Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

General Considerations

The secondary education master's at UAB is conducted in a face-to-face modality, given that classroom activities and an attitude of active listening and participation are essential for learning. 

The details of the assessment for each topic will be provided with the program at the beginning of the course. Throughout the part of the subject taught by each professor, complementary tasks may be requested without necessarily being considered assessment tasks, but they will be mandatory submissions. 

Assignments must be submitted in the module's Moodle classroom. Assignments submitted in incorrect formats, without the authors' names (both in the body of the work and in the file name), or submitted after the deadline will not be accepted. Students are responsible for ensuring that the file format is compatible with submission to the Moodle classroom. 

It is necessary to demonstrate an attitude compatible with the educational profession to pass this subject. Active listening, respect, participation, cooperation, and punctuality will be valued. Ethical commitment to the professional deontological principles will also be taken into account.

Continuous Assessment Activities

Continuous assessment consists of the following tests and activities, distributed across the five blocks of the subject:

Block 1. Teaching and Learning Writing and Reflection on Language (5 cr.)

• Final task for structuring learning: a five-minute video and an infographic reflecting on learning in relation to theoretical aspects and personal experiences.

• Submission during the first weeks of the second stay at the center.

• 30% of the subject's grade.

Block 2. Teaching and Learning Literature and Reading (5 cr.)

• Design of a guided reading proposal.

• Conditions:

Cross-curricular Assessment Activity for Blocks 2 and 5

• Literary reading forum.

• Conditions:

• Individual task.

• Non-recoverable activity.

• Participation throughout the course.

• 15% of the subject's grade.

To be eligible for an average, a minimum score of 4 must be obtained in each of the activities slated for assessment (in the case of recoverable activities, once the recovery has been completed). Non-submitted assignments will receive a score of 0. 

The results of submitted exercises and tests will be published on the virtual campus within a maximum of 20 working days following their submission. Students will have 5 days to request a review of the tests from the date of their publication.

Recoverable Activities

The following recoverable activity, consisting of an individual test, will take place on May 8:

• Written test on the analysis and creation of activities about a literary text (block 2), for those who failed the guided reading assignment.

Recoverable failed activities consisting of a written assignment (blocks 3 and 4) must be submitted 15 days after receiving the evaluation. The new activity must be accompanied by a document justifying the changes made. 

In all cases, the maximum recovery grade will be 5. 

To be eligible for recovery, a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total subject grade must have been submitted.

Unique Assessment

Students opting for unique assessment must submit all assignments described in the continuous assessment by May 8. 

The recovery for single assessment students will be on May 29 (repetition of assignments or individual test). 

Students who opt for single assessment will not submit or receive formative or summative feedback on the continuous assessment activities carried out during the subject's development. Submission will be a single, concentrated event on one day.

Other Relevant Aspects

Linguistic Correctness

To pass this course, students must demonstrate good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the Catalan language, and the vehicular languages of instruction.

Therefore, in all activities (individual and group), linguistic correctness, writing, and formal presentation aspects will be taken into account. 

Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and demonstrate a high degree of comprehension of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or failed if the professor considers that it does not meet these requirements.

Not Assessable

An activity will be considered "Not Assessable" if 2/3 of the assessment activities have not been submitted (in proportion to the activity's weight in the grade).

Plagiarism

In accordance with UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying of any work, or the use of AI without mention, will be penalized with a grade of 0, thus losing the possibility of recovery, whether it is an individual or group assignment (in this case, all group members will receive a 0). If, during an individual in-class assignment, the professor considers that a student attempts to copy or is found with any unauthorized document or device, the activity will be graded with a 0, without the option of recovery.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for tasks allowed by the subject's instructor. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. 

Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and will result in a total penalty (zero) on the activity's grade.

Synthesis Test

This subject does not allow for a synthesis test in the case of a second enrollment.

Final Subject Grade

The following will be taken into account:

a) The weighted average, provided a grade of 4 or higher has been obtained in all activities (once recoveries have been completed).

b) Compliance with attendance criteria and proactive participation in class dynamics.

c) Submission of proposed tasks within the indicated deadline.

d) Absence of plagiarism inaccordance with the indications mentioned in the preceding points.
