Prerequisites

The student should have taken the core subject of Psychology of Education


Objectives and Contextualisation

The main objective is to analyze the student-teacher relationship within the teaching-learning process. Although, the students' own variables are also analysed, this subject essentially aims to bring the student closer to the psychological knowledge of the teacher, both with regard to the variables classically recognized as being significant for the development of the instructional process (eg teacher's thinking, planning processes, time management, etc.) as well as other emotional and social personal content (emotions, motivations, expectations, etc.) that, perhaps with less explicit recognition, exert a great influence on their professional performance. Students are also therefore intended to have a clear vision of the methodologies used by the different teachers, as well as the instruments that can be evaluated. In short, it is a subject in which taching quality can be assessed as well as the relationship between the teacher and the students.

Methodology

The seminars will consist of two different parts, one by the teacher and the other the student's work. In the first session, the programme is presented, basic and complementary bibliography is presented and a presentation of activities to be carried out. The seminar sessions consist of presentations by the teacher with the corresponding discussion, in which students are invited to actively participate. The lectures will be used to introduce and explain the main topics of the programme.
In the other sessions, the teacher will show a series of applications of the content presented in the master classes so that the student can carry out activities.
It is important to bear in mind that this course will work with the Virtual Campus resource, a tool which will be useful for accurate monitoring of the subject, what is being done or must be done, as well as obtaining materials and complementary readings.

N.B. The proposed teaching and assessment methodologies may experience some modifications as a result of the restrictions on face-to-face learning imposed by the health authorities. The teaching staff will use the Moodle classroom or the usual communication channel to specify whether the different directed and assessment activities are to be carried out on site or online, as instructed by the Faculty.

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 assessment will carried out on a set of optional activities:

Activity 1. Practical work in the classroom. Individual, written (20%). This will be carried out throughout the course.
Activity 2: Concept map. Individual, informatic classroom (20%). First evaluation period.
Activity 3. Presentation and defence of the portfolio. Individual, written (30%). During the second week of assessments.
Activity 4. On-site test to evaluate the content of the subject. Individual, short (30%). Second evaluation period.

To pass the subject students must obtain an average mark of 50% in the sum of all the activities.
It is mandatory to submit all the evidences to pass the subject If all the evidences are not submitted, regardless of whether the arithmetical sum of the evidences submitted is greater than 5, the final mark will have a ceiling of 4.5, and therefore the subject will not be passed.

Reassessment: students can opt for reassessment if throughout the continuous assessment they submit evidences worth at least 66.7% of the total grade and have obtained a grade of less than 5 and more than 3.5. The reassessment will consist of a final test of everything covered during the course.

Students who have not submitted learning evidences with a weight equal to or greater than 4 points (40%) will be considered NON-ASSESSABLE.

No unique final synthesis test for students who enrole for the second time or more is anticipated.

 

 

UNIQUE ASSESSMENT

										
											students who opt for the single assessment option waive the continuous assessment and will be assessed for all the contents of the subject in a single assessment, which will take place on the same day and place that the test of the second evaluation period of the subject.

										
											This evaluation act will consist of two face-to-face exams (Concept Map and test to evaluate the theoretical content of the subject) which will follow the same format and include the same content as evidence A2 and A4 of the continuous evaluation (respectively). At the end of the two exams, and during
this same evaluation event, the students enrolled in the single evaluation system will have to answer a total of 8 questions from the practices carried out throughout the course (evidence 1). Likewise and, with reference to evidence 3, the students will have to reflect on each of the topics discussed in theory
and the oral presentation of the teaching observation made throughout the course.
										
											
The total duration of this single face-to-face assessment event will be approximately 4h30m (See the following table).
