Objectives and Contextualisation
This optional subject aims to show the importance of the gender perspective in primary schools and classrooms. Future teachers must know what the foundations of co-education are, and what it means to apply the gender perspective in education. They must be able to identify the elements that, in an educational relationship, can be transmitters of inequality, from knowledge to spaces, relationships and methodologies, as well as acquire resources to reverse it and be able to apply the knowledge to design educational projects based on justice, equality and equity. And to do so, we will have to deconstuate some of the ideas we have learned, recover and review our own education and conceptions of gender and power relations. Although the subject is based on knowledge of the social and cultural environment, its applicability involves all areas of education and life in the school.
Specific objectives
Recognize the principles of the gender perspective in educational environments, in order to be able to review and design educational proposals.
Analyze social problems and realities from feminist scientific perspectives, in order to project learning situations with a gender perspective.
Critically analyze media, literary and playful resources, in order to be able to select quality resources for the classrooms.
Design proposals for teaching social sciences from a gender perspective, in order to be able to make real curricular decisions that involve incorporating the gender perspective into the classroom.
Competences
- Act with ethical responsibility and respect for fundamental rights and duties, diversity and democratic values.
- Assume the educating dimension of the teacher's role and foster democratic education for an active population.
- Design and regulate learning spaces in contexts of diversity that take into account gender equality, equity and respect for human rights and observe the values of public education.
- Make changes to methods and processes in the area of knowledge in order to provide innovative responses to society's needs and demands.
Learning Outcomes
- Analyse teaching sequences that favour the construction of social discourse to promote the values of a critical and democratic population.
- Critically analyse the principles, values and procedures that govern the exercise of the profession.
- Propose new methods or well-founded alternative solutions.
- Using the resources of the environment in order to design teaching and learning activities that develop autonomy and cooperative work in primary school pupils.
- Weigh up the impact of any long- or short-term difficulty, harm or discrimination that could be caused to certain persons or groups by the actions or projects.
- Weigh up the risks and opportunities of both one's own and other people's proposals for improvement.

The sessions of this subject could be exploratory, manipulative or theoretical depending on the diferent Health scenary. Anyway, both individual and group work will be required.
The aim is that the student could experiment his/her own formative process, and understand that learning is a social and personal act, which bring into play rational and emotional aspects. Efforts will be made to maintain an interactive dynamic and a climate that encourages participation. Personal commitment is required. The role of the teacher should be to facilitate the teaching and learning process of the students.
Learning activities
Depending on the type of teaching required in case of lock-down, activities could be exploratory, analytical, autonomous, supervised and directed.
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.

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out throughout the academic year through the proposed activities. The evaluation is understood as formative and formative, and is closely linked to the participation in the day-to-day activities of the classroom.
Requirements
Approving the subject means having achieved the main learning objectives.
To pass this subject, the student must show a good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the Catalan language. In all activities (individual and group) linguistic correction, writing and formal aspects of presentation will be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. It is a requirement to be able to evaluate the activities.
The evaluation activities help us to learn, and also to check if the students have achieved the competencies and objectives required. The use of AI in assessment activities, if used, must be explained, with transparency and honesty. The lack of transparency or improper use of this implies the cancellation of the evaluation test. If it is considered that the use of AI does not allow to identify the competence achievement of the students, they may be asked to repeat part of the activity.
The subject is face-to-face and, to pass it, it is necessary to have attended a minimum of 80% of the sessions.
To pass the subject it will be necessary to have passed the different competences. The weighted average will not be applied to the numerical grades if it is not considered that all the objectives have been approved.
There will be no final summary test.
Assessment Calendar
The co-construction of knowledge activities will be developed during the different sessions.
The evaluation activities that require a delivery are expected for Thursdays 23/10/25, 11/12/2025. The co-evaluation of a learning situation is expected on Thursday 04/11/2025.
If the recovery is necessary, it is expected for Thursday 29/01/25 at 6 p.m. The recovery will consist of a test, the nature of which will depend on the competencies and objectives that have been suspended.
In case of opting for single assessment, all evaluation activities must be submitted individually on 12/11/2024, as well as a personal interview on 12/11 at 3 p.m. The recovery of the single evaluation will also be on 29/01 at 6 p.m., with the same test style that the students of continuous evaluation will have.
