Objectives and Contextualisation

The objectives of this module are:

  1. Understand guidance as a holistic and strengths-based process that mentors the students' personal, academic, professional/vocational and citizenship development.
  2. Plan and carry out individual and group guidance interventions that facilitate the establishment of relationships of trust, strengths and needs assessment for the development of the students' educational, professional, social and life projects, and the establishment of mentoring and support actions aimed at the implementation of such projects.
  3. Design and develop plans, programs, projects and actions of personal, academic and professional guidance.
  4. Identify, plan and agree on counselling and guidance actions in coherence with the culture and identify the centre through networking between teaching teams, external agents in the centre and guidance and mentoring families.
  5. Understand the evaluation as an opportunity for learning: from the psycho-pedagogical evaluation, to the inquiry and to the formative evaluation.

Content

  1. Educational guidance with secondary education students: Theoretical framework, aims and model for XXI century career guidance.
  2. Needs and strengths of students in relation to personal, social, academic and professional development: self-concept and self-esteem; living together, participation, climate and conflicts; curricular competencies; techniques and study habits; motivation; knowledge of the environment; vocational maturity and life project.
  3. One-on-one and group interaction with secondary education students: Instruments, techniques and group dynamics.
  4. Educational project and tutorial and guidance action: Identity and Culture of the centre. Shared horizon From the secondary school teachers team to the educational personal and professional team. Strategic centre documents: PEC and Coexistence plan. Organization and leadership.
  5. Orientation is understood as a measure or universal support for all students. Design and development of personal, academic and professional guidance programs. The Universal Design of Learning. The nature of learning. Innovation, guidance and inclusion.
  6. Networking and co-creation of spaces and time for reflection and regulation. Psychopedagogical intervention is based on the identification of the strengths and barriers of the context. The inquiry as a scaffold of thought and process of educational transformation to guarantee the learning of all the students and the professional improvement.

Methodology

The methodology will allow the classroom to be a laboratory of experiences where students and teachers can experience from the practice all incorporation of contents. We will apply the Universal Design Learning Process as a session development structure:

  • Priority will be given to the reception and creation of links through dynamics that will allow us to find learning in students' previous knowledge. Learning strategies will combine, among others, presentations, visualization and analysis of videos, study cases and readings.
  • Theoretical content will be applied through participatory actions such as cooperative work and projects. This will develop critical thinking, and autonomy and will promote collective and social learning.
  • Learning will be continuously evaluated through the regulation of processes, self-evaluation and co-assessment, in addition to the evaluation obtained through pieces of evidence.

Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public health authorities impose restrictions on public gatherings due to COVID-19.

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 evaluation of the learning process will be done through four pieces of learning evidence. Two of them will be individual and two will be carried out in work groups.
  • The mark to be obtained to pass any given evaluation evidence is a 5.
  • The evaluation evidence that is marked with less than a 5 can be repeated. The new evidence produced will receive a 5 as the maximum grade. The deadline to deliver the new evidence will be agreed upon with the lecturer.
  • Evaluation pieces of evidence must be handed in on the deadlines and format that will be specified. Feedback on each piece of evidence will be offered to students, so areas of improvement are identified.
  • If a piece of evaluation evidence is not handed in on time, it will be considered non-assessable evidence. In this case, the student must contact the lecturer to establish a new deadline to hand it in. The new deadline can not exceed two weeks from the original deadline and it will be considered as re-evaluation; as such, the maximum mark obtained will be 5.
  • According to UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying of any evidence, work or written essay will be penalized with a zero as a mark, and the possibility to repeat it will no longer be available.
  • Attendance of face-to-face learning sessions is compulsory. Students must attend a minimum of 80% of the sessions. Failure to comply with this regulation will result in having Non-Assessable as the final mark for the subject.
  • Doubts, suggestions or students' specific situations must be presented to the lecturers during the first week of the module. 
  • Initiative and an attitude compatible with education-related professions are a must: respectful dialogue, constructive criticism, the use of arguments more than opinions, active participation, being rigorous in the autonomous work, offering a solution focused on assertive feedback and the appropriate use of electronic devices is required in all learning sessions.
  • A good communicative competence is required in order to pass the subject, both in its oral and written form. Also, it is necessary to have a good command of the languages included in this guide. It is essential that in all activities (group and individual) formal aspects, writing and language are correct and appropriate. Students must be able to communicate fluently and show a high degree of mastery in understanding academic documents. A piece of evidence may not be assessed or may be failed if the lecturer considers that the criteria specified are not met.
  • Students must commit and comply with the code of ethics of the profession.
