The teaching methodologies of the education subject share a perspective that emphasizes the pedagogical relationship and the co-construction of knowledge. Narrative and narrative inquiry will drive teaching practice, incorporating everyday knowledge and otherness in the learning and textual production processes, which will have both an individual and a collective format. This approach is nourished by expanded pedagogy, understanding that learning also occurs in affects, bodies, and non-formal spaces.

The subject combines theoretical and practical classes around the reading and discussion of texts and the carrying out of exercises in the sessions. These sessions aim to provide the conceptual tools to understand the power of narratives and to practice writing as a tool for transformation. Furthermore, the teaching of narrative techniques (character construction, world-building, narrative structure, voice, point of view) will be sought, along with reflection on how narrative form can be a political and dissident practice.

The methodology is based on Project-Based Learning (PBL) and narrative inquiry. The final project, which is developed throughout the course, allows students to apply theoretical and narrative tools to the creation of an alternative educational proposal. After initial individual work, practical evaluations during classes, the construction of a diary, and expository classes by the teaching staff, students, in groups, will have to choose a project to develop. The professors will provide the materials that will be the starting point for the projects. These projects will be developed in phases and include the following tasks:

• Readings and reflections based on the class texts.
• Information search and construction of a historical research problem.
• Creative fabulation and narrative of new ways of inhabiting education.
• Oral presentations of the works by the students.

Two mentoring sessions will be held for the final evaluation and one tutorial for the intermediate evaluation.

About the sessions:

The subject will be developed through face-to-face sessions, tutorials, and autonomous work.

The face-to-face sessions intend the participation of the whole group, as practical and theoretical activities will be carried out during the classes, according to the calendar that will be published on the Virtual Campus at the beginning of the course.

In the face-to-face sessions, the active participation of the student group in the analysis and discussion of the proposed topics will be valued.

Autonomous work:

In the subject, students will be encouraged to follow the course readings, search for bibliographic references of their own interest, investigate information, observe, and write, among other things.

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.

Continuous assessment activities

At the time of each assessment activity, the teaching staff will inform the students, through the Virtual Campus, of the assessment procedure and the date for reviewing the grades.

The grades for each assessment activity will be published on the Virtual Campus within a maximum period of three weeks from the date of submission or completion of the activity.

General assessment criteria:

• Honesty and vulnerability in writing.
• Ability to connect personal experience with theoretical and literary texts.
• Reflective depth and ability to formulate open questions.
• Narrative quality and creativity.
• Active participation in discussions and collective work.

Exchange students who request to advance the submission of any assessable activity or the oral presentation of the final project for mobility reasons must present to the teaching staff a written document from their home university justifying their request.

Reassessment

In accordance with the Faculty regulations, to be entitled to reassessment of an assessable activity, the student must have been previously assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total grade for the subject.

In this subject, only the following activities are considered reassessable:

• Activity 2 (Individual essay)
• Activity 3 (Collective project)

Only those students who have been assessed in both (Activity 2 and Activity 3) will be able to access the reassessment of these activities, since their combined weight meets the minimum requirement established by the regulations.

Reassessment conditions:

• Only activities that have been submitted and have obtained a grade lower than 5 may be reassessed.
• Activities not submitted or with a grade of 0 cannot be reassessed.
• Activities 1 (Text presentation) and 4 (Reflection diary) are not reassessable under any circumstances.

Since the UAB academic regulations establish that the final grade for the subject is expressed with one decimal place, the rounding established in the UAB Academic Regulations (article 266, point 4) will be applied: if a student obtains a 4.9 as a final grade for continuous assessment, this value will be rounded up to 5 and, therefore, the student will not have to take the reassessment.

Not assessable

In accordance with the Faculty regulations, a student will be considered "Not assessable" if they have not submitted assessment activities that constitute, as a whole, more than 30% of the total grade for the subject.

In this subject, the weights of the continuous assessment activities are as follows:

• Activity 1 (Text presentation): 10%
• Activity 2 (Individual essay): 30%
• Activity 3 (Collective project): 40%
• Activity 4 (Reflection diary): 20%

Therefore, those students who, when adding up the percentages of the submitted activities, obtain a result equal to or less than 30%, will receive the grade of "Not assessable".

Single assessment: This subject does not include the single assessment modality. The assessments are integrated into a narrative and relational continuity with the classes, so that the creation process is assessed and not only the final product.

Academic integrity

Any irregularity in an assessment activity (plagiarism, fraud, identity impersonation, unauthorized use of artificial intelligence, etc.) will automatically result in a grade of zero (0) in that activity and will entail the loss of the right to reassess it. If several irregularities are detected in different activities throughout the course, the final grade for the subject will be zero (0), regardless of the grades obtained in the rest of the activities.

AI

Restricted use: For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks such as text correction, translations, or other specific situations that must be agreed upon with the teaching staff through a tutorial. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in assessable activities will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade for the activity, or greater sanctions in cases of seriousness.
