Methodology
Protagonist in teaching-learning process is student and under this premise the methodology of the subject has been planned..
Mostly, dynamic will be used that, starting with conceptual exposition and theoretical bases with the whole class group. Afterward, students are going to analyze and discuss about their application in Early Childhood Education in seminars and practical sessions with small groups (1/3 of the large group).
Training activities that take place in this subject can be directed, supervised and autonomous:
Directed activities are led mainly by professor and are carried out in different areas of the faculty. They can be either classes with whole group, or seminars and body practice sessions in small groups. Classes with whole group are based onpresentations by teacher of contents and basic questions of the subject. Seminars and practical sessions are workspaces for deepening, analyzing, contrasting, debating, living, reflecting and assessing contents of the subject. Seminars are done through activities such as: case studies, videos, material analysis, group dynamics, problem solving, personal experience, discussion-debates, etc. In practical sessions it is carried out through one's body experience, training and reflection that this entails. Seminars and practical sessions are compulsory and students will be assigned to one of three scheduled groups .
Supervised activities by professor are outside the classroom include the set of individual andgroup tutorials, physical and online, which must serve to accompany students in their learning process guiding tasks, solving difficulties and supervising their learning evidences.
Autonomous work is carried out independently by student to develop his skills and achieve the goals of this subject.
The proposed methodology may experiment some modifications depending on the restrictions on attendance imposed by the health authorities.

Students have to assistance the minimum assistance to 80% of the dep of seminar and practical sessions, independent of the reasons that can produce these absences (notes that present only can explain this absence, in any case will be an exempt of this presence). It is also highly recommended to attend all large group sessions because of the relationship among theory and practice. Assistance and participation in practical sessions are also mandatory.
NP (Not presented) will be considered that student who has not delivered or participated in any assessment activity.

Each case must be studied according to the situation of each student.
Grades of each of assessment activities will be communicated in a period not exceeding 4 weeks following their delivery. Student who wants to revise the note, will have to do it in the 15 days subsequent to his communication in the schedule of tutorials that professor has established by this subject and that consign in the program of the same.
Activities not submitted on established delivery date will be considered "not submitted".
Although there are activities to be done in groups, the grades will be individual, so not necessarily all members of the group need to be assessed with the same grade.
To pass this subject, student must show, in activities proposed, a good general communicative skill, both orally and writing, and a good command of the language or languages that appear in the teaching guide.
Copying and plagiarism are intellectual thefts and therefore constitute a crime that will be punished with a zero throughout the subject. In the case of copying between two students, if it is not possible to know who copied from whom, the sanction will be applied to both. We want to remember that a work of another is considered a "copy". "Plagiarism" is the fact of presenting an entire part of a text by an author as one's own, that is, without citing its sources, whether published on paper or digitally on the Internet.
