Methodology

The methodological approach of the subject starts by focusing the process activity on the student's learning. For this, the student must be responsible, active and autonomous throughout the process, being the teacher's mission to help and guide him in this task.
The teaching staff:
1) will orient and/or provide the theoretical reference;
2) support and guide the student at all times, guiding for search or providing (as deemed) information, resources, ... necessary to facilitate learning;
3) ensure the autonomous learning of the student, proposing different teaching / learning activities, under the principle of methodological multivariance.
All this should facilitate the essential involvement and active participation by the student in their learning process. In this context, academic tutoring become a fundamental part of the work methodology.

Assessment

The evaluation will be carried out throughout the course, through the activities shown in the evaluation activities grid.

If this is the case (according to the teacher's choice), the individual exam will be done in the last part of the subject. If necessary and if the ordinary test has been done, the recovery exam can be done after. The grade of the recovery will be a maximum of 5.

If this is the case (according to the teacher's choice), the critical conceptual map will be delivered the second week of November; if necessary, can be modified and repeated only once (obviously only if the ordinary task has been done). The maximum recovery grade will be a 5.
The task/block "Design of a training action for adults", if necessary, can be modified and repeated only once (obviously only if the ordinary practice has been done). The maximum recovery grade will be a 5.
The blocks/tasks "development of a formative action for adults" in the classroom and "other classroom activities (group assessment, assessments instruments, reflective self-assessment, etc.)" are NOT recoverable.

In order to pass the subject, each one of the 4 blocks of evaluative activities that structure the subject must be approved (minimum of 5) (design of formative action, development of formative action, other activities, examination/ critical conceptual map).
Class attendance is mandatory. The student must reach a minimum of 80% attendance in order to be evaluated, otherwise it will be considered as "not evaluable".
Non-realization, non-presentation, etc. of the assigned activities will be considered as "not evaluable", with the consequences that this implies in the final qualification of the subject.

If copy or plagiarism is detected in work, practices, activities, exams, etc. a 0 will be obtained in the final qualification of the subject (whether it is individual or group, in the latter case all the members of the group will have a 0), not being able to recover.

The methodology and the evaluation can be modified according to the restrictions to the attendance that the health authorities impose.
