This subject will work with learning based on projects and challenges (ABPr, ABR) with a transdisciplinary background. In other words, the projects will integrate knowledge and cases from different disciplines, from a holistic and transversal perspective.

Each student will complete the annual compulsory project, plus three projects (one in each term).

Project-based learning is a didactic methodology of growing interest in teaching, both because of the abundant evidence of its effectiveness, and because it allows us to comprehensively address some of the challenges posed by the adaptation of teaching to the needs of European Higher Education Space (challenges such as the planning of student work inside and outside the classroom, or the development of transversal competences).

The center of the teaching/learning process is the student and under this premise the course has been planned.

Thus, the methodology will focus on three types of sessions. On the one hand there will be sessions with the whole group of classes, with different types of support, and transdisciplinary activities. On the other hand, there will be activities in smaller groups in seminar or laboratory sessions.

All this will allow us to apply the knowledge imparted, the analysis and resolution of cases and practical problems, the carrying out of small investigations and experimentations; allowing students to build their own critical vision of the world and society in which we live.

Finally, some field trips will be carried out directly related to the projects worked on to learn directly and applied the related contents, and it may be that some of them involve a cost (e.g. cost of entry to an exhibition) by the students, which will always be tried to be as minimal as possible.

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 this subject will be carried out throughout the academic year via the specified activities.

In each term, a different project will be carried out in groups of 3 or 4 students; therefore, 50% of the final module mark will be based on teamwork. Each project will also be accompanied by a written examination to individually evaluate the essential knowledge associated with the project (25%). An additional 25% of the mark will be based on the individual project “A subject, a Biography, a Journey”.

To pass this subject, it is essential to 1) obtain a minimum grade of 4/10 in the written test of each project and 2) present the annual individual project "A topic, a biography, a journey" and obtain a minimum grade of 4/10 in this project.

Regarding the project “A subject, a Biography, a Journey please note the following:

a) The writing must adhere correctly to the rules of grammar and spelling. Otherwise, 2 points will be deducted from the activity grade.

b) If the activity is submitted after the deadline (without justification), 2 points will be deducted from the activity grade.

c) Attendance at a minimum of 2 tutorial sessions is mandatory; otherwise, the project activity will not be evaluated.

d) Failure to submit the project (or failing it with a grade lower than 4) will result in a failure in the entire module "Looking at the World: Transdisciplinary Projects".

e) This project is closely linked to attendance at and active participation in the sessions of the various projects. Failure to do so will have a negative impact on the outcome of this project.

In order to be able to access to second chance examination, a minimum total grade of 3.5 is required for the subject. In order to participate in the this second change exam, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two-thirds of the subject's total grade.

The individual exams of the different projects and the anual project will be recoverable. There will be an exam and a delivery of an enhanced anual project.

It will be considered "non-assessable" when the student has not been able to provide sufficient evaluation evidence to allow for an overall grade for the subject, that is, has not provided a minimum of 50% of the evaluation work.

This subject does not include the single evaluation system or synthesis test.

Each quarterly project will have three deliveries, and the different delivery dates throughout the course will be as follows:

First term project:

-Monday groups: 28/9/26; 26/10/26; 9/11/26

-Wednesday groups: 30/09/26; 21/10/26; 4/11/26

-Friday groups: 9/10/26; 30/10/26; 13/11/2

Second term project:

-Monday groups: 7/12/26; 11/1/27; 15/02/27

-Wednesday groups: 2/12/26; 13/01/27; 17/02/27

-Friday groups: 11/12/26; 15/1/27; 19/2/27

Third term project:

-Monday groups: 15/3/27; 19/4/27; 3/5/27

-Wednesday groups: 17/3/27; 14/4/27; 28/4/27

-Friday groups: 19/3/27; 16/4/27; 7/5/27

Each quarterly project will have an individual examination and the different delivery dates throughout the course will be as follows:

Monday groups: 2/11/26 (first term project examination), 18/01/27 (second term project examination), 26/04/27 (third term project examination)

Wednesday groups: 28/10/26 (first term project examination), 20/01/27 (second term project examination), 21/04/27 (third term project examination)

Friday groups: 6/11/26 (first term project examination), 22/01/27 (second term project examination), 30/04/27 (third term project examination)

The annual project will consist of two delivery dates and will be as follows:

January 11th, 2027

May 31st, 2027

Recovery date:

Monday 21th or/and Wednesday 23th of June 2027

Attendance, active participation in classes and knowing how to work in a team in an autonomous and responsible way are essential aspects to ensure a good result in this project-based learning subject.

The grade of the subject is obtained by averaging the grades of the various activities according to the weighting values shown. To pass the subject, a minimum of 5 must be obtained in the final grade. Failure to complete any of the assessment activities is a zero in that activity.

The grades for each of the assessment evidences will be made public on Moodle within 20 working days of their delivery. The student who wants to review the grade must do so within 15 days of its publication, during the tutoring hours established by the teaching staff for this subject.

The subject does not save part notes, from one course to another.

All evaluable activities will be subject to formal criteria, including spelling, writing and presentation. The teaching staff may suspend or lower the grade of the activity that they consider does not meet the academic minimums in the aspects mentioned.

Copying or plagiarizing material, both in the case of assignments and in the case of exams, constitutes a crime that will be sanctioned with a zero in the activity. In case of recidivism, the entire subject will be suspended.

Remember that a work that reproduces all or a large part of someone else's work is considered a "copy". "Plagiarism" is the act of presenting all or part of an author's text as one's own, without citing the sources, whether on paper or in digital format.

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in partial or total penalization of the activity’s grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases. Specific validations will be carried out to guarantee authorship and the acquisition of skills in the event of suspicion of academic fraud.

Let us remember that, in the case of the Catalan language for the Early Childhood and Primary Education Degrees, in the first and second years students are required to have a linguistic competence equivalent to level C1 and that from the 3rd year of the degree the student must have shown a competence equivalent to level C2.
