Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Assessment is both formative and summative. Formative assessment makes it possible to monitor the evolution of the teaching-learning process and summative assessment makes it possible to verify what has been learnt and the skills developed through theoretical and practical assessment activities with a cross-cutting approach. 

Given that the vehicular language of the Master's degree and of secondary education is Catalan, the oral and written tasks related to this module must be presented in this language. In written activities (individual or group), linguistic correctness, writing and formal aspects of presentation will be taken into account. In addition, oral expression must be fluent and correct, and a high level of comprehension of academic texts must be shown. An activity may be non-assessed, returned or failed if the teacher considers that it does not meet the above-mentioned requirements.

Each module will have two evaluation evidences: 

- Classroom practicals, with a value of 50% in the weight of the final grade of the module. Classroom practicals may be individual or group. 

- Module work, worth 50% of the weight of the final module mark. The module work will consist of a case analysis with a theoretical reflection/contribution related to the case. It will be individual and will have a maximum of 10 pages, including bibliography.

In order to pass the module, the student must obtain a mark equal to or higher than 5 in each evaluation evidence. In order to pass the subject, the student must obtain a mark equal to or higher than 5 in each module. 

The final mark for the module will be on the sum of the classroom practice and the module work. The final mark for the course corresponds to 52% of the mark for module 1 and 48% of the mark for module 2.

The due dates are: 22 January (module 1) and 11 december (module 2).

The results of the evaluation will be announced within 20 working days of its delivery.

Students who do not pass the course may sit the make-up exam. In order to take part in the retake, the student must have been previously assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two thirds of the total grade for the subject. In order to participate in the recovery process it is necessary that the student obtains a minimum grade of 3.5 in the average of the subject. The recovery date will be on February 26th and will consist of the resolution of a practical case study related to all the topics covered in the course (50%) and a written test (50%). In this case, the maximum mark that can be obtained will be a 5.

Individual situations that do not fit in with the approach described above must be communicated in writing to the lecturers involved, who will assess whether it is possible to make any adaptation, without losing sight of the assessment philosophy of the subject.

The delivery of assignments will be carried out primarily via the virtual campus. Other methods of submission may be used, subject to prior agreement with the teaching staff, informed in class and/or via the virtual campus. Papers will not be accepted if they are handed in by any means not agreed with the lecturer, nor will papers handed in with incorrect formats, without the authors' names or handed in after the deadline. Students are responsible for ensuring that the format of the files is compatible with the delivery to the Moodle classroom. Failure to submit the evaluation evidence within the deadline set in the course guide is considered Non-assessable.

According to UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying of any work will be penalised with a 0 as a mark for this work, losing the possibility of recovering it, whether it is an individual or group work (in this case, all members of the group will have a 0). If during individual work in class, the teacher considers that a student is trying to copy or is found to be using any type of document or device not authorised by the teacher, the student will be graded with a 0, without the option to make it up. 

If a student does not attend a minimum of 80% of the sessions (applicable to each module), he/she will fail the module and will have to take the retake exam.

This subject should include the gender and inclusion perspective through (self-)critical reflection on one's own subjectivity and how it affects teaching. Ethical commitment to the deontological principles of the profession will also be taken into account. It will be necessary to show an attitude compatible with the teaching profession, such as: commitment and responsibility with the work, respect, participation, active listening, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, non-judgment, argument, etc. It is also essential to make proper use of electronic devices (mobile, computer, touch tablet, etc.) in the classroom. These devices can only be used to carry out activities related to the subject.

Single assessment

Students who, at the beginning of the academic year, choose to take the single assessment through the procedures provided by the faculty and inform the teaching staff, will be assessed on January 22th. The single assessment will consist of a written test (50%) and an interview related to the contents of the whole course (50%). In order to pass the course, both tests must be passed with a minimum of 5 in order to obtain the average mark. 

The recovery process follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment. The recovery date will be on February 26th.
