Evaluation

Evaluation activities are assessed during the semester following a continuous assessment. The evaluation is described below:

 

-       Assessment of performative dimension (30%). In the working group, they have to set up a dialogue among different voices from theories of education and feminists.

 

-       Assessment of the productive dimension is composed of two parts - individual and group (40%): Individual part is conducted by each student. It is expected that the student will include reflections from a gender perspective. The teachers of this subject offer guidance during the process of this activity (2 meeting min. with the teacher are required to pass this activity). The group part pursues a socio-educative action to transform Education, according to the topic of an individual part.

-       Systemic dimension (30%) A case study and other activities are used as an assessment activity in the working group. The resources for this activity can be mass media, daily life and educative situations to connect personal experiences and educational feminists’ approaches.

 

 Revisions of marks
