A variety of methodologies will be used in this course:
Lectures with a large group: Presentations by lecturers about basic subject items. During these sessions the entire group will be together in the class. It allows the explanation of the main contents through an open and active students' participation.
Seminars modules A and B: Workspaces in smaller groups supervised by lecturers. In order to go deeper into the contents previously addressed within the entire group; documents analysis and case resolution activities are developed in these smaller groups.
Seminars section C: Workspaces in small groups supervised by lecturers. In these seminars, students are offered tools and methodologies to develop their collaborative projects.
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.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |

1. Exam module A contents | 30% | 0 | 0 | 3, 5, 7, 10, 4 |
2. Seminar exercices module A | 10% | 0 | 0 | 3, 5, 7, 10, 4 |

5. Report module C | 20% | 0 | 0 | 1, 2, 6, 9, 8, 12, 4, 11 |
The module A and the module B have each two individual assessment tasks: an examination and a portfolio of seminar assignments, according to the teacher explanations at the begining ot the course. To be allowed to do the examinations, it is necessary to submit all seminar assignments in each module. The minimum grade of the examination is 5 (out of 10) to calculate the average with the seminar assignments grades. The global seminar assignments must have a mínimum of 5 (out of 10). The average of module A and module B grades counts the 80% of the subject. In case of failing one exam, a re-sit exam will be made available. The seminar assignments could be done in second chance.
The exam date for module A will be on 23/1/2026 for the Pedagogy group and at 21/1/2026 for the Social Education group, for the module B the exam will take place on 5/6/2026 for the Pedagogy group and on the 3/6/2026 for the Social Education group. The date of the retake exam will be the 26/6/2026 for the Pedagogy group and on the 17/6/2026 for the Social Education group.
The assessment task of module C is a group report about one local setting; the assignments are divided into four deliveries, two for each semester. Assignments may be retaken. Attendance at the Block C sessions is mandatory; accumulating more than 20% absences from these sessions will result in failing the course.
To pass the subject, it is necessary to have a minimum of 5 in the average of module A and module B, and a minimum of 5 in the module C.
The grades for each paper or exam will be available within 20 academic days after their sumission. Revision of grades will be hold during the same week, or the following, of the feed-back received.
If the student submits a maximum of 50% or less of the assessment evidence, the course will be considered "not assessable" for them.
In accordance with UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying of any seminar exercices will be penalised, the exercice will be not valid and must be repeated. The examination of the affected module will be only possible in the re-sit date. If plagiarism is detected in the assignment of module C, it will be suspended and will have to be done again. An extended definition of plagiarism is avalaible in: http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html
All activities (individual and group) will take into account linguistic correctness, editing and formal aspects of presentation. 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 assessed) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the work development, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated using such technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a grade penalty for the activity, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.
The course does not allow a synthesis exam for students enrolling for the second time.
OPTION OF SINGLE ASSESSMENT (to be requested during the available periods at the Faculty of Education)
Students taking the single evaluation must provide the following assessment evidence:
Control of block A syllabus (30%) and control of block A practice lectures (10%).
Control of block B syllabus (30%) and control of block B practice lectures (10%).
The date for these controls will be the same as the date on which the rest of the students take the exams of block B, the 5th of June 2026 for the Pedagogia degree, and the 3rd of June 2026for the Educació Social degree programme.
If any of these tests are failed, there will be the possibility of a make-up exam. The make-up date coincides with the make-up date established for the rest of the students: the 26/6/2026 for the Pedagogy group and on the 17/6/2026 for the Social Education group. The revision of the final qualification follows the same procedure as for continuous assessment.
For block C, a work on the analysis of a territory will be submitted (20%).
It should be borne in mind that the work on a territory is designed to be carried out by a team of 5 people, as it involves analysis of statistical data, field visits, participant observation and interviews. In the case of choosing to carry out the work individually, all the data collection exercises (total of 5 records) must be carried out in the same way.
The date of delivery of the work corresponding to block C is the date of the single assessment exam, i.e. the date on which the rest of the students take block B of the course.
