Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

The continuous and single assessment of student learning will be based on 3 activities, as described below. The final grade of the module will consist of the weighted average of the grades obtained in these three activities as long as and when each of them is equal to or higher than 4. The assessment activities are individual and will be evaluated by the teaching staff of the module. The specific guidelines for carrying out these activities are accessible on the Virtual Campus. All deliveries will be made through the Virtual Campus.

Continuous evaluation:

The assessment of student learning will be based on 3 activities:

•  Assessment activity 1: Reflective reading of a research article in science education or mathematics education. Submission date: 16-10-2025.
•  Assessment activity 2: Representation of the state of research in mathematics education or science education. Submission date: 13-11-2025.
•  Assessment activity 3: Analysis of the degree of relevance of a research problem in relation to the state of research in mathematics or science education. Submission date: 11-12-2025.

The feedback from the teaching staff will be made 15 days after submission.

To recover the evaluation activities that were not passed in the continuous evaluation option, it is necessary to submit the reviewed activities and a report explaining the changes made in the activities based on the input provided by the teaching staff. The maximum mark for the recovered activities is 5. The delivery deadline for the Virtual Campus will be 15-01-2026.



Single assessment:

A single document will be delivered with the three continuous assessment activities of the module:

• Assessment activity 1: Reflective reading of a research article in science or mathematics education.
• Assessment activity 2: Representation of the state of research in mathematics education or science education.
• Assessment activity 3: Analysis of the degree of relevance of a research problem in relation to the state of research in mathematics or science education.

The activities will be submitted through the Virtual Campus and will be defended orally on 08-01-2026 from 3pm to 5.30pm.

To recover the evaluation activities that were not passed in the continuous evaluation option, it is necessary to submit the reviewed activities and a report explaining the changes made in the activities based on the input provided by the teaching staff during the oral defense. The recovery deadline will be through the Virtual Campus and will be 15-01-2026.

General aspects of the assessment relating to plagiarism or academic fraud:

Copying or plagiarism in any type of assessment activity constitutes a crime and will be penalized with a 0 as a grade for the module, losing the possibility of recovering the assessment of the activity. An activity or work will be considered "copied" when it reproduces all or a significant part of the work of another colleague. A work or activity will be considered "plagiarized" when a part of an author's text is presented as one's own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format.

The misuse of artificial intelligence for performing assessment activities constitutes academic fraud and will also be penalized with a 0 as a grade for the module, losing the possibility of recovering the assessment of the activity. An evaluation activity will be considered having misused artificial intelligence when it includes a significant number of incorrect or biased statements, fails to include original sources, cites non-existent work, or incorrect way, or inconsistencies of style in the use of language are evident. If plagiarism or academic fraud is suspected, the assessment activity is subject to an oral defense bythe student.
