The teaching will be expository and interactive and will be of a face-to-face nature. Presencial whole-class activities include classes of an explanatory nature, aimed at introducing and explaining the general aspects of the topics, clarifying the most significant concepts and providing a global vision of the contents of the different blocks, all with the aim of providing the necessary theoretical bases for other types of subsequent work on the subject, both theoretical and practical. Didactic support materials will be used to facilitate the monitoring and understanding of the content by the students (power point presentations, audiovisual material, network resources...).
The medium group sessions (interactive group) aim to deepen the specific aspects of the presentation sessions, as appropriate to each of the topics to be dealt with, by reading and commenting on documents, establishing conceptual relationships, encouraging the transfer of theory to practice, preparing and presenting reports, preparing concept maps, raising doubts, studying cases, videos, planning work and practical activities, debates and presenting individual or group work. The specification of the required tasks and the necessary materials will be presented to the students in the corresponding class sessions. All these activities will be aimed at developing independent and critical work, group activities and decision making, searching and handling information.
In the small group sessions (tutorial group), the aim is to respond to the resolution of problems, conflicts and doubts, both at individual and group level, and to follow up on the process of preparing the work.
The ordinary tutorial sessions will be dedicated, fundamentally, to attend to the individual needs of each student. In the Virtual Campus classrooms, students will be able to carry out tutorials on the contents of the subject, do their homework and, in general, consult on any aspect of the development of the subject, for which a specific forum will be set up. Consultations of a more personal nature will be mainly face-to-face, although they may be carried out partially virtually requesting an appointment, in both cases, via email to avoid unnecessary waiting and coordinate schedules.
This subject and its teaching staff participate in the CompetenteS project promoted by the Faculty's Linguistic Normalisation Commission, with the profile of Spanish. Therefore, the teaching staff will develop the teaching of the subject (expository, interactive and tutorial) and all the activities linked to it in Spanish, regardless of the fact that some of the written texts that students will have to read may be offered in another language. Students, for their part, will also interact with the teaching staff normally in the language of the subject, both orally and in writing, both in classes and in tutorials, whether in face-to-face, telematic or non-face-to-face activities, whether synchronous or asynchronous.
The evaluation system will be the continuous formative evaluation as the only evaluation criterion and consisting of the following elements:
a) 50 % Specific tests of continuous evaluation of contents.
There will be 3 continuous assessment tests of the contents of the subject, which may be objective multiple-choice tests, short or essay questions, to be agreed with the students.The grade to pass this part of the course must be at least 2.5 points out of 5. If the minimum score of 2.5 points out of 5 is not achieved, must attend the 2nd opportunity and the marks of section b will be maintained.
Students who are excused from attending class may take the continuous assessment tests like the rest of the students, and will hand in the same work on the same dates and will be subject to the same assessment conditions. If it is not possible to take the continuous assessment tests, students who do not attend class, those who do not meet the attendance requirements (attendance at a minimum of 80% of the sessions) or those who have the subject matter pending from previous courses that are not attended this course, must take a global test that will evaluate both theoretical-conceptual and practical applied knowledge. The 2nd opportunity will be governed by these same criteria.
b) 40 % assessments of written individual and group reports, oral presentations and other activities in the interactive group seminars.
Students must present their written production resulting from their work in the expository, interactive and tutorial sessions. In the interactive sessions, students will develop a series of practical activities related to the themes of the programme. These works will be developed in groups and also individually. All the activities are compulsory and must be incorporated into the virtual classroom on the previously established date. Papers submitted after the deadline will not be accepted, unless there are exceptional and duly justified circumstances. The teacher of the subject will give instructions on the form, contents and deadlines. In the case of not passing this part of the subject in the 1st opportunity (for which at least 2 points need to be scored), in the 2nd opportunity the students will deliver in the virtual classroom, on the date determined for the completion of the global exam, that task or tasks that need to be improved.
c) 10% Participation and involvement: As USC is a face-to-face university, students are obliged to attend all the face-to-face class sessions, so mere attendance will not be assessed, but constructive participation and active involvement in the subject will be taken into account, which may account for up to 1 point in the final grade. This point also includes oral presentations of the work carried out during the interactive classes. A collaborative and respectful attitude towards classmates and the teacher will also be taken into account. It is essential to respect turns to speak and to remain silent when required. The use of the mobile phone in the classroom is restricted to its use as a work tool following the instructions given by the teacher; consequently, its improper use will affect this part of the assessment. The performance of tasks or activities not related to the subject or corresponding to other subjects during the classroom session will result in the loss of marks for section c (participation and involvement).
It is important to bear in mind that:
- In order to obtain a positive evaluation in the subject, it will be necessary to have completed all the specified evaluation activities on time and to pass sections a and b.
- For evaluation purposes, the same work cannot be used for several subjects, except in the activities programmed in a coordinated way (if any).
- Individual or group work by students must be original.
By virtue of the participation of this subject in the CompetenteS project promoted by the Linguistic Normalisation Commission of the Faculty (with the profile of Spanish), students will normally present both their oral presentations and written work in Spanish. At the same time, their interventions in Spanish will be assessed in the active participation section.
Number of attendance hours -Autonomous work activities
Large group activities 24- 35
Medium group activities 24- 45
Small group activities 3-19
Total 51-99
Total hours (25h/cr x No cred) 150
It is recommended that students have a personal computer and a network connection. If this is not possible, the infrastructure offered by the centre (computer room, users, WIFI connection) can be used.
It is important that students are actively involved from the beginning in the dynamics of the subject, making a comprehensive and significant approach to overcome it successfully.
Finally, it is considered necessary the participation of all the students in the program of the USC of Training in Informational Competence and in the training sessions in transversal competences that are developed in the Faculty of Teacher Training, programs that will be advertised in due time for the knowledge of all the students.
The USC is a face-to-face university, so attendance at a minimum of 80% of the class sessions is mandatory.
Students with any type of functional diversity that prevents them from following their classes on a regular basis and that requires specific actions for good performance should contact the University Participation and Integration Service (SEPIU) to inform them of the conditions and measures that must be adopted.
In the event of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations on the assessment of students' academic performance and the review of grades shall apply.
