Prerequisites

Interest in teaching and learning music 
										
											Predisposition to learn through instrumental and vocal practice

 

 


Objectives and Contextualisation

This subject will show the prominent role that music should play in the secondary education stage, as well as the contribution of models and resources in that context. To do this, an approach will be made to didactic processes adjusted to the particularity of musical practice in the classroom. 
The following objectives are proposed:
  • Approach the skills and knowledge that allow you to discover, know and enjoy music, and use it in the teaching task.
  • Recognize the value of musical practice and education as a carrier of social and cultural meanings
  • Approach the resources and methodological strategies related to classroom musical practice
  • Know the legal and training framework of formal learning in our context
  • Be part of and carry out a collective project in which musical expression has a central role

Competences

    Musicology
  • Act with ethical responsibility and respect for fundamental rights and duties, diversity and democratic values.
  • Students must be capable of applying their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and they should have building arguments and problem resolution skills within their area of study.
  • Students must be capable of communicating information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
  • Students must develop the necessary learning skills to undertake further training with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Students must have and understand knowledge of an area of study built on the basis of general secondary education, and while it relies on some advanced textbooks it also includes some aspects coming from the forefront of its field of study.
  • Value the role of music in integrated training of the individual and its presence in society as a whole .

Learning Outcomes

  1. Acquire skills for the organisation of working groups with adequate planning, division of tasks and methodological flexibility.
  2. Adcquire criteria for the production, selection and use of materials for music teaching.
  3. Analyse musical curricula in compulsory education and in further education and turn them into sequences of teaching activities work programmes.

  5. Assess the impact of the difficulties, prejudices and discriminations that actions or projects may involve, in the short or long term, in relation to certain persons or groups.
  6. Confirm the educational, cultural and emotional value of music and of the content of this discipline taught in compulsory education and in further education, and fir this content into the framework of science, culture and art.
  7. Critically analyse the principles, values and procedures the govern professional practice.
  8. Design and carry out formal and non-formal musical activities which contribute to making the school a place for participation and a meeting point for the promotion of culture in situ.
  9. Design and plan learning spaces where musical practice, reception and listening constitute the instrumental means for critical and aesthetic training of the musical ear.
  10. Develop and promote the crossover between the content of the musical area proper and others from other areas of knowledge.
  11. Establishing relationships between science, philosophy, art, religion, politics, etc.
  12. Evaluate the theoretical-practical developments of the teaching and learning of music.
  13. Explain the code of practice, whether explicit or implicit, in one's own area of knowledge.
  14. Identify adequate teaching tools for the educational transfer of musicological knowledge acquired.
  15. Identify specific contexts and situations in which it is possible to apply the different content which makes up the music curriculum in compulsory education and in further education.
  16. Make a detailed assessment of the capacity for working in homogeneous or interdisciplinary research teams.
  17. Produce correct, precise and clear argumental and terminological writing of knowledge acquired, both in the area of musical specialisation and dissemination.
  18. Solve problems of a methodological nature in the area of musicology.
  19. Solving problems autonomously.
  20. Summarising acquired knowledge about the origin and transformations experienced in its several fields of study.
  21. Understand evaluation as an instrument of regualtion and a stimulus of effort, and know and develop strategies and techniques for the evalution of music learning.
  22. Use ICT and integrate the technology in the music teaching and learning process.

Preparation for the written Test 18.7 0.75 2, 3, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22

The classroom methodology is essentially procedural, so it requires active participation of the student, both for instrumental and vocal practice, as well as in the joint reflections and cases presented in class.
A field trip is planned to take place at a secondary school near the UAB.

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

ATTITUDE, PARTICIPATION AND ATTENDANCE:
The attitude and active participation during the teaching and learning process are fundamental and essential to pass the subject.
Non-participation or low involvement in the proposed activities will be interpreted as a lack of interest in learning and, therefore, as an impossibility of developing the required skills. Consequently, the subject may be failed or left without being evaluated. 
Attendance at the sessions is essential to be able to follow and pass the subject, given that the sessions are totally practical and applied. 
The student who abandons the sessions unjustifiably (3 or more) will have a penalty of 2 points less in the final grade of the subject.
  
EVALUATION EVIDENCES:
The evaluation is made up of different parts to be passed independently with a grade equal to or greater than 3 in order to calculate your final grade. These parts involve different work methodologies in the classroom that will be developed throughout the semester, such as individual tasks, group work and written test.
The only recoverable evidence is the written test and in case of obtaining a grade less than 3, given that below these values the subject would be failed and above that the weighted average is taken directly. 
The student will receive the grade of "Not evaluable" if he or she has not completed these two evaluation tests: group work and the written test. This is applicable both in continuous evaluation and in the single evaluation option.
 
SINGLE EVALUATION:
It will consist of the delivery of all the same evidence provided for in the continuous evaluation, but assuming that the group project will be carried out individually. 
The delivery of the tasks will be the day that the oral presentations of the projects begin, given that the student with a single evaluation must also make this presentationbefore the class group.
The same recovery system will be applied as for continuous evaluation (the written test can only be recovered if it has an evaluation less than 3/10), and the review of the final grade follows the same procedure as for continuous evaluation.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
To pass this subject, it is necessary for the student to show, in the activities proposed, good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the Catalan language. In all activities, linguistic correctness, writing and formal aspects of presentation will therefore be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet this requirement.
Copying or plagiarism of written works will be penalized with a 0 in that delivery and there will be no opportunity to recover it.
Misuse of artificial intelligence (GPT chat) for written deliveries will be penalized with failure in the subject.
In case that the student commits any type of irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, this will be graded 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may arise from it. In the event that several irregularities are verified in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
