General description 1. Cúrsase no primeiro curso do grao, como materia obrigatoria.

2. Trátase dunha materia a través da que se pretende capacitar ao estudantado no emprego dos conceptos, das perspectivas e dos modelos de produción en que poden operan as relacións laborais.

3. Os contidos da materia, estreitamente relacionados coas demais materias que conforman o plano de estudos, responden á necesidade de incorporar á formación do estudantado as habilidades e ferramentas esenciais para coñecer as dinámicas que teñen lugar nas relacións laborais, tanto individuais como colectivas.

4. Concretamente, perséguese que o estudantado poida realizar unha análise da realidade xurídico-laboral, tendo en conta a súa capacidade para comprender o carácter dinámico e cambiante das relacións laborais, para percibir as diferencias existentes entre os diferentes modelos de relacións laborais, para valorar as decisións emanadas dos suxeitos que interveñen nas relacións laborais, para analizar o comportamento dos axentes sociais nos diferentes modelos de relacións laborais, e por último, para apreciar as diferencias existentes entre os diferentes modelos de benestar

5. Todo isto explica que se establezan como obxectivos: 1) capacitar para comprender o carácter dinámico e cambiante das relacións laborais; 2) capacitar para comprender as diferencias existentes entre os diferentes modelos de relacións laborais; 3) capacitar para valorar as decisións emanadas dos suxeitos que interveñen nas relacións laborais; 4) capacitar para valorar o comportamento dos axentes sociais nos diferentes modelos de relacións laborais; e 5) capacitar para comprender as diferencias existentes entre os diferentes modelos de estados de benestar.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Objective test Oral or written test used for learning assessment, whose distinctive feature is the possibility of determining whether or not the answers given are correct. It constitutes a measuring instrument, rigorously elaborated, that allows evaluating knowledge, capacities, skills, performance, aptitudes, attitudes, intelligence, etc. It is applicable for both diagnostic, formative and summative evaluation. The objective test can combine different types of questions: multiple choice, ranking, short answer, discrimination, completion and / or association questions. You can also build with just one type of any of these questions
Supervised projects Metodoloxía deseñada para promover a aprendizaxe autónoma dos estudantes, baixo a tutela do profesor e en escenarios variados (académicos e profesionais). Está referida prioritariamente ao aprendizaxe do “cómo facer as cousas”. Constitúe unha opción baseada na asunción polos estudantes da responsabilidade pola súa propia aprendizaxe.
Este sistema de ensino baséase en dous elementos básicos: a aprendizaxe independente dos estudantes e o seguimento desa aprendizaxe polo profesor-titor.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation in English and Spanish, complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions for students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. The master class is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson given by a teacher on special occasions, with content that involves original elaboration and based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a way of transmitting information to the audience.

Description
The academic activity developed by the teachers, individually or in a small group, aims to meet the needs and queries of the students related to the study of the contents of this subject, providing guidance, support and motivation in the learning process.

This activity can be carried out face-to-face (directly in the classroom and in office tutorials) or non-face-to-face (via email or virtual campus) and is especially useful for students with no attendance or partial enrollment.

Personalized attention should not be confused with academic tutoring, since this refers to the need to assign a tutor to each student from the first course until the end of the undergraduate university studies, with the aim of offering permanent and formal support in those moments when you must make decisions.

Assessment comments

II. GENERAL EVALUATION CRITERIA 1. Of the total volume of student work in this area, a large part corresponds to individual or group work that students themselves undertake to do without the presence of the person in charge of teaching. 2. The evaluation of learning must include both the process and the result obtained, always bearing in mind that the way of evaluating conditions the learning method and influences the learning itself. 3. The objective written test evaluates the result obtained, but does not allow to accurately assess the learning process. Precisely for this, performance and learning obtained through the combination of formative assessment and final assessment activities will be valued, so that the grade will be the result of continuous assessment and the completion of a final test. 4. Continuous evaluation implies evaluating the effort and the learning process through the participation of the students. 5. The objective test involves evaluating the learning results.

II. SPECIFIC EVALUATION CRITERIA

1º) The total score of the subject comprises two parts: the objective test that represents 50% of the grade, and the set of practices carried out during the course, which will comprise the remaining 50%. The delivery of the practices for their assessment by the teacher can only be done on the Moodle platform and within the period indicated in each case by the teacher.

2º) It is essential to achieve 50% of the grade corresponding to each of the sections to be evaluated so that the different methodologies are added in order to obtain a final average mark. Failure to achieve the minimum required in any of the parts, the student would not pass the subject.

3º) The students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption must meet the same requirements as the rest of the students, as they do not have a weight in their evaluation for classroom attendance.

 III. SECOND CALL: In the July call, students must examine the part of the subject that they did not pass in the ordinary call, keeping the note of the passed part. That is to say: if they had passed the objective test, they should deliver the portfolio; if they have passed the portfolio, they should carry out the objective test; if they have not passed either, they must overcome both.
