Objectives and Contextualisation
External internships are intended to put students in contact with certain professional environments. In addition, they offer the possibility of opening research to a very emerging field in the performing arts: the processes (creative, pedagogical, production, etc.) that precede the result. The internships will be carried out in companies and institutions in both the public and private sectors: theatrical infrastructures, television production companies, theatre production companies, dance companies, theatre companies, educational centers, cultural and social associations, public administrations, scenography workshops, media.

Content
The purpose of external internships is to put students in contact with certain professional environments (artistic, pedagogical, production...). They offer the possibility of opening research to an emerging field such as creative processes, which precede the result. These internships are carried out in companies or institutions in both the public and private sectors: theatre production companies, dance or theatre companies, educational centers, cultural and social associations, scenographers' workshops, etc.
The Institut del Teatre is responsible for establishing and signing the agreement with the institutions where these internships take place.
Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Perosnal study | 55 | 2.2 | |
| Type: Supervised | |||
| Practical activities and tutorilas | 95 | 3.8 |
The task to be carried out, in the first place, will be the assistance and monitoring of the processes related to the performing arts (artistic, pedagogical, production, etc.), which have been previously agreed between the module tutor, the student and the tutor of the organisation and conditioned by the nature of the artistic institution that hosts the student.
The student, in addition to carrying out the practical activities, will have tutorials and will develop a personal work of reflection and analysis on previously agreed concepts.
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.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Learning file folder | 55% | 0 | 0 | CA10, CA11, KA16, KA17, KA18, KA19, SA15, SA16 |
| Oral defence infront of the mentor | 35% | 0 | 0 | CA10, CA11, KA16, KA17, KA18, KA19, SA15, SA16 |
| Report by the external mentor | 20% | 0 | 0 | CA10, CA11, KA16, KA17, KA18, KA19, SA15, SA16 |
This subject has no single assessment.
The evaluation of the practicum will be articulated with a portfolio of learning (45%), the defense of the work before the tutor (35%) and a report from the external tutor (20%).
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or content-based searches, text correction or translations. In the case of subjects in a Modern Languages degree, use of translation must be specifically authorised by the teacher. Other specific situations may be contemplated, as deemed appropriate by the teacher. The student must clearly (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
No Matrícula d’Honor grade is awarded due to the optional nature of this grade and theheterogeneity of this subject in the different degrees taught in the Faculty. The course Pràctiques Professionals cannot be reassessed in the event that the student fails.
This subject does not incorporate single assessment.
