Objectives

OBJECTIVES OF THE SPECIALTY (E6)

1) To analyze in a critical, integral and innovative way the process of "construction" of identities and diversity, contemplating research and innovation in languages, discourses and representations of art, body and movement.

2) To study motor skills, art, relationships, space and play, among others, from the field of research and educational innovation.

 

OBJECTIVES OF THE MODULE FROM ACTION TO CREATION IN INNOVATION AND RESEARCH:

The configuration of the proposal is proposed through the interaction between psychomotricity and visual arts. It is intended to expose, analyze, contrast and reflect on different conceptual approaches to research in which, starting from action, play, experimentation and movement, we arrive at thought, representation and creation.

The content blocks of this module are shaped from the following approaches:

□ The body, play and psychomotor skills provide and build integral and global creation processes through various forms of expression and communication of multiple artistic languages.

□ Integral and global creation processes are enriched when they are carried out through innovative and inclusive studies and projects of educational interventions from interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity.

 

The following topics will be covered in this module:

□ Body, play and psychomotor skills.

□ Artistic languages

□ Creation process

□ Interdisciplinary, innovative and inclusive projects.

 

OBJECTIVES

. Analyze data according to their nature and elaborate results according to the purposes of the research.

. Apply in the field of educational research perspectives and creative strategies to innovate in physical, artistic and psychomotor education.

. Plan research according to problems related to practice, taking into account the theoretical advances in the fieldof knowledge.

. Recognize and relate the theoretical, empirical and social aspects of the specific domain of research.

. Have knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often in a research context.

. Work in teams and teams from the same field or interdisciplinary teams.

Contents

During this course, which is approached through the interaction between psychomotor skills and visual arts, the aim is to expose, analyze, contrast and reflect on different conceptual approaches to innovation and research, in which, starting from action, play, experimentation, perception and movement, we arrive at thinking, representation and creation. Innovative educational methodologies and research in education will be analyzed through the following topics:


Body, play and psychomotor skills.


   The importance of the body


   Play as a source of pleasure and learning


   Psychomotor education


Artistic languages


   Artistic languages: musical, corporal, visual and plastic.


   Competences they develop


   Importance in the formation of the person


Creative process


   Structure and methodology


   The role of the adult or educator


Interdisciplinary, innovative and inclusive projects


   Design and characteristics


   Analysis of projects in formal and non-formal settings

Student's autonomous work 94 3.76 CA49, CA50, CA51, CA52, KA52, KA53, SA38, SA39
Tutoring and support 36 1.44 CA49, CA50, CA51, CA52, KA52, KA53, SA38, SA39

The training activity will be developed based on the following dynamics:

□ Lectures/expositions by the professor.

□ Reading of articles and documentary sources.

□ Analysis and collective discussion of articles and documentary sources (audiovisual material)

□ Classroom practice: problem solving / case studies / exercises / artistic practices.

□ Presentation / oral presentation of papers.

□ Tutorials.

□ Outings.

The sessions will take place on Thursday afternoon, but there will be two sessions on two Saturday mornings (from 10am to 2pm) 24 October 26 and 14 November 26; they will consist of an outing around Barcelona (discovering Barcelona through urban art and play spaces, and a workshop visit to the MNAC (the main expenses, bicycle hire and museum entrance, will be covered by the Faculty).

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.

Assessment

Continuous assessment activities

Title Weight Hours ECTS Learning outcomes
Individual and group activities to support the theorical framework of innovation and research 30 0 0 CA49, CA50, CA51, CA52, KA52, KA53, SA38, SA39
Memory / individual work of the module 50 0 0 CA49, CA50, CA51, CA52, KA52, KA53, SA38, SA39
Attendance and participation in the sessions 20 0 0 CA49, CA50, CA51, CA52, KA52, KA53, SA38, SA39

The final mark will be the weighted average of the planned activities. In order to be able to apply this criterion it will be necessary to obtain at least a 4 in all the activities, those carried out during the development of the module and in the final report/work of the module.

Class attendance is compulsory. In order to obtain a positive final evaluation, the student must have attended at least 80% of the classes. A STUDENT WILL BE UNASSESSABLE IF HE/She DOES NOT ATTEND CLASSES AND/OR DOES NOT SUBMIT EVALUATION EVIDENCE.

EVALUATION SESSIONS: 26 November and 3 December 2026; during the twenty working days after that date the marks will be handed in (15 January).

The recovery-revision procedure of the tests will be carried out individually in January (from 15 January).

Given the characteristics of this module, the subject does not admit a Synthesis Test for students enrolling for the second time (according to point 2 of Article 267 of the UAB Academic Regulations). The evaluation evidences that have been agreed during the course will have to be handed in again.

USE OF THE IA. Permitted use: In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, as long as the final result reflects a significant contribution of the student in the analysis and personal reflection. The student will have to 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 outcome of the activity. Non-transparency of the use of AI will be considered as academic dishonesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade of the activity, or higher penalties in serious cases.

It should be borne in mind that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) involves significant energy consumption. For this reason, it is essential to promote responsible and efficient use of AI in education, prioritising applications that have a positive impact. It is also necessary to avoid unnecessary use in orderto minimise the environmental impact and to preserve respect for the uniqueness of critical thinking and the narrative capacity of each person.

THE TEACHER MAY DECIDE TO GIVE ORAL AND/OR WRITTEN TESTS TOTHOSE STUDENTS WHO SUSPEND THE COURSE OR MUST COMPLETE THE ASSESSMENT EVIDENCES PROPOSED.
