The course Practicum 1 of the Primary Education Degree is a module formed by different formative activities with an exploratory purpose. It is oriented towards the global analysis of social and educational reality.

The Faculty administration will assign a maximum of 5 students to each of the schools assigned to the UAB. The students assigned to the same school will constitute a working team that operates collectively in all the group activities of the course.

Students registered in one academic group will be divided in different schools and will have a tutor of the Faculty.

This course includes activities for the development of the Teaching Digital Competence.

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 subject does not include the single assessment system.

This subject does not allow a synthesis test for students enrolling for the second time.

The evaluation of the subject Practicum I must confirm the achievement of the competencies outlined in this guide. It must also take into account the overall design of the subject and its methodological guidelines. The evaluation consists of a series of indicators that must be considered:

1. Final Report. This accounts for 45% of the evaluation and represents a descriptive, analytical, and reflective synthesis of the various activities, research, and observations carried out throughout Practicum I. The evaluation of the final report includes an individual assessment component, based on an individually authored piece, which may be requested for in-person completion, and the group journal (which must document aspects of the organization, planning, and execution of the work, each member’s contribution, and an evaluation of the group dynamics). The final report grade will be individual. The submission date for the final report is June 11, 2027.

2. Tutorials, seminars, and project presentations. These represent 20% of the evaluation and will be individually assessed. They involve supervision and follow-up by faculty members of certain practical and methodological activities, attendance and participation in plenary meetings to share, assess, and analyze the information collected at the various schools and their contexts, and the project presentation in class on June 7, 2027.

3. School report. This accounts for 35% of the evaluation and must be issued by the mentor responsible for the student team. If the student has not met the minimum attendance requirement at the school, the evaluation will be recorded as \"Not assessable.\"

To pass this subject, the student must obtain a minimum score of five ineach of the evaluated components (final report, tutorials, seminars, presentations, and school report). In addition, for the student to be evaluated, they must demonstrate an attitude compatible with the teaching profession and meet the following minimum requirements:

• Have met the requirements of the calendar and assumed the assigned responsibilities.
• Have shown respect for all members of the educational community.
• Have respected the school’s rules (schedule, mobile phone use, dress code, etc.).
• Have used the language of instruction in accordance with the school’s guidelines.

Students must demonstrate an attitude compatible with the profession. If this is not the case, at any point during the placement, both the placement center and the university may decide that the student must discontinue their placement. In such cases, there will be contact between the faculty and the school, which will prepare a reasoned report justifying the interruption of the placement, showing that the student cannot continue. If this occurs, the student will automatically fail the practicum (numerical grade: 3).

All evaluated tasks carried out during the course must be submitted within the deadlines indicated by the faculty in the program.

The grades for the final report will be available within twenty working days after submission.

Attendance at seminars is mandatory. Otherwise, the student will be considered “Not assessable.” Justification for absence only explains the absence; it does not excuse non-attendance.

To pass this course, students must demonstrate good overall communication skills, both oral and written, as well as a strong command of the language or languages of instruction specified in the course guide.

Please note that, in the case of the Catalan language, students in 1st and 2nd year must demonstrate language competence equivalent to Level 1 for Early Childhood and Primary Education Teachers. From the 3rd year onward, students must demonstrate competence equivalent to Level 2 for Early Childhood and Primary Education Teachers. (More information about these levels: https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/graus/graus/competencia-linguistica-1345737529755.html)

Copying or plagiarism, whether in assignments or exams, constitutes academic misconduct and may result in a failing grade for the subject. A piece of work, activity, or exam will be considered “copied” when it reproduces all or part of another student’s work. It will be considered “plagiarized” when part of a text from an author is presented as one’s own without citing the source, whether from print or digital formats. If total or partial plagiarism is detected in any assessment activity, the subject will be failed immediately, and the numerical grade will be a 3. (More information on plagiarism: https://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html)

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integrated part of the work, provided that the final result clearly reflects a significant contribution by the student in terms of personal analysis and reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts were generated using such technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and the final outcome. Lack of transparencyinthe use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty and may lead to a grade penalty or, depending on the severity of the offence, to a mark of 4 points (failure) and hence to not passing the subject.

This subject cannot be recovered in the case of a negative placement report issued by the school and/or if the student displays an attitude incompatible with the teaching profession. In other cases, the faculty may require an individual report to recover the individual grade for the practicum report (Submission deadline: 3rd of July).
