Prerequisites
Non-formal education organizations represent a series of very diverse forms, functions and purposes that require a specific study in the field of Organization of Educational Institutions. In recent years, this area has become a true emerging sector that has represented new forms of professionalisation. This, however, has meant an increase in lines of research, expansion to new sectors and job profiles and a change in certain forms of socio-educational intervention.
The subject Management of Socio-Educational Institutions has an eminently professionalizing character, which is why it is oriented from a practical and applied perspective that will involve students in a process of socio-educational management of a program with real activities. Learning in an experiential case articulates the training proposal of this subject.
It starts from the theoretical assumptions and skills acquired in previous subjects, especially: Educational contexts (first year) and Organization and groups (second year) of the Degree of Social Education. Therefore, it is recommended to master the contents worked on in these subjects linked to the Beginning Area of Educational Organization.
It should be considered that the focus of the subject is closely linked to the development of the Practicum, so some activities, methodology and content will be related to the Practicum Guide 1.
To finish, to say that the orientation of the subject is radically different from that of other subjects of the Degree, the development of the sessions is the responsibility of the students with motivation, work, dedication, respect and involvement.

It involves reading, understanding and reflecting on a reference manual.
3) Development of Training Days
Mandatory activity that involves traveling and staying overnight (x2) outside the Campus. It is based on the principles of competence and experiential learning based on challenges. The Conferences are an unparalleled training space to be able to apply, transfer and check the acquisition of the skills associated with the subject. People who for duly justified and accredited reasons cannot attend part of the Conference will have to do specific work on the development phase of the same number of hours for which the absence has been accredited. This activity could have a specific cost.
The designed methodology requires a regular, daily and responsible presence in large group and seminar sessions. Attendance at large group sessions (plenaries) is mandatory at 80%.
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.

REGIME OF CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
The evaluation of the subject will be continuous and consistent with the active and experiential learning model. For the final qualification, three types of evidence will be considered:
a) Test (25%). Individual test on the reference manual that will be scheduled for 7/XI
b) Diary (25%). Individual delivery of a Journal of Sessions with the collection of data, reflections and experiences that will be scheduled for 19/XII
b) Report (50%). Group work of the Training Days that will be scheduled for 16/I
Other indications:
- To calculate the final grade, a minimum grade of four (4) points must be obtained in each of the 3 pieces of evidence.
- The evaluation evidence can be retrieved on a single occasion if they obtain a lower score of four (4) points.
- If plagiarism is detected in the evaluation evidence, the grade will be 'failed' (URKUND of more than 60%).
- The evaluation evidence will be reviewed and returned within a period of approximately 20 days, as long as force majeure does not interfere.
- The qualification of 'Not Presented' is applied when any of the 3 evaluation evidences is not presented.
- Attendance will be mandatory in 80% of large group sessions (plenaries).
- The typology of the activities developed at the Training Days obliges to consider in the evaluation of the Report, aspects of an attitudinal nature; thus, in order to approve this evidence, it is necessary to show an attitude compatible with the educational profession.
- For any other reference to the evaluation, we refer to the prescriptions of the "Criteria and general evaluation guidelines of the Faculty of Education Sciences".
SINGLE ASSESSMENT REGIME
