The methodology of the subject begins with the learning process of the Student. In order to understand this principle, the Student will have to remain active and self-sufficient during the whole process, being the professor’s mission to be helpful with this task. In this sense the professor’s tasks will be:

1)      To give support to the Student providing him at all time with all the information and the resources needed for a good learning process.

2)      To assure the autonomous Student knowledge proposing different teaching-learning activities (individuals and collective, theoretical and practical) under the principle of methodical varieties.

Priority will be given to project-based learning methodologies, case studies, flipped classroom, and cooperative work techniques (puzzle).

Throughout the course, case studies that connect education/training and gender will be proposed, as far as possible, in order to address the gender perspective in the context of pedagogy and social education

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.

Assessment

Continuous assessment activities

Title Weight Hours ECTS Learning outcomes

Submission of 3 projects/practical exams: block 1, block 2 and block 3 (group assessment) 39% (13%+13%+13%) 0 0 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Presentation of group achievements, classroom activities, reflective activities on ad hoc material, etc. (group and/or individual) 10% 0 0 2, 7, 10, 11, 14

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Students must submit three types of evidence:

• 3 group projects/practical exams (1 from the first block, 1 from the second block, and 1 from the third block).

• 3 individual written exams (1 from the first block, 1 from the second block, and 1 from the third block).

• High-quality presentation of group achievements, group and/or individual classroom activities, reflective activities on ad hoc material, etc. (throughout the course).

The projects/practical exams have a formative purpose from an assessment perspective, as they can be reviewed/retaken by the group based on the assignment submitted.

The theoretical exams for each of the content blocks have a summative purpose and should be an individual synthesis of the study, the implementation, discussion, and reflection on the group work, etc. Due to their nature, a exam that is failed can be retaken.

The presentation of group achievements, group and/or individual classroom activities, reflective activities on ad-hoc material, etc., are NOT recoverable by their nature.

Completion and passing of the three group practical projects/exams (and their presentations) and the three individual written tests are essential to pass the course. If students do not present any of these documents/exams, the course will be considered "non-assessable".

Please note that feedback and return of tests and assessment activities will be provided within a maximum of 20 business days.

The first practical project/exam will be submitted at the end of Block 1, and the first individual test will be held on November 11, 2026 for the Pedagogy degree and November 3, 2026 for the Social Education degree.

The second practical project will be submitted at the end of Block 2, and the second individual exam will be held on March 3, 2027 for the Pedagogy degree and on March 2, 2027 for the Social Education degree.

The third practical project will be submitted at the end of Block 3, and the third individual exam will be held on May 19, 2027 for the Pedagogy degree and on May 18, 2027 for the Social Education degree.

To be eligible to participate in the resit assessment, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight corresponds to at least two-thirds of the total grade for the course.

The practical projects and make-up exams for Blocks I, II, and III will be held/submitted on June 16, 2027 for the Pedagogy degree and on June 15, 2027 for the Social Education degree.

Involvement, initiative, and autonomy in the completion of the various activities will be assessed. Similarly, to pass this course, students must demonstrate good general communicative skills, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language(s) of instruction listed in the course guide. Therefore, in all activities (individual and group), linguistic accuracy, writing, and formal presentation will be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and accurately and demonstrate a high level of comprehension of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or failed if the instructor considers that it does not meet these requirements.

Copying or plagiarism in any type of assessment activity constitute a serious offence and will be penalised with a grade of 0 for the course, with no possibility of resitting, whether it is an individual or group assignment (in the latter case, all group members will receive a 0). If, during an in‑class exam or individual assignment, the instructor considers that a student is attempting to cheat, or if the student is found with any document or device not authorised by the teaching staff, the activity will be graded with a 0, with no option for resit, and the student will therefore fail the course. An assignment, activity, or exam will be considered “copied” when it reproduces all or a significant part of another student’s work. An assignment or activity will be considered “plagiarised” when a portion of an author’s text is presented as one’s own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are in print or digital format.

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted in a restricted manner and only for assignments in which the teaching staff explicitly indicates so. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated using such technology, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity. Unauthorized use or lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in any activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in failure of the assignment or more severe sanctions in cases of greater seriousness.

Throughout the course, an activity related to the professional fields of the degree and the learning outcomes of the subject is planned to be carried out. This activity may consist of an external visit to a centre. Attendance is mandatory. The teaching staff will inform students of the details once the specific date on which it will take place has been confirmed.


SINGLE ASSESSMENT

Students must complete and submit three types of indivodual evidence:

• An individual written exam in person in the classroom (blocks 1, 2, and 3) on May 19, 2027 for the Bachelor's Degree in Pedagogy and on May 18, 2027 for the Bachelor's Degree in Social Education (51% of the grade).

• Completion (on time, and in the correct manner) and submission via Moodle and/or paper of 3 individual projects/practicalexams (and their multimedia presentations) on May 19, 2027 for the Bachelor's Degree in Pedagogy and on May 18, 2027 for the Bachelor's Degree in Social Education (39% of the grade).

• Completion (quality, on time, and in the correct manner) and submission via Moodle and/or paper of a individual portfolio that integrates ALL classroom activities, contributions/presentations from activities, reflective activities on ad hoc material, etc. on May 19, 2027 for the Bachelor's Degree in Pedagogy and on May 18, 2027.

Completion and passing of the three practical projects/exams (and their multimedia presentations) and the three written exams are essential to pass the course. If students do not present any of these documents/exams, the course will be considered "non-assessable".

The same retake process will be applied as for continuous assessment.

To be eligible to participate in the resit assessment, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight corresponds to at least two-thirds of the total grade for the course.

The retake of the written exam and the submission of the three practical projects/exam will take place on the same day as the retake of the continuous-formative assessment students: 16, 2027 for the Pedagogy degree and on June 15, 2027 for the Social Education degree.

The portfolio, which includes ALL classroom activities, contributions/presentations from activities, reflective activities on ad hoc material, etc., is NOT retakeable due to its nature.

The review of the final grade follows the same procedure as for continuous assessment.

Involvement, initiative, and autonomy in the completion of the various activities will be assessed. Similarly, to pass this course, students must demonstrate good general communicative skills, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language(s) of instruction listed in the course guide. Therefore, in all activities (individual and group), linguistic accuracy, writing, and formal presentation will be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and accurately and demonstrate a high level of comprehension of academictexts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or failed if the instructor considers that it does not meet these requirements.

Copying or plagiarism in any type of assessment activity constitute a serious offence and will be penalised with a grade of 0 for the course, with no possibility of resitting, whether it is an individual or group assignment (in the latter case, all group members will receive a 0). If, during an in‑class exam or individual assignment, the instructor considers that a student is attempting to cheat, or if the student is found with any document or device not authorised by the teaching staff, the activity will be graded with a 0, with no option for resit, and the student will therefore fail the course. An assignment, activity, or exam will be considered “copied” when it reproduces all or a significant part of another student’s work.
