Content

  • Diagnosis of a socio-educational reality
  • Intervention program
  • Review of the theoretical precedents
  • Monitoring and improvement strategies

Methodology

It is proposed as a work of innovation and improvement of a professional and institutional reality, related to the theme of the training carried out and whose execution involves diagnostic, application and evaluation processes. Its presentation and defense will allow the teaching staff of the training program to evaluate the degree of integration of the acquired knowledge and maturity when addressing real problems of a professional nature.

An initial proposal (approximately 1 sheet) must be submitted, which will contain the title, author and a brief description of the innovation activity that is to be carried out. The proposal will be sent to the academic secretary of the training program on the indicated date. This first proposal will be analyzed by the management and academic secretary to verify if it is suitable for the training program and will serve to assign a tutor, which will be communicated to those interested.

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 realization of the TFM has to demonstrate that it has integrated its contents and that it knows how to apply them to specific situations. Achieving this should not be just an individual task, since it has the support of teachers, tutors, and classmates, without ignoring the help that your professional or personal environment provides.

Copying or plagiarism, in any type of evaluative test, constitutes a crime and will be penalized with a 0 as a grade for the course, losing the possibility of recovering it. A work or activity will be considered "copied" when it reproduces all or a significant part of the work of another partner. A work or activity will be considered "plagiarized" when a part of an author's text is presented as its own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format. http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html

To pass this course, the student must show good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language or the vehicular languages that appear in the teaching guide. Linguistic correction, writing and formal presentation aspects will be taken into account in all activities. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.
