peer agreement (net): +2High School Diploma by Regular Semi-Distance / Blended Learning Explanation: This is what PREPARA means in the Dominican Republic. It means doing the bachillerato by a combination of face-to-face class teaching and online/distance learning. It is usually for adults, but not only. There are two types, Regular and Acelerado, and the difference is that Acelerado involves more face-to-face classes. So I think you could call them Regular (in US English, really meaning "Normal") and "Intensive" respectively. "Enseñanza semipresencial", which this is, can be called "semi-distance", "blended" or "hybrid" learning. You'll find all these options proposed, with adequate support, by checking the glossary. "Educación Media a Distancia y Semipresencial para Personas Jóvenes y Adultas (PREPARA) PREPARA es un Programa de la Secretaría de Estado de Educación (SEE) que permite finalizar los estudios de bachillerato estudiando en la casa, asistiendo a clase sólo 7 (siete) horas a la semana (el Bachillerato Regular) y 9 (nueve) horas (el Bachillerato Acelerado)." http://www.minerd.gob.do/Lists/Servicios Educacion Adultos/D... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2016-12-16 07:55:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There's a story in the Dominican press about a young Dominican, Carlos Miguel Patiño Santana, who got his bachillerato mención Prepara Normal while in prison in Puerto Rico, achieving the best grades in the RD that year. He studied with the help of a course on the radio: "El interno cursó sus estudios de Bachillerato mediante el programa de estudios Radio Santa María, Padre Lamarche, que tiene incidencia a nivel Nacional." http://diasporadominicana.com/2015/08/19/hijo-de-locutor-dom... |
