Objectives
Presentation:

Although emphasising the didactic training, the musical and cultural training of the students will be taken into account as a foundation of a good teacher’s training.
Goals:
- To develop abilities and knowledge to discover, understand and enjoy music and to use it in the classrooms
- To develop resources that ensure different music education learning situations
- To acquire criteria on early childhood music education as a foundation of communication and as a basic learning tool
- To observe and analyse musical experiences of 0 to 6 year-old-children in order to understand the role of music in their development
- To design, implement and evaluate musical activities
Learning outcomes

Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral test: songs and nursery rhymes (individual) | 20% | 0 | 0 | 4, 8 |
| Interdisciplinary project Music, movement and other areas (grupal) | 20% | 0 | 0 | 1, 3, 5, 6, 13, 14, 16 |
| Music didactic resources: planning and praxis (in group) | 15% | 0 | 0 | 7, 9, 11, 12 |
| Interdisciplinary project: Music, movement and other areas (individual) | 20% | 0 | 0 | 10 |
| Didactic concert (individual) | 10% | 0 | 0 | 2, 10, 15 |
| Didactic resources through music: practice and reflexion (individual) | 15% | 0 | 0 | 6, 10 |
The assessment consists of different sections, each of which must be passed independently with a score of 3 or higher to calculate the final grade.
Attendance at the sessions is highly recommended, as they are entirely practical and applied, and they develop the necessary skills.
Attitude and active participation during the teaching and learning process are also essential and are part of the evaluation criteria for the activities.
Finally, the student must demonstrate, in the activities proposed to him, good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the Catalan language. In all activities, linguistic correctness, writing and formal aspects of presentation will therefore be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or not passed if the teacher considers that it does not meet this requirement. As detailed in the instructions for the tasks (in Moodle), spelling mistakes are penalized.
The planned schedule of deliveries and evaluation actions is as follows:
Group 61:
- October 5: Teaching resources based on music (group)
- October 12 (online): Teaching resources based on music (individual)
- October 26: Interdisciplinary Project Script
- November 23 and 30: Interdisciplinary Project Practice
- December 14: Auditorium Exit and didactic concert evaluation
- December 9: Interdisciplinary Project Final Work
- December 21: Oral Song Test
Group 62:
- October 6: Teaching resources based on music (group)
- October 13: Teaching resources based on music (individual)
- October 20: Interdisciplinary Project Script
- December 15: Auditorium Trip and evaluation Didactic Concert
- November 17 and 24: Interdisciplinary Project Practice
- December 9: Interdisciplinary Project Final Work
- December 22: Oral Song Test
The results of each of the evaluation evidence will be returned to the students within a maximum period of 20 days after their delivery, and a review date will be offered the following days.
There are 2 activities that can be recovered in case of being failed. These are the following: Teaching resources (both individual and group tasks) and the Oral Test, which will be held on January 19th from 18:30 - 20:30
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage. Any work that includes AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty in the activity's grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases. In the event that the student makes any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluationact (such as plagiarism), this evaluation act will be rated 0.
The student will receive the grade of \"Not evaluable\" as long as they have not submitted more than 30% of the evaluation activities.
SINGLE EVALUATION:
For the single assessment, all the assessment evidence provided for in the continuous assessment must be submitted individually on December 21 (group 61) and December 22 (group 62). The same recovery system, on the 19th January 18:30-20:30, will be applied as for the continuous assessment, and the review of the final grade follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.
