The teaching methodology of the course is aimed at fostering autonomy and critical attitude. The aim is for the student to formulate relevant reflections on motivational and affective processes, and to propose strategies aimed at responding to these reflections (carrying out empirical guided activities - Laboratory Experiments). It is convenient for the student to be proactive searching for information related to the current state of research in psychology of motivation and affective processes, and to share this information, contributing to a collaborative learning space. Those contents that by their nature allow it, are approached from a gender perspective. Likewise, egalitarian participation will be promoted throughout the course.

The guided teaching of this subject is structured in a cycle of conferences supported by multimedia materials, which are done in large groups, and in seminars and laboratory practices, which are done in small groups. In the laboratory practices, the student carries out a series of experiments, in which he obtains data that he must interpret in relation to the concepts and theories that have been dealt with in the conferences and seminars. On the other hand, the seminars will be orientated basically to the following formative activities:

• Analysis, clarification and discussion of the concepts and theories presented by the conference speakers.
• Preparation for the integration tests of the course.
• Analysis of cases.

Teaching innovation:

• Some of the directed and autonomous activities will incorporate gamification activities.
• Some of the seminars will be held in outdoor spaces on campus, within the framework of the teaching innovation project "MOTEMO OUTDOOR", at the discretion of the teaching staff and subject to the weather and logistical conditions that make it possible.
• Theory classes are structured in lectures and the flipped classroom methodology is used.

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 assessment of the subject contains evidence of individual learning, and is done in accordance with the assessment guidelines of the Faculty of Psychology.

Practices and cases reports:

• Practice and cases reports (motivation): They consist of the interpretation of results and the discussion of the two motivation laboratory practices (PLAB1 and PLAB2), as well as the analysis of motivation cases (SEM1). Together they will have a value of 15% of the grade.
• Practice and cases reports (emotion): They consist of the interpretation of results and the discussion of the two emotion laboratory practices (PLAB3 and PLAB4), as well as the analysis of emotion cases (SEM3). Together they will have a value of 15% of the grade.

Partial integration tests:

• At the end of each of the thematic blocks of the subject (motivation and emotion), an integration test will be carried out (EV2 and EV4, respectively), coinciding with the weeks of evaluation. These tests will be aimed at highlighting the student’s ability to inegrate and apply the concepts and theories worked on in the analysis of human behavior with respect to the psychological processes studied in the subject.

Definition of evaluable student: It is considered assessed when the student has submitted evidence of learning with a weight equal to or greater than 40% of the final grade.

Definition of subject surpassed: You must obtain a weighted average of all evidence equal to or greater than 5.0 and have obtained at least 4,0 points (on a scale of 10) in each of the face-to-face assessment tests (integration tests; evidence EV2 and EV4). In case of not meeting these requirements, the maximum grade to be recorded in the academic record will be 4,5 points. Final scores between 4,85 and 4,99 will be rounded to 5,0.

Recovery: A final recovery of all evidence is planned, which the student can access if he/she has not achieved the passing criteria for the subject and has completed evidence with a weight equal to or greater than 2/3 of the total grade. In this final recovery, the tests necessary to pass the subject can be carried out. In the event that the student passes the subject as a result of participation in the recovery, the final grade will be 5 points.

Synthesis test for second-year students: It is not expected that students from2nd or later yearswill be assessed by means of a single, non-retrievable synthesis test.

Evidence Code	Name	Weigth	Format	Authorship	Via	Week	Feedback
EV1	Practices and case reports (motivation)	15%	Written	Individual	Virtual asynchronous (online form)	3-6	email (weeks 3-6)
EV2	Integration test (psychology of motivation)	35%	Written	Individual	Face-to-face	7 (First assessment period)	Solutions - virtual classroom (week 7)
EV3	Practices and case reports (emotion)	15%	Written	Individual	Virtual asynchronous (onlie form)	12-16	(week 18)
EV4	Integration test (psychology of emotion)	35%	Written	Individual	Face-to-face	19 (Second assessment period)	Solutions - virtual classroom (week 19)

Unique evaluation: THE UNIQUE EVALUATION IS REQUESTED TELEMATICALLY (E-FORM) DURING THE SPECIFIC PERIOD (more information on the Faculty's website)

• Description: It will consist of the same evidence that constitutes the general model of continuous assessment of the subject.
• Timing: All the evidence can be submitted in a single event coinciding with the date of the integration test of the second evaluation period planned for the subject according to the Faculty of Psychology's calendar.
• Duration: 3h (corresponding to partial synthesis tests EV2 and EV4)
• Recovery: The same recovery system as for the continuous assessment will be applied.
• Weight: The same as the continuous assessment.
• Review: The review of the final grade follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.

Copy or plagiarism: According to Art 266, point10 UAB Regulations, in the event that the student makes any irregularity (copy, plagiarism, ...) that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be qualified with 0. In the event of several irregularities in the learning evidence, the final grade will be 0.

Translation of exams: All activities associated with the assessment process are delivered to the student in digital format in Catalan. Translation by the teaching team is not expected, but the student can use digital automatic translation tools if their request is made electronically in week 4 (e-form). They can also make linguistic consultations to the teaching team, and additional time is provided for the delivery of in-person evidence for these translation tasks and/or linguistic consultation.

Attendance and completion of activities: Attendance at the 4 scheduled lab practices, as well as completion of the planned activity, is mandatory to carry out the associated learning evidence (practice reports). Completion of the activity provided for in the SEM2 and SEM4 seminars, in face-to-face or virtual mode, is mandatory in order to carry out the associated learning evidence (case reports).

Translation of assessment activities: All activities associated with the assessment process are delivered to the student in digital format in Catalan. Translation by the teaching team is not expected, but the student can use digital automatic translation tools, can make linguistic consultations to the teaching team, and additional time is contemplated for the delivery of in-person evidence for these translation tasks and/or linguistic consultation.

AI use: Restricted use: in this subject the use of generative artificial intelligence is allowed in all activities apart from the two integration tests (Evidences EV2 and EV4) where its use is expressly prohibited.
