This subject is the continuation of the “Corporeal and Psychomotor Education in the schools of Early Childhood Education I” (3rd course) and II (4th course), reason why it is necessary to have reached the competences and contents worked in these two areas, and in this way, they will be able to take this subject.
This subject adopts as a basic axis the play and movement at the age of 0 to 6 years, focusing on knowing the ways of playing of children of these ages as well as the movement needs that arise from them. It also focuses on creating and designing of game scenarios, considering the needs of each age, space and material.
- Targets:
• Expand knowledges about the evolution of children’s play in the corporeal area during the first six years of life.
• Detect the movement needs of these ages in relation to body play.
• Design “game scenarios” as well as choose appropriate materials and contexts for body play.
• Use observation and documentation as research and reflection on the teacher’s intervention.
• Body play between the ages of 0 and 6 years.
• The needs of movement in early childhood.
• Scenarios, materials, and contexts for body play.
• Reflection on the teacher’s intervention in the playful action and corporal of the children.

The student is the protagonist in the teaching-learning process, and the following methodology has been planned under this premise.
This course will propose the use of the Service-Learning (SLL) methodology. It involves addressing a real need identified by an institution/entity and providing a solution or service to the entity. Service-Learning is now a widely recognized methodology that allows students not only to address real-life cases but also to integrate students into environments where they can develop their professional careers in the future.
The training activities carried out in this course can be directed, supervised, and autonomous:
- The directed activities are led by the professor or by the students themselves. They are carried out in the Faculty's facilities and during external visits to spaces dedicated to young children in both formal and informal education.
There will also be various collaborations with professionals from the world of Early Childhood Education who will share their experience with us.
The directed activities will be "body practice sessions" in the Faculty gymnasium and in the field practice spaces. For the different sessions, complementary and/or additional theoretical material (articles, book chapters, videos, etc.) will be provided, which students must review beforehand or afterward.
The "body practice" sessions are work spaces for experimenting, deepening, analyzing, contrasting, debating, reflecting on, and evaluating the subject content, but above all, for experiencing these contents on their own bodies and as future teachers. They are carried out through activities such as case studies, analysis of material (readings, videos, etc.), group dynamics, cooperative work, problem-solving, using the student's own body experience in practical activities, discussion-debates based on lived body experiences, etc.
- Activities supervised by the teacher outside of the classroom include individual and group tutoring, mostly virtual, which should serve to support the student in their learning process by guiding tasks, resolving difficulties, and monitoring their learning progress.
- Independent work is work completed by students independently to develop skills and achieve the course objectives.
- Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) will be used, utilizing a variety of activities such as: article reading, document analysis, surveys, bibliographic searches, presentations, implementation of proposals, reflections on process and progress, evaluation of proposals, etc.
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 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Informative article (individual work) | 30% | 0 | 0 | 2, 1, 6, 5, 8, 12 |
Preparation and application of a game scenario (group work). | 25% | 0 | 0 | 2, 1, 7, 6, 11, 3, 9, 4, 10, 14, 12 |
The art of accompanying children's play (individual work) | 40% | 0 | 0 | 9, 5, 8, 13, 12 |
Valuation report (individual work) | 5% | 0 | 0 | 2 |
1. Informative article (30%); Individual work toward a practical experiential session conducted in the course.
2. Development of a play scenario (25%). Group work using a SL methodology where different body play scenarios will be planned and implemented.
2. Assessment report (5%): final individual diagnosis of the course in relation to its methodology and assessment.
4. The art of accompanying children's play (40%). Individual reflective work based on the theoretical and practical content of the course related to play, movement, and the role of the adult.
This course includes both continuous and single assessment. The single assessment activities that the student must submit are:
- The "Informative article" activity (30%).
- In-person theoretical and practical test on "the design and implementation of a body game scenario" (30%).
- Theoretical oral exam on "the different types of body play" (40%).
The continuous and single assessment requires attendance at a minimum of 80% of the seminar and laboratory sessions, regardless of the reasons for the absence (justifications presented in the case of absence will only serve to explain the absence; under no circumstances will they be an excuse for not attending).
A student who, despite participating in the sessions, does not submit any course work (individual or group) will be considered NA (Not Assessable).
It is highly advisable to attend the various field trips that will be held at the formal and non-formal education levels in municipalities near the Faculty. These field trips will be held during the course schedule, with the student's own travel arrangements.
To pass the course, students must pass each of the four assessment activity blocks. It is also absolutely necessary to demonstrate an attitude compatible with the teaching profession: activelistening, respect, participation, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, non-judgment, argumentativeness, and appropriate use of electronic devices (cell phones, computers, etc.). It is also essential that students demonstrate responsibility and thoroughness in independent work, actively participate in classes, demonstrate critical thinking, and demonstrate behaviors that foster a friendly, positive, and democratic environment that respects gender, cultural, and other differences. Furthermore, specifically during practical sessions, students must wear sportswear to be able to carry out all the proposed activities and demonstrate a willingness and active participation. All gym equipment must be treated with care and respect, leaving it in perfect condition and organized after use. If any objection arises, each group is responsible for returning it directly to the outside containers immediately after the class ends. If any of these attitudinal requirements are not met, the course grade will be a 3.
To pass this course, students must demonstrate good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language(s) of instruction listed in the course guide. Therefore, in all activities (individual and group), linguistic accuracy, writing, and formal presentation will be taken into account.
Students must be able to express themselves fluently and accurately and must demonstrate a high level of comprehension of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or failed if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.
- The activity "Development and Implementation of a Game Scenario" (group work) will be submitted: from March 3 to June 2 (Tuesday group) and from March 5 to June 18 (Thursday group).
- The "Informative Article" activity(individual work)will be submitted: May 5 (Tuesday group) and May 7 (Thursday group).
- The "The Art of Accompanying Children's Play" activity (individual work) will be submitted: June 9 (Tuesday group) and June 11 (Thursday group).
- The "Assessment Report" activity (individual work) will be submitted: June 16 (Tuesday group) and June 18 (Thursday group).
Grades for each assessment item will be communicated within 20 business days of submission. Students who wish to review their grade must do so at 15 days of submission during the tutoring schedule established by the faculty for this subject.
Students who are participating in the single assessment must submit the commercial article activity on June 2 (group 1) and June 18 (group 2).
The other two in-person tests will be held on the same day, June 2 (group 1) and June 18 (group 2).
Retakes will be carried out based on the four evaluation activities carried out following the same timing. This will be the following:
Both "Elaboration and application of a game scenario" and "the dissemination article on game and movement" will be on the 23rd (Tuesday group) and the 25th of June (Thursday group). While the retake of the work on "the art of accompanying the child" will be on the 30th of June (group 1) and the 2nd of July (group 2).
To participate in the retake, students must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two-thirds of the total grade for the subject.
For students with a single assessment, the dates for retakes will be June 30 (group 1) and July 2 (group 2), with the difference that they will retake the entire subjectin a single day.
The assessmentactivities must be original and of their own or the group's own creation (where applicable) exclusively. Therefore, it is considered that it has not been self-produced when the work is prepared with non-original and exclusive elements by the student (such as those generated with Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.).
Therefore, in this subject the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed in any of its phases.
Any work that includes fragments generated with AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and the subject will be failed in its entirety without the option of reassessment.
Teachers will be able to carry out specific validations to guarantee authorship and the acquisition of skills in the event of suspicion of academic fraud.
Copying and plagiarism are intellectual thefts and, therefore, constitute a crime that will be sanctioned with a zero for the entire subject. In the case of copying between two students, if it is not possible to know who has copied from whom, the sanction will be applied to both. We would like to remind you that a "copy" is considered a work that reproduces all or a large part of the work of another colleague. "Plagiarism" is the act of presenting all or part of a text by an author as one's own, that is, without citing the sources, whether published on paper or in digital form on the Internet. You can find the UAB's documentation on plagiarism at:
