Assessment

The evaluation of this subject is carried out by monitoring the student teacher’s learning process in the seminars and the tutorial interventions. This monitoring process will allow us to take decisions about the development of the subject. At the end, we are going to verify if learning results agree with competencies and goals. This subject also includes activities for the development of Teaching Digital Competence.

There are three assessment components: 

1. Work seminar and all the practice activities/exercises/tests that will be done (5 is the minimum mark needed to pass). Student teachers should do 3 practice activities (in cooperative groups). One of these is to design a unit plan ((integrating the areas of the primary school curriculum, including Digital Competence, where innovative methodologies are integrated with technologies). The due data of each one of the practices will be: Practice 1 (Setember 2023), Practice 2 (October 2023), Practice 3 (Desember 2023).
2. Group presentation of the unit plan (5 is the minimum needed to pass this). Presentation will take place between Desember 2023 and January 2024.
3. Test/Exam (written, individual and in-class) based on the content and readings (5 is the minimum needed to pass). This exam will take place in January 2023 (19th January group 21; 24th January groups 31, 41, 71; ). If the exam is failed, the student teacher can retake it (retaken exam will take place two weeks latter: 2nd. February group 21; 7th. February groups 31, 41, 71). The retaken exam/test will also be written, individual and in-class (5 will be the maximum mark). To retake the exam is mandatory to do the official exam previously, in the established data.

Before submitting evidenceof learning, it is necessary to check that the sources, notes, textual citations and bibliographical references have been written correctly following the APA regulations and according to the documentationthat is summarized in UAB sources: https://ddd.uab.cat/pub/recdoc/2016/145881/citrefapa_a2016.pdf; https://www.uab.cat/web/estudia-i-investiga/com-citar-i-elaborar-la-bibliografia-1345708785665.html; https://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_03.html  

To pass the subject, the student teacher has to do all the practice activities/exercises/tests and the exam, and deliver (and when necessary, defend,) them on time. Likewise, the student teacher must pass each one -practices and exam- separately (5 is the minimum pass mark for each one). 

Another aspect to consider is the weight of each one of these components (see the next table for this).

The qualifications of each of the assessment activities will be published in the 20 days following the delivery. Students wishing to review the results must do so within 15 days after their publication.

SINGLE EVALUATION

The evidence of the evaluation will be due on January 2024, coinciding with the written exam. Concretely:

• 19th January 2024, group 21.
• 24th January 2024, groups 31, 41, 71.

This evaluation includes:

• Written exam that includes all the content of the different blocs; it includes two parts: a first one (test type of an eminently theoretical nature) and a second one (case study of a theoretical-practical nature). This evidence has a weighting of 50% in the final assessment (20% the firstpart and 30% the second one).
• The design/development, on the same day of the written exam and once it has been completed, of a unit plan (integrating the areas of the primary school curriculum, including Digital Competence, where innovative methodologies are integrated with technologies). This evidence will be evaluated with a total value of 50% of the total grade.

All the evidence considered in the single assessment must be passed with a minimum grade of 5.

The recovery date for the single evaluation will be the same it is established for continuous assessment (it will take place two weeks latter: 2nd. February group 21; 7th. February groups 31, 41, 71). The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.

The review of the final grade follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.

Both in the continuous and single evaluation process, all activities (individual and group) will consider the proofreading, writing and formal presentation. Students should be able to express themselves with fluency and accuracy and should show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not rated) or suspended if the teacher believes that does not meet these requirements. To pass this subject, the student should have 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.

To pass this subject, it is also be necessary to show an attitude compatible with the educational profession. It will be necessary to show active listening, respect, active participation in the classes, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, arguing, appropriate use of electronic devices (mobile, computer, etc.), showcritical thinking and behaviors that favor a friendly and positive environment, democratic and where differences are respected.

The copy or plagiarism, both inthe case of works and in the case of examinations, constitute an offense and will be punished with a 0 as a mark of the subject losing the possibility of recovering it, whether it is individual work or in group (in this case, all the members of the group will have a 0).
