 - This course includes activities for the development of the Digital Teaching Competence (A2).

The assessment of the course Social Context and School Management must allow for the verification of the achievement of the identified competencies. It must also take into account the overall design of the subject and its methodological guidelines.

Assessment is continuous and final.

Continuous assessment (50%)

Continuous assessment, formative in nature, is organized into two content blocks and includes the following assessment components:

🔹 Block 1 (25%)

• Evidence 1. Group seminar assignment → 15%
• Evidence 2. Individual reading assignment → 10%

🔹 Block 2 (25%)

• Evidence 3. Pair assignment set in class → 15%
• Evidence 4. Individual seminar evidence (4 activities) → 10%

Final assessment (50%)

The final assessment consists of two written examinations of a summative nature, one for each block:

• Evidence 5. Written exam for Block 1 → 25%. Date: October 27
• Evidence 6. Written exam for Block 2 → 25%. Date: January 12

Exam schedule:

• Group 61: from 8:30 to 10:30
• Group 62: from 16:00 to 18:00

To pass the course, students must obtain an average mark of 5 or higher. In order to calculate the average, a minimum mark of 5 must be obtained in each assessment component.

A student will be considered Not Assessed (NA) if they do not attend any of the assessment components (written exams, individual assignments and/or group work).

Students must demonstrate an attitude compatible with the teaching profession, including commitment and responsibility in group work, respect, participation, active listening, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, and the ability to argue ideas. It is also essential to use electronic devices (mobile phone, computer, tablet, etc.) appropriately in the classroom. These devices may only be used for activities related to the course.

Students may retake any failed assessment activities, provided that they have previously been assessed through a set of activities accounting for at least two-thirds of the course assessment evidence.

If the written examination for Block 1 (Assessment Evidence 5) and/or the written examination for Block 2 (Assessment Evidence 6), or the single-assessment examination, is not passed, a resit examination will be offered on 26 January, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. (Group 61) and from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. (Group 62).

To be eligible for resit, students must have obtained a minimum initial mark of 3.5 in the course. The deadline for submitting resit components will coincide with the date of the corresponding test (October 27 for Block 1 and January 12 for Block 2). In the case of group or pair assignments, the submission date will be January 26.

If the resit is not passed, the grade obtained in the failed component will be recorded in the academic transcript.

Attendance is compulsory. A minimum of 80% attendance is required; otherwise, seminar activities will be considered not submitted. All assessment tasks must be submitted within the deadlines established by the teaching staff.

Grades will be published on Moodle or SIGMA within 20 working days. Students may review their grades during office hours within 15 days after publication.

All assessment activities are subject to formal criteria: spelling, writing quality, and presentation. Teaching staff may fail or lower the grade of any assignment that does not meet minimum academic standards. Rigor, conceptual accuracy, clarity and coherence of expression, and linguistic adequacy will be assessed.

Students must be able to express themselves fluently and accurately and demonstrate a high level of comprehension of academic texts. An assignment may be returned (not assessed) or failed if it does not meet these requirements.

It should be noted that, for the Catalan language, students in the 1st and 2nd years are required to have a competence equivalent to Level 1, and from the 3rd year onwards, Level 2 for Early Childhood and Primary Education teachers.

Copying or plagiarism, whether in assignments or exams, constitutes a serious offence and may result in failing the course. A piece of work is considered “copied” when it reproduces all or part of another student’s work. It is considered “plagiarised” when a text is presented as one’s own without citing sources. This also includes the improper use of artificial intelligence tools.

The Moodle platform includes the URKUND tool to detect similarity percentages. The use of APA (7th edition) guidelines is recommended.

Use of AI. In this course, the use of artificial intelligence technologies is allowed exclusively for support tasks. Students must clearly identify their use, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection. Lack of transparency will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will result in a penalty, with a maximum grade of 4 (fail).

Single assessment

The course offers the option of a single assessment, which must be requested within the established deadlines and communicated to the teaching staff at the beginning of the course.

It will consist of:

• Block 1 exam → 40%
• Block 2 exam → 40%
• Social Context activity → 10%
• School Management activity → 10%

The date will be January 12. Activities must be submitted on the same day. If not passed, a resit will take place on January 26, with the same schedule depending on the group. The grade review will follow the same procedure as continuous assessment
