Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Assessment is carried out in both formative and summative ways. Formative assessment allows for monitoring the progress of the teaching-learning process, while summative assessment verifies the knowledge acquired and the skills developed through theoretical-practical evaluation activities with a cross-curricular approach.

Continuous assessment:

Each module will include two assessment components:

• Classroom activities, which account for 50% of the final grade for the module. These activities may be conducted individually or in groups.
• Module project, which accounts for the remaining 50% of the final grade for the module. The module project will consist of a case analysis with a theoretical reflection/contribution related to the case. It must be an individual paper, with a maximum length of 10 pages, including references.

To pass the module, the student must obtain a grade of 5 or higher in each of the two assessment components. To pass the course, the student must obtain a grade of 5 or higher in each module. The final module grade will be the sum of the grades from the classroom activities and the module project. The final course grade will be composed of 52% from Module 1 and 48% from Module 2. Submission deadlines are January 23 (Module 1) and December 12 (Module 2).

Resit (Recovery):

Students who do not pass the course may sit for the resit. To be eligible for the resit, students must have been previously assessed in a set of activities that account for at least two-thirds of the total course grade. In order to participate in the resit process, students must have an average grade of at least 3.5 in the course. The resit date is February 27 and will consist of a practical case related to all the topics covered in the course (50%) and a written test (50%). In this case, the maximum grade that can be obtained is a 5.

Single assessment:

Students who opt for the single assessment at the beginning of the academic year, following the procedures provided by the faculty and informing the teaching staff, will be assessed on January 23. The single assessment will consist of a written test (50%) and an interview covering the contents of the entire course (50%). To pass the course, both parts must be passed with a minimum grade of 5 in order to calculate the average. The resit process for the single assessment follows the same procedure as for continuous assessment.

Aspects to take into account:

• Feedback, returns, or grading of the assessment components will be provided within a maximum period of 20 working days.
• Since the language of instruction for the Master’s program and for secondary education is Catalan, oral and written tasks related to this module must be submitted in that language. For written activities (individual or group), linguistic accuracy, writing quality, and formal presentation will be taken into account. Likewise, oral expression must be fluent and correct, and a high level of comprehension of academic texts is expected. An activity may be ungraded, returned, or failed if the teaching staff considers that it does not meet the aforementioned requirements.
• Assignments must be submitted primarily via the virtual campus. Other submission methods may be enabled, upon prior agreement with the teaching staff, and will be communicated either in class or through the virtual campus. Assignments submitted through channels not previously agreed upon, in incorrect formats, without the authors' names, or after the deadline will not be accepted. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the file format is compatible with the Moodle submission platform. Failure to submit assessment components by the deadline set in the course guide will result in a “Not Assessed” mark.
• From the second enrollment onwards, students may opt for a synthesis test consisting of a portfolio (50%) and a theoretical-practical test (50%). In this case, the course grade will be the grade obtained in the synthesis test.
• For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for bibliographic or information searches, text correction, translations, or other specific situations deemed appropriate. The student must clearly indicate which parts were generated with AI, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and the final result. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this graded activity will be considered academic dishonesty and the grade for the component will be 0, with no option for resit.
• According to UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying of any assignment will be penalized with a grade of 0, without the possibility of resubmission, whether the assignment is individual or group-based (in the latter case, all group members will receive a 0). If, during an individual in-class assignment, a student is found attempting to copy or using unauthorized materials or devices, the work will be graded 0 with no opportunity for resit.
• This course requires the inclusion of gender and inclusion perspectives through self-critical reflection on one’s own subjectivity and how it affects teaching. Ethical commitment to the deontological principles of the profession will also be taken into account.
• Students must demonstrate attitudes compatible with the teaching profession, such as commitment and responsibility toward assignments, respect, participation, active listening, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, non-judgment, reasoned argumentation, etc. Proper use of electronic devices (mobile phones, laptops, tablets, etc.) in the classroom is also essential. These devices may only be used for activities related to the course.
• It is recommended to carefully review that sources, notes, direct quotations, and bibliographic references are correctly written in accordance with APA guidelines.
