The hours indicated for each training activity are approximate and may be slightly modified depending on the schedule or teaching needs.

In classroom activities, small-group work will be encouraged in order to maximise student participation.

To calculate the final average grade, students must obtain a minimum score of 3.5 in each activity. If this criterion must be applied, and even if the calculated average is a passing grade, the final recorded grade will be 3.5.

The highest grade that can be obtained in a resit assessment is 5.

Introduction to Science Education (20% of the module grade)

• Self-assessment activity: On the first day of class, each student must write a text describing what they consider an ideal science class to be. At the end of the block, the text will be returned to them, and they must revise and justify it based on everything they have learned during the course.

Date: Thursday, November 12, from 12:00 to 13:00.

Individual activity, not eligible for resit.

Educational Innovation and Introduction to Research in Science Education (80% of the module grade)

• Activity 1. In groups, students evaluate a teaching resource, present their evaluation, and receive feedback on-site. Afterwards, each student individually prepares a report.

Individual activity, eligible for resit.

50% of the module grade.

Date: Wednesday, February 3, from 8:00 to 13:00.

• Activity 2. Design of a critical thinking activity related to a specific content area (based on a reading, a video, etc.).

Individual activity, not eligible for resit.

30% of the module grade.

Submission date via the Virtual Campus: 18/12/2026.

Single Assessment

If this option is chosen, all activities related to the teaching of Biology and Geology must be completed on Friday, May 21, from 8:00 to 13:00. For the “ideal science class” activity, students will be provided with a text that they must evaluate.

Resit Assessment

The maximum grade that can be obtained in resit activities is 5.

The grade awarded for each resit activity cannot exceed 5 out of 10.

Other Important Aspects

Language Accuracy

To pass this course, students must demonstrate good overall communication skills, both oral and written, as well as a good command of the Catalan language.

Language accuracy, writing quality, and formal presentation aspects will be considered in all activities (individual and group). Students must be able to express themselves fluently and accurately and demonstrate a high level of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned without assessment if the lecturer considers that these requirements have not been met.

Not Assessed

A student will be classified as Not Assessed if they have not submitted at least two-thirds of the assessment activities (proportionally to the weight of each activity in the final grade).

Plagiarism

In accordance with UAB regulations, plagiarism, copying work, or the use of AI without proper acknowledgment will result in a grade of 0, with no possibility of resit. This applies to both individual and group assignments; in the latter case, all group members will receive a grade of 0.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted only for tasks explicitly authorized by the course instructor. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using AI, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity. Failure to disclose AI use in an assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty and will result in a total penalty (a grade of zero) for that activity.

Comprehensive Assessment Test

This course does not offer a comprehensive assessment test for students enrolled for a second time.
