Methodology

The sessions of this subject will be mainly theoretical and will therefore require independent work on the basis of the proposed readings in order to place us in historical contexts and theories of education from a gender perspective. The selection of texts and readings will be accompanied by various classroom activities. These will be designed to encourage shared reflection and dialogue. 

Teacher-led sessions to introduce the basic content

 - Group activities:

Oral presentations of students' work.

Project of a socio-educational action linked to the final work.

Reading and reflecting on the recommended texts.

Individual work:

Final work on the contents of the subject. 

Teaching and supervising activities related to the final project.

Final work on the content of the subject

Follow-up activities related to completing the final project on methodological proposals (at least two).

Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved, within the schedule set by the center/title, for student supplementation of teacher performance evaluation and assignment/module evaluation surveys.

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

Assessment

The evaluation activities specified above will be evaluated during the whole of the academic semester. Activities are specified in 

- PERFORMANCE DIMENSION. In a group, the students will organise exhibitions in which different thinkers and theories of education will be put into dialogue with feminism.

- PRODUCTIVE DIMENSION. Students will contribute with processive and emancipatory methodological reflections and proposals, both individually and in groups. 

- SYSTEMIC DIMENSION. The individual analysis-reflections will take the form of <<minutes of the session>> of the group activities of the performative dimension. 

Assessment procedure

Teachers will inform students (via Campus) about the procedure and the date of the qualification review at the time of each final activity. 

Recovery

Students will be given the opportunity to recover the subject by doing additional independent work or by revising some of the activities carried out, if they have followed the subject properly during the course and still have some unachievable aspects (min. 3.5). Each case will have to be studied according to the situation of each student and, if it is necessary, a day will be set for the recovery after the end of the lessons (until the publication of the calendar and the timetables on the website of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy).

Evaluation activities that are excluded from recovery

The final project (individual and group) will not be recoverable because it will be followed by a seminar/tutorial where students will be accompanied throughout the process of producing it. The evaluation will thereforebe formative and summative at the end, and it is understood that students will have to incorporate improvements and progress from this accompaniment. 

Additional information

 If the student commits any irregularities that may lead to a significant change in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be given a grade of 0, regardless of the disciplinary procedure that may be ordered. In the case of a series of irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final qualification of this subject will be 0. 

The unique assessment is not applied to this subject.
