The methodology of this subject is based on its applicability in a concrete reality.

You will dive into the didactics of mathematics starting from a practical context. In this sense, you will become the mathematical godparents of children in Early Childhood Education at l'Escoleta de Bellaterra. During the entire course, you will have one or two children under your care (who will become your godchildren) and you will accompany them for five months.

The main purpose of the course is to design game-based mathematical workshops and spaces that you will share with your classmates and carry out with your godchildren. You will document the design and implementation of each of the workshops and spaces created, collecting evidence of learning and assessment of your godchildren.

Finally, you will draft a comprehensive documentation of the entire process that will be shared with the classroom tutors and the families of the children. Due to the nature of the subject and its practicality, full attendance and involvement are required. You must act with the utmost responsibility and dedication, as every two weeks we will attend l'Escoleta and be in charge of 40 children.

The course follows a cyclical methodology that repeats approximately every 3 weeks. In each cycle, each of the 5 work teams (composed of approximately 6 godparents) will carry out the following tasks:

• Week 1: Design of a workshop or a proposal for mathematical spaces that address the specific school reality of the godchildren.
• Week 2: Implementation with the classmates to improve the proposal.
• Week 3: Implementation of the workshop or the improved proposal of mathematical spaces with the godchildren and their tutors. Collection of learning evidence and evaluation of the session.

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.

The CONTINUOUS assessment will be carried out throughout the entire course through the activities shown below. As can be seen, the evaluation of the course consists of 60% corresponding to individual assessment tasks and 40% corresponding to group assessment tasks.

Assessment tasks	Percentage of the final mark	Workload	Description
Classroom diary (individually)	45%	4 in-class hours + independent work	The students must create a descriptive classroom diary (accompanied by photographs) that shows the teaching-learning process of the godchild. This diary should include the description and analysis of the 6 workshops conducted with the children, providing evidence of the godchild's learning as well as a reflection on the process carried out.	Due date: 11/06/2027.	This activity can be resubmitted. The resit date will be 18/06/2027.
Folder for families (individually)	15%	2 in-class hours + independent work	Students will prepare a folder forthe families that includesa presentation of the godfather or godmother as well as a detailed description of the workshops and spaces conducted, with anobjective interpretation of the teaching-learning process of the child. This folder will be delivered to the families at the end of the school year.	Due date: 11/06/2027.	This activity can be resubmitted. The resit date will be 18/06/2027.
Design and Implementation of workshops and/or spaces (in group)	20%	5 in-class hours + independent work	Each of the 5 working groups will design a workshop proposal or a proposal for game-based mathematical spaces. Each group must present their collective proposal to their classmates and implement it with them in order to gather suggestions for improvement.	The teacher will publish the submission dates for the design and implementation of the workshops and/or learning spaces when publishing the course program, as the dates depend on the school’s schedule. The workshops and/or learning spaces will be submitted every two weeks between April and May 2027.	This activity cannot be resubmitted.
Video summary of the process (in group)	20%	1 in-class hour + independent work	Each of the 5 workgroups will create a short 5-minute video that showcases a compilation of learning evidence carried out by the godchild. The group must present the video to the rest of their peers, and a 360 evaluation will be conducted (self-assessment, peer-assessment, and evaluation by the teacher).	Due date: 11/06/2027.	This activity cannot be resubmitted.

RETAKE

Students who do not obtain a grade of 5 or higher in the classroom diary may take a retake exam that will account for 40% of the course grade, replacing the grade from the classroom diary. The maximum grade for the retake exam will always be 5. This retake exam will be held on the 18/06/2027.

Students who do not obtain a grade of 5 or higher in the folder for families may take a retake exam that will account for 15% of the course grade, replacing the grade for the folder for families submitted. The maximum grade for the retake will always be 5. This retake exam will be held on 18/06/2027.

CALCULATION OF THE SUBJECT MARK:

The final course marke is the weighted average of the evaluation activities highlighted above with the following conditions:

• To be eligible for the weighted average calculation with the other course grades, students must obtain a minimum grade of 5 in the Descriptive Classroom Journal and the Portfolio for Families, or, where applicable, in their resit assessments. If a student does not obtain a minimum grade of 5, they will not pass the course and the final course grade will be 3.
• Late submission of assessment activities will result in a grade of 0 for the corresponding activity.
• To be assessed, students must submit at least 75% of the assessable tasks. Students who do not submit at least 75% of the assessable tasks will be classified as “Not Assessed” (NA).
• Assessment activities are not eligible for resubmission under any circumstances, except for the Descriptive Classroom Journal and the Portfolio for Families.
• Even if students obtain a grade higher than 5 in the Descriptive Classroom Journal and the Portfolio for Families, or in their respective resit assessments, if the weighted average of all grades does not reach 5, they will not pass the course and the final grade recorded on their academic transcript will be 3.
• Class attendance is compulsory. A maximum of 20% absence/incidents in class sessions will be permitted.

The student, at the same time, must take into account the following regulatory considerations regarding evaluation:

• Regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence, the course will follow Model 2 - Restricted Use: For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or information searches and the correction of texts or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts were generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this evaluable activity will be considered abreach of academic honesty and may result in a partialor total penalty on the activity's grade, or more severe sanctions in cases of gravity.
• All evaluation activities are mandatory for all students.
• The mark for a group submission is not necessarily the individual mark for each student in that group.
• Students who are not physically present in the seminar session where the implementation of the workshop/designed spaces is presented or in the presentation of the summary video of the process, will receive a maximum grade of 5 for that activity.

To pass this course, it is necessary for the student to demonstrate good general communicative competence, both oral and written, and a good command of the vehicular language specified in the course syllabus. In all activities (individual and group), linguistic accuracy, writing, and formal presentation aspects will therefore be taken into account.

Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly anddemonstrate a high degree of comprehension of academictexts. The student must demonstrate a competence equivalent to level 2 (equivalent to C2). Before submitting learning evidence, it is necessary to verify that the sources, notes, direct quotes, and bibliographic references have been correctly written according to APA 7 guidelines.

Total or partial plagiarism of any evaluation activity and/or copying during an evaluation test is grounds for failing the course. Copying or plagiarizing any type of evaluation activity constitutes a crime, penalized with a 0 as the grade for the subject, losing the possibility of recovering it, whether it is an individual or group work (in this case, all group members will receive a 0).

The return and grading of evaluation activities will be done within a maximum of 15 business days after submission.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT and SYNTHESIS ASSESSMENT

THERE WILL BE NO SINGLE ASSESSMENT OR SYNTHESIS ASSESSMENT for this subject due to its predominantly practical nature. It is recommended that students repeating the course ensure their temporal availability to attend it regularly, if necessary, avoiding enrolling in other courses from different programs that are held on the same day in the same time slot.
