Methodologies |
Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Class given by the teachers, in the lecture classes, on the contents already mentioned in the "contents" section of this teaching guide. This methodology uses only words and sight as a way of transmitting information to the whole group. In some cases, the information may be complemented with practical examples and/or audiovisual resources.
The lectures, during this academic year 2021-2022, will not be face-to-face, due to the number of students enrolled in the subject. Therefore, students will be presented with a week in advance on Virtual Campus (lectures will be from 9 to 10:00) or Power Point material with voice recording (via Virtual Campus and Stream) to follow the presentation. In this subject, students will have the bibliographical references to consult or, also, to complete or follow the lectures of the teachers. |
| ICT practicals |
This methodology will be used for two types of activities:
a) Carrying out online tests of each theoretical content addressed in the expository sessions. A test will be carried out at the end of each interactive session, where students will be able to test the learning acquired in the theoretical sessions and applied in the interactive sessions. These tests will form part of the final assessment of the subject, and will be based fundamentally on the theoretical contents dealt with in the video-exhibition of the previous week and will also have the questions prior to delivery, so that students can start working on these tests in advance of the interactive session in which the delivery corresponds.
b) Analysis of computerised information. Use of both quantitative and qualitative computer programmes for both the design of the instrument and the collection and analysis of the information. The development of this analysis activity will be complementary to the problem-solving methodology |
| Case study |
This methodology will be used to carry out the practicals corresponding to topics 1 and 2 of the contents of the subject.
Students will be presented with one practical case study per group and will have to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in the lectures to the resolution of the different parts of a case. Students will have the interactive classes to carry out the assigned activities and will have to incorporate them all together in a single document called "Information Gathering Techniques", which will be handed in on the date stipulated by the teachers.
|
| Problem solving |
This methodology is only used for topic 3 of the contents of the subject. Students will have the interactive classes and independent work to carry out the assigned activities and will have to incorporate them all together in a single document, which will be called "Information Analysis" and will be delivered on the date stipulated by the teachers. |
| Document analysis |
Methodology that involves the use of audiovisual and/or bibliographic documents (articles, educational texts, databases, etc.) relevant to the subject matter with activities specifically designed to analyse them. This methodology can be used: as an introduction to a subject, as an application tool, to explain processes that cannot be observed directly, for the presentation of complex situations or as a synthesis of theoretical or practical content. |
| Collaborative learning |
This methodology is combined with other methodologies such as analysis of documentary sources, case studies, problem solving, practices through ICT, etc. All these procedures will be guided PRESENTLY (or virtually, through the TEAMS platform) and/or supported with information and communication technologies. They are carried out in small groups (no more than 5-6 people). And they are carried out during all the interactive classes of the subject. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test |
Test used for the evaluation of learning in both expository and interactive classes. It has two parts:
a) Technical part: it refers to the theoretical contents (expository sessions) dealt with by the teachers throughout themes 1 and 2 of the contents of the teaching guide.
b) Analysis part: it will only be what the teacher explains and works with the students in topic 3 of the content section of this subject.
The questions in these parts can be direct or incomplete statements, even questions with several answer options or alternatives that provide possible solutions. But only one and only the most correct one. IN THIS TEST INCORRECT ANSWERS WILL SUBTRACT THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Given that there are two parts (Techniques and Analysis), it will be IMPERATIVE to pass the mixed test to achieve at least half of the mark in each of the parts (for example, if each part has a value of 5 points, you must achieve a minimum in each of the parts).
The subject is passed when all the parts are passed and NEVER any of the parts will be saved for other exam sessions (i.e. if the student does not pass the test in the 1st session, he/she must sit the final exam with a weight of 100% and, therefore, the qualification of the continuous assessment dossier will not be taken into account). |
