
Rices
milk(leche)
•
Milks
No podemos usar números delante de un incontable:
•
two rices

SECTION 2.
HOW MUCH AND HOW MANY.
En ingles cuando queremos preguntar acerca de la cantidad de un sustantivo
incontable, usamos la estructura:
“How much + sustantivo + is there?
Ejemplo: How much milk is there? = ¿cuánta leche hay?
En las respuestas se puede usar un partitivo no específico como; a lot (un montón), a
little (un poco), none (nada), some (algo).
Ejemplo: How much milk is there? = There is a little.
¿Cuánta leche hay? hay un poco
O por el contrario podemos usar partitivos específicos de unidad o medida o peso para
especificar las cantidades;
Ejemplo: How much milk is there? = There is a litre, there is a bottle, etc.
¿Cuánta leche hay? Hay un litro, una botella, etc.
Si queremos preguntar acerca de la cantidad de un sustantivo contable, usamos la
estructura:
“ How many + sustantivo + are there?
[65]
Ejemplo: How many oranges are there? = ¿Cuantas naranjas hay?
En las respuestas se usa: a lot (un monton), a few (unas pocas), too many,
(demasiadas), o none (ninguna), some (algunas), si queremos especificar cantidades
entonces usamos partitivos contables del tipo; un kilo, un litro, un paquete, una bolsa,
one, two, etc.
How much y how many se usan para preguntas en general acerca de cosas, cuando
queremos que se nos indique las cantidades que hay, entonces how much y how many
van acompañados de is there o are there.
Ejemplos: How much water is there? = There is 1 litre.
How many students are there? = There are eleven students in class.
También existe otra forma de preguntar cuando no estamos seguros de si hay algo o
no,
y es usando:
Is there + any + sustantivo (para incontables) o
Are there + any + sustantivos (para contables)
Ejemplo: Is there any bread? - ¿Hay algo de pan?
Yes, there is - Si hay
Are there any apples? - ¿Hay alguna manzana?
Yes there are - Si hay
Si quieres especificar la cantidad o cantidades, pues usas there is o there are +
partitivo(s)
Ejemplo: There is a loaf of bread. Hay una barra de pan.
There are two loaves of bread. Hay dos barras de pan.
There is an apple. Hay una manzana.
There are three apples. Hay tres manzanas.
Apuntes especiales.
En inglés los líquidos, materias y substancias son incontables, en este apartado
debemos de incluir a los siguientes sustantivos que son incontables en inglés:
Money – dinero
Fruit – fruta
[66]
Bread – pan
Time – tiempo
Chocolate – chocolate
Meat – carne
Beef - carne (vacuna)
