Objectives and Contextualisation

Psycho-pedagogical intervention in pre-school and primary education is based on the conception that the regulatory principles of the teaching-learning process need to be adapted to the specific characteristics and needs of pupils. These principles must be understood in terms of all educational activities at these levels as being preventive. For this reason, they must incorporate mechanisms that strengthen basic skills and promote social inclusion for pupils. At this early level of education, emphasis must be given to the processes of early detection of problems associated with learning and development so that secondary prevention can be effective.

 

Specific objectives:

 

  • Evaluate educational interventions from a systemic perspective.
  • Understand the resources and measures for an inclusive school.
  • Analyse Universal Design for Learning and its application to provide more personalized attention.
  • Understand and analyse psychopedagogical intervention processes.
  • Evaluate the principles and models for psychopedagogical intervention with children, families, and the curriculum.
  • Become aware of the role that should be assumed in psychopedagogical intervention in early childhood and primary education.
  • Acquire new professional skills for inclusive educational care from a community perspective.
  • Understand and evaluate strategies, programs, and protocols to promote cultural, sexual, ethnic, religious, linguistic, and other types of diversity.

Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Title Weighting Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
Case analysis developed 40% 0 0 CA05, CA06, CA07, SA07, SA08
Class participaton 10% 0 0 CA05, CA06, SA08
Self-evaluation 10% 0 0 SA07, SA09
Working module. Portfoli 40% 0 0 KA07, SA08, SA09

The results of the evaluation of each piece of evidence must be published on the Virtual Campus within a maximum of one month after its completion.

The completion of the evidence (case analyses) will be carried out individually and in small groups. Submission deadlines will fall within the teaching period of the module and must be submitted via the Virtual Campus.

The module work will consist of the individual preparation of a portfolio based on the working sessions.

The self-assessment will be carried out individually and will be submitted on the last day of class. To pass the module, it is necessary to have approved the work of different case analyses and the work of the module.

In the event that the module is suspended, the student must re-enroll in the module in the next edition of the master's degree. In this case, no grade of the evidence will be saved. Throughout the evaluation process, the student will be guided on the evidence to be presented, if applicable.

Returns, feedback, or grading of the submitted evidence will be completed within a period not exceeding 20 working days.

Single assessment: The single assessment consists of preparing a learning portfolio (50%), a practical test of the resolution of a case (35%) and an oral defence of this case in front of the teaching staff (15%). These three activities must be submitted and carried out in the last week of April. The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous assessment: the activities will be submitted and/or reassessed during the month of May.

In accordance with UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying of any work or written test will be penalized with a 0 as the grade of the evidence, 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).

 

Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI)

In thissubject, the use of generative artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, among others) is restricted to non-substantive support functions, including:

  • Searching for general bibliography or initial sources of information.

  • Generating ideas or preliminary outlines for organising one’s own work.

  • Reviewing formal aspects, such as grammar or style, without altering the core content.

The use of GAI is not permitted for:

  • Fully or partially writing the various proposed activities and assignments.

  • Generating content that is presented as the student’s own work.

  • Replacing personal reflection in assessment activities.

Improper use of GAI—understood as presenting AI-generated content as one’s own—may result in a fail mark (0) for the corresponding assessment.

Copying or plagiarism of material, whether in assignments, practicals or examinations, is considered academic misconduct and will be penalized with a 0 for the subject. A piece of work or activity will be deemed “plagiarised” if part of a text by another author is presented as one’s own without citing the source, regardless of whether the original source is in print or digital format. A piece of work, activity, or exam will be considered “copied” when all or part of another student’s work is reproduced.

To pass this subject, the student must demonstrate sound general communication competence, both oral and written, as well as a good command of the language of instruction indicated in the course guide.
