Students play an active role in the teaching and learning process. For this reason, the course methodology combines lectures, applied seminars, case analysis, cooperative work, the design of socio-educational proposals, recorded simulation and individual reflection.

Theoretical sessions will introduce the key concepts and reference frameworks. Seminars and applied activities will address needs, resources, contexts and intervention strategies with children, adolescents and young people.

Practical work will focus on the design of a socio-educational programme, the development of an applied product, the simulation of a professional situation and reflection on the role of the social educator.

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.

General criteria for continuous and single assessment

The course is professionally oriented and requires active student participation in theoretical, practical and simulation sessions. Attendance is therefore compulsory in both assessment modalities: continuous and single assessment. Choosing single assessment does not exempt students from compulsory attendance.

To pass the course, students must:

• Submit all assessment evidence.
• Obtain a minimum mark of 5 out of 10 in each item of evidence.
• Attend at least 80% of the sessions.

The final mark will only be calculated if students have submitted all assessment evidence and meet the requirements established to pass the course.

Students will be considered Not assessable when they have not provided sufficient assessment evidence to allow for an overall mark for the course. In this course, this will specifically apply when one or more compulsory assessment items have not been submitted, both in continuous assessment and in single assessment.

If any item of evidence receives a mark below 5, the course cannot be passed, even if the weighted average is 5 or higher.

Only absences duly documented due to illness, force majeure or other unforeseen circumstances accepted by the teaching staff will be considered justified. Assessment evidence must be completed on the established dates. Late submissions or activities will not be accepted, except in duly justified circumstances accepted by the teaching staff.

The use of generative artificial intelligence technologies is permitted only as a support tool for initial information searches, linguistic correction and text translation. These technologies may not be used to generate, wholly or partly, assessment answers, case analyses, simulation scripts, intervention proposals, personal reflections or oral presentations.

Students must identify any use of these tools, specify the technology used and state its purpose. Responsibility for the accuracy, quality, authorship and appropriateness of the submitted content always lies with the student.

The teaching staff will communicate the marks, feedback or comments on assessment activities within a period not exceeding 20 working days of the academic calendar from their completion or submission, always ensuring the necessary time before recovery assessment activities, where applicable.

Unauthorised or undeclared use of generative AI in an assessable activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will result in a mark of 0 for the affected item of evidence. In cases of repeated or particularly serious misconduct, the measures established in the university’s current academic regulations will apply. The use of artificial intelligence tools during written tests, oral activities and assessable simulations is not permitted unless expressly authorised by the teaching staff.

To pass the course, students must demonstrate adequate oral and written communicative competence and a good command of the language or languages of instruction. Linguistic accuracy, clarity of expression and formal presentation will be taken into account in all activities.

Continuous assessment

Continuous assessment will be carried out through the following evidence:

Evidence / Description / Weight
EV1	Individual applied test on the core contents of the course. Date: 14/01/2027.	40%
EV2	Design, applied product and recorded simulation of a socio-educational programme aimed at children, adolescents or young people. Group work with an individualisable mark. Submission date: 30/11/2026.	45%
EV3	Individual professional field notebook. Submission date: 14/12/2026.	15%

EV2 working groups will generally consist of 6 students, unless the teaching staff authorises a different composition. The EV2 mark will initially be a group mark, but it may be individualised according to participation, involvement, the role undertaken, self-assessment, peer assessment and demonstrated knowledge of the overall proposal.

Single assessment

Students who choose single assessment will be assessed through activities equivalent to those used in continuous assessment, adapted to the individual nature of this modality. Single assessment will take place on 14/01/2027.

Activity / Weight
Individual applied test on the core contents of the course	40%
Individual design of a socio-educational programme aimed at children, adolescents or young people	30%
Applied product and justification of the proposed intervention	15%
Applied resolution of a professional case or situation and professional reflection linked to the designed programme	15%

Given the concentrated nature of single assessment, the teaching staff may require one or more activities to be carried out wholly or partly in oral format, before one or two lecturers, in order to verify authorship, command of the contents and the ability to apply them to socio-educational situations.

Single assessment does not reduce the academic requirements of the course; it concentrates, in a single assessment session, the accreditation of the same learning outcomes established for continuous assessment.

Recovery

Recovery assessment will take place on 28/01/2027.

To access the recovery assessment of an item of evidence, students must previously have taken part in the corresponding ordinary assessment activity. Students who do not take part in an ordinary assessment activity may not recover it later, except in duly justified cases accepted in accordance with current academic regulations.

Only students who have previously taken part in the corresponding ordinary assessment activity and have not achieved the required minimum mark may access recovery assessment.

Recovery assessment cannot be used to improve a mark. The maximum mark that may be obtained for a recovered item of evidence is 5 out of 10.

The dates indicated in this course guide correspond to the planned organisation of the course and the assessment calendar established by the faculty. Any necessary organisational adjustment will be communicated to students in advance.
