This subject will address the methodology of research applied to gerontology to solve problems in the field, obtaining valid and reliable results. The aim is to introduce the student to the methodological bases for carrying out and publishing scientific works. It will comprise 2 main parts, research (methodology and handling of instruments, techniques, design, etc.) and documentation (articles, presentation and writing of papers, bibliographic citations, etc.).
Contingency plan
1. Modifications to the contents
No changes will be made
2. Methodologies
*Teaching methodologies that are maintained
- Master session
- Directed discussion
- Oral presentation
- Seminary
- Troubleshooting
- Multiple response test
- Internships through ICT
- Supervised works
- Objective proof
- Personalized attention
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
Master classes and seminars will take place virtually through the Microsoft Teams platform. Oral presentations by students will also be made through Teams. The objective test would be performed using Moodle. The personalized attention for the tutoring of the supervised works will be done through Microsoft Teams, Moodle and by email.
3. Mechanisms of personalized attention to the alumnado
- Email: Daily. Of use to make queries, request virtual meetings to solve doubts and to follow up on the supervised works.
– Moodle: Daily. According to the need of the students. They have "thematic forums associated with the topics" of the subject, to formulate the necessary consultations.
– Teams: 1 weekly session in group for the advancement of the theoretical contents and of the works supervised in the time slot that has assigned the matter in the calendar of classrooms of the faculty. 1 monthly session (or more as demanded by the students), for follow-up and support in the realization of the "supervised works". This dynamic allows a normalized follow-up and adjusted to the needs of the learning of the alumnado to develop the work of the matter.
- In case the students have problems of connection to the internet will be able to use the telephone route.
4. Changes in the evaluation
The percentages of evaluation are maintained, specified in the teaching guide, performing the exam virtually through the Moodle tool and the oral presentation of the supervised work by the students through Microsoft Teams.
*Evaluation observations: The same ones that appear in the teaching guide are maintained, except that:
- The references to the computation of the attendance, which will be carried out according to the sessions that were face-to-face until the moment in which the face-to-face activity was suspended and from there the attendance to the virtual classes will be considered in the schedule previously established with the students.
- If necessary, the July opportunity will be subject to the same criteria as the 1st chance.
5. Modifications of the bibliography or webgraphy
No changes will be made. They already have all the working materials in a digitized form in Moodle.
(*)The teaching guide is the document in which the URV publishes the information about all its courses. It is a public document and cannot be modified. Only in exceptional cases can it be revised by the competent agent or duly revised so that it is in line with current legislation.
