Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech The contents that make up the theoretical framework of the subject will be developed through the master class, using oral exposition by the teacher and by the students. These presentations will be supported by the use of different types of audio-visual resources, as well as by the introduction of questions addressed to the students with the aim of favouring learning and the construction of knowledge. There will be a general introductory presentation of each of the thematic blocks that make up the teaching guide of the subject, indicating the aspects on which students can study in depth with the appropriate bibliographical guidance. Cooperative learning techniques may also be employed through the use of informal groups with the aim of maintaining the students' attention in these expository sessions.
Directed discussion Methodology aimed at getting students to reflect on the application of different strategies for collaboration, communication, management and dissemination of information in cultural dynamisation and in the development of socio-educational action. Therefore, there will be debates, colloquiums or joint reflections on the central themes of the subject throughout the sessions, both expository and interactive.
Supervised projects Individual or group projects will be proposed during the interactive sessions. These activities will begin in the classroom and must be completed by students working independently, following the indications provided by the teacher. In order to carry out this work, reference will be made to both the basic materials of the subject and other complementary materials that may be provided by the teacher or located independently by the students. Each of the tutored assignments proposed in the classroom will be handed in during the following interactive session (the following week) in paper format or through the subject's Moodle, being only possible to hand in two assignments late in order to be assessed in the classroom mode. In case of repeated late submissions (more than twice), the students of the corresponding group will have to be assessed through the non-attendance mode.
Student portfolio Students will have to carry out a final project in a small group, with a choice between two options:

Option 1. Design of the communication plan of a socio-educational institution. The students may choose this organisation and the communication plan must present a prior needs diagnosis process, as well as a design of the action and its evaluation.

Option 2. Construction of the group portfolio of the subject. Collection of students' work on the subject organised in the form of a classroom diary, with at least one entry for each expository session and another for each interactive session. In each entry, students must synthesise what has been dealt with in the classroom, make a personal reflection and go deeper into the subject, necessarily using the basic and complementary bibliography of the subject.
Mixed objective/subjective test The mixed test will be a final activity of the subject with an evaluative nature through which students will have to answer several questions making a global and integrated treatment of the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the development of the subject. This test will be made up of closed and/or open questions, and its orientation will be directly related to the subject and to the aspects dealt with in the sessions, both expository and interactive, as well as to the work carried out by the students in the context of the same.
Events academic / information In the context of the subject, students will participate in dissemination events that they will have to prepare in advance by reading and processing related documents. Subsequently, they will discuss them with professionals or academics who will be invited to the classroom to present and disseminate books, experiences or educational actions of various kinds. This activity will be carried out in Galician and at the same time will aim to promote the use of Galician among the students of the degree programme. The invited professionals will communicate in Galician. This action is part of the "Programa Piloto para a docencia en galego no Grao en Educación social".
Oral presentation The aim is to build a critical view of group dynamics techniques, as well as to develop in an applied way some of these techniques to address the contents with the rest of the classmates. Students must manage and plan this type of actions taking into consideration the characteristics of the group, the objectives, the most appropriate methodology in each case, the planning of its development and assessment. Similarly, this methodology will be also used when presenting and sharing the work carried out by the groups with the other classmates.
