Methodology

The methodological approach is the principle of the variety of methodological strategies. It must facilitate active participation and learning of the students. In this sense, keynote sessions will arise with large group, and some activities to work in small groups using cooperative learning and self-employment will be strengthened. The teacher has to support students in this methodological approach, providing some resources to mediate their learning process. The tutorials will be considered as a fundamental part in this methodological approach.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

The evaluation of the subject is continuous and will be based on a written test that will have a weight of 50% in the final mark of the subject and in activities / practical work both individual and group (50% in the final grade). All the evidence must obtain a minimum of 5 to be able to make an average.

    Students who have successfully followed the subject during the course and still have some aspect not achieved, will be given the opportunity to pass the subject by completing a final reassessment. In this case, the maximum grade of the re-evaluated block will be 5. In no case, the re-evaluation will be considered to raise the mark obtained.

    If finally one of the evidences (for suspension or NP) is not approved, it will mean that the expected minimum has not been reached and the subject with the corresponding qualification for the suspended evidence will be suspended.

    The results of the evaluation of each of the evidences must be published on the virtual campus within a maximum period of 21 days after its completion, and a review date must be offered within 10 days after its publication.

The practical work in class may consist of case analysis, creation of teaching materials, problem solving of real situations, analysis of innovative methodologies, analysis and discussion of readings, among others.

    According to UAB regulations, the plagiarism or copy of any work or written test will be penalized with a 0 as a mark of the subject losing the possibility of recovering it, whether it is an individual or group work (in In this case, all members of the group will have a 0). If, during the course of an individual work in class, the teacher considers that a student is trying to copy or discovered any type of document or device that is not authorized by the teaching staff, the same will be described with a0, without a recovery option, and Therefore, the subject will be suspended. Attendance in face-to-face sessions is mandatory, the student must attend at least 80%. Otherwise the evaluation will correspond to an NP.

    The treatment of particular cases, doubts, suggestions, etc. should be addressed to the teachers of the corresponding block.

An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements. The gender perspective will also be taken into account in the general communicative expression.

    As a future teacher, we must show an attitude that is compatible with the educational profession as a requirement to pass the subject, as well as an ethical commitment to the profession. Attitudes of active listening, argumentation, respect for peers and teachers, participation, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality or the use of the appropriate mobile or laptop are required only when necessary for the class, among others .

    Any change made in the contents of the guide and / or program of the course during the course will be agreed with the students that attend that day in class where the possible change is discussed and will be announced later on the virtual campus of the subject . Likewise, the contents exposed in the initial schedule of each block may vary if an agreement is reached between the teacher and the students who attend the class on the day they are proposed. If you remember the modification in the guide and / or program will be informed through the news of the moodle of the subject. Changes can allow adjusting the contents to the characteristics, knowledge, interests and particular rhythms of the class group.
