Student is the main character in the learning teaching process  and under this premise the methodology of this subject has been planned.

Mostly, dynamics will be used, starting with the conceptual and theoretical basis with the whole class group, we will analyze and discuss their application to Pre-school Education in seminars and practical sessions with small groups.

Both the skills to be developed and the methodology used in the subject, require a participatory attitude of the student, which is specified in: previous work of documents or activities to be developed in class, attendance and active participation in classes, predisposition to conceptual changes and, also, cooperative work with classmates in small groups.

The formative activities of this subject can be directed, supervised and autonomous:

• The guided activities are led by the teachers or by the students themselves. They can be classes with the whole large group or seminars and body practice sessions in small groups. Classes with the whole group are based on presentations of the contents and basic questions of the syllabus. Seminars and practical sessions are spaces for deepening, analyzing, contrasting, debating, living, reflecting and evaluating the contents of the subject. The seminars are done through activities such as: analysis of videos or materials, group dynamics, problem solving, personal experience, discussion-debates, etc. The practical sessions are carried out through one's own bodily experience, as well as the training and reflection that this entails. And, also, the realization of a practical session both for the colleagues of the Faculty and for a group of children. The seminars and practical sessions are compulsory and students will be assigned to one of the scheduled groups so that students must always attend the same seminar and be evenly distributed with the most similar number possible. students each.

• Supervised Activities by the teacher outside the classroom include the set of individual and group tutorials, physical and virtual, which should serve to accompany the student in his learning process by guiding activities, solving difficulties and supervising the follow-up of his evidence of learning

This subject will propose using the Service Learning (ApS) methodology.It is about addressing a real need identified by an institution/entity in order to provide an answer in the form of a solution or service for the entity. Service Learning is today a widely recognized methodology that allows not only to deal with real cases, but also to insert the student into environments in which he can develop his professional career in the future.

In addition, other methodological strategies will be carried out to be able to work based on challenges (ABR) that will use various activities such as: reading articles, analyzing documents, surveys, bibliographic searches, presentations, videos, implementing proposals,reflections on process and progress, evaluation of proposals, etc.• Self-employed work is carried out by the student independently to develop skills and achieve the goals of this subject.

 

 

 

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

Continous Assessment Activities

Title Weighting Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes

"This subject does not provide for a single assessment".

The assessment to pass the course will be continue, formative and shared.

The assessment requires minimum attendance at 80% of the seminar and practical-laboratory sessions, regardless of the causes that may cause the lack of attendance (the supporting documents presented in case of absence will only serve to explain the'absence, in no case will they be an exemption from attendance).A student who has not delivered or participated in any assessment activity will be considered NP (Not Presented).

In order to pass the course, each of the 3 areas of asssessment activities of the subject must be approved. It is also absolutely necessary to demonstrate an attitude compatible with the teaching profession: active listening, respect, participation, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, not judging, arguing, appropriate use of electronic devices (mobile, Computer, etc.). It is also imperative that the student demonstrate that he is responsible and rigorous in the self-employment, actively participating in the classes, showing critical thinking and behaviours that favour a friendly and positive, democratic environment and where the differences of gender, culture, etc. In addition, specifically to the practical sessions, it is necessary to come dressed in sportswear that allows to execute all the proposed activities and show a willingness and active participation. It should be treated with care and respect all the equipment of the gym, leaving it in perfect condition and ordered after use. If a rejection is generated, each group is responsible for carrying it directly to the outside containers at the end of the class. If some of these attitudinal requirementsare not met, the grade for the subject will be a 3.

At the same time, the student must show a good general communication competence, bothorally and in writing, agood command of the language or vehicular languages that appear in the educational guide, and can be expressed fluently and proofed.

The Competency Log Diagram activity will be delivered on January 8. The self-assessment reports will be delivered in the last week of class (January 11). The Co-tutored Psychomotor Learning Project consists of 3 assessment sub-activities: the Content Exhibition (15% group activity) will be assessed on October 21 (group 61) and on October 16 (group 62); the  Teaching Reflexive Practice (15% individual activity) it will be delivered a week after the practical session with the children in a school;; and the Exhibition and Presentation of the PAPCo-T (25% group activity) on 11, 13, 18 and 20 Desember. The final revision-recovery of the subject will take place on January 27 and 29.

The qualifications of each of the evidence of assessment will be communicated in a period not exceeding 4 weeks after its freely. The student who wishes to revise the note, must do so within 15 days after his communication in the tutorials schedule that the teacher has established in this subject and which is entered in the program of the same.

With regard to activities in small groups, their grade does not necessarily have to be the same for all members of the group. Therefore, within the group work, each student receives an individual grade that is perhaps the same or different from that of their colleagues.

Copy and plagiarism are intellectual robberies and, therefore, constitute a crime that will be sanctioned with a zero in the whole subject losing the possibility of recovering it if it is an individual or group work (in this case all members of the group will have a 0). In the case of copying between two students, if it is not possible to know who copied from who, the sanction will apply to both. We want toremember that it is considered  "copying " a work that reproduces all or a significant portion of thework of oneor the other student.  "Plagiarism " is the fact of presenting all or part of a text by anauthor as his own, that is, without quoting the sources , regardlessof whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format.
