1. Topic selection: Students may choose the topic of their Final Degree Project (TFG) from the available options, in strict order of academic record, during the period established at the beginning of the academic year. To do so, they must follow the calendar and the instructions specified on the Faculty website: https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/graus/graus/treball-de-final-de-grau-1345727222087.html

2. Plenary session: The TFG process will begin with a plenary session where the general aspects of the project’s development will be explained.

3. Virtual workspace: The designated virtual classroom is the TFE Platform (https://tfe.uab.cat), which serves as the space for information exchange between the coordination team, the tutor, and the students. It is also the platform where all required evidence must be submitted throughout the course. Therefore, it is essential that students regularly check the virtual classroom and the associated email address to ensure they receive all necessary information for proper follow-up.

4. Supervised activity: Seminars. The supervised activity includes two types of seminars, which may be group or individual: mandatory seminars and extension seminars. Four mandatory seminars are scheduled throughout the different phases of the process. The 1st mandatory seminar is recommended to be group-based and should address the topic and type of project, the process, and the follow-up agreed upon by the tutor and the student. This seminar will be convened by the tutor once the topic assignments have been officially published. During this seminar, it is recommended to jointly schedule the remaining mandatory seminars – which should not exceed 8 hours in total – and the extension seminars – which should not exceed 4 hours.

From there, the 2nd mandatory seminar should address the initial sections of the outline, the 3rd seminar should allow for discussion of project progress, and the 4th and final mandatory seminar should cover all sections of the project before the final submission. Mandatory seminars are in-person. Only students participating in mobility programs may complete all seminars online. Students may also request up to 4 additional hours of extension seminars, to be agreed upon with the tutor. Given the autonomous nature of the project, no more than 4 hours of extension seminars may be held without a justified reason related to diversity support.

5. Follow-ups (see dates in the Evaluation section): Two follow-ups are scheduled during the course: an initial one and an intermediate one. The initial follow-up should allow for understanding the general approach of the project, assuming it may evolve and change. In the intermediate follow-up, the student must demonstrate significant progress in the sections of the outline agreed upon with the tutor.

6. Course “Eines i recursos que t’ofereixen les biblioteques per realitzar el treball acadèmic”: Students are required to complete training on tools and resources for academic work, to improve bibliography management and the development of the theoretical framework of their TFG. The Humanities Library offers a range of virtual courses: https://www.uab.cat/ca/biblioteques/cursos-virtuals-autoformacio

At a minimum, students must complete the course “Tools and resources for your academic work,” offered by the Humanities Library. The course certificate must be submitted along with the final TFG.

7. Final report submission (see dates in the Evaluation section): Students may agree with their tutor whether to submit the project as a report or in the format of a scientific article. The specifications regarding the required content and structure are detailed in the document “Basic Guidelines TFG 2026–27,” available on the TFE platform and the Faculty website. Regardless of the format, the project must be written in Catalan.

a. If the tutor deems it feasible, students may be encouraged to publish the article in a journal. In that case, the tutor should assist the student in adapting the article to the journal’s standards of rigor and presentation. The intellectual property of the TFG belongs to the author. If the project is to be published, consent from both the author and the tutor is required, with the tutor listed as a secondary co-author.

b. In cases where the TFG is contextualized within the same center or institution where the student is completing their internship, they may benefit from contextual analysis and other data. However, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES may both reports contain the same content (neither partially nor fully). That is, the internship report and the TFG must not be identical in any of their sections. This will be considered self-plagiarism and will result in a failing grade for the TFG.

8- Oral defense before a panel: Once submitted, students must prepare the oral defense of their TFG before a panel composed of two individuals other than the tutor. The calendar, location, and other practical details regarding the panels will be published on the TFE platform in advance.

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.

This course does not include a single-assessment system.

The assessment of the Bachelor’s Thesis (TFG) in Pedagogy is based on two distinct activities: the final submission and the oral defense of the work before a panel.

However, there are two formative assessment activities that do not receive a numerical grade but are compulsory and essential for the proper development of the work: the initial progress report and the intermediate progress report. The deadlines for submitting these reports and the final work are as follows:

• February call:

Initial progress report: 02/11/2026

Intermediate progress report: 30/11/2026

Final submission: 11/01/2027

• June call:

Initial progress report: 11/01/2027

Intermediate progress report: 12/04/2027*

Final submission: 24/05/2027

• September call:

Initial progress report: 11/01/2027

Intermediate progress report: 12/04/2027*

Final submission: 01/09/2027

* The student and the supervisor may agree to move forward the intermediate progress report deadline from 08/02/2027 to 12/04/2027.

If a student does not submit any of the progress reports or if their quality is very poor, this will affect the grade of the final submission under the TFG monitoring criterion. Additionally, if a student fails to submit any of the required evidence by the established deadline, it cannot be submitted later, and the student will not receive feedback from the supervisor.

These documents must be submitted through the virtual platform provided by the coordination within the deadlines agreed upon between supervisor and student.

Feedback from the supervisor must also be provided through this platform no later than 15 days after the submission deadline in the ordinary session. For the first two submissions, a qualitative assessment rubric with defined criteria will be used. For the final evaluation, there will be a rubric for each type of TFG, resulting in a numerical grade from 0 to 10. The supervisor must include feedback comments in all three submissions. Both the document requirements and the evaluation rubrics will be published on the virtual platform.

Regarding the oral defense, the panel will consist of two teaching staff members from the Pedagogy degree. The dates for the 2026–2027 academic year are:

• February session: during the week of January 25–29, 2027
• June session: during the week of June 14–18, 2027
• September session: September 6, 2027

Once the list of students registered for each session (February, June, September) is finalized, the coordination team will publish the list of panels and the student assignments on the official communication platforms (Faculty website and virtual space).

The TFG presentation before the panel will include an initial presentation of up to 8 minutes. Afterwards, the panel will ask questions or make comments, and the student must demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the ideas presented in the TFG. The panel will assess the work using a rubric that will be published in the virtual platform.

Students are required to attend the entire TFG presentation session assigned to their panel; absence from the full session will result in a 15% penalty on the defense grade.

As the defenses are public, in addition to the panel and the scheduled students, other individuals may attend as audience, provided they respect the schedule and procedures of the defense.

The final grade of the TFG results from the evaluation by the supervisor and the panel according to the assigned weight of each activity. To pass the course, both components (final submission and defense) must be passed with a minimum grade of 5. If one component is failed, that will be the grade recorded.

If plagiarism exceeding 20% is detected, the TFG will receive a grade of 0. Even if students work on the same topic, the final report must be original and entirely individual. According to UAB regulations, additional measures may be taken, such as initiating academic disciplinary procedures.

Use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools: If the preparation of the TFG involves the use of AI tools, they must be used responsibly and consciously, and their use must be explicitly stated in the document. Any irresponsible use (such as including incorrect or unverified sources and references) will result in penalties, and uses that violate the University’s ethical principles (such as fraudulent image manipulation or generating fictitious data presented as real) will result in failing the TFG.

To submit the work in the September session, students must request a change of session through Academic Administration within the established period. Otherwise, the grade recorded in the June session will be “Not assessed,” and there will be no September session available.
