| Mixed objective/subjective test |
A3 B21 B22 B23 B24 |
Several tests will be carried out throughout the term in order to assess the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge, which may include multiple choice, ordering, short answer, discrimination, completion and/or association questions, or just any of these.
Students will have the right to be evaluated in any of the two vehicular languages in which the subject is taught.
The correction system will be:
- V/F questions: an incorrect answer will subtract a correct answer.
- Multiple-choice questions: the correction formula will be applied randomly (correct answers - errors / number of alternatives - 1).
- Short answer questions: the clarity and the capacity of synthesis and adequacy of the answer to the question asked will be valued.
Important note: the mixed test is introduced in the form of "continuous evaluation" that replaces the final exam; that is to say, the students will have to pass the tests throughout the course. Each of the tests will have differentiated and exclusive contents (i.e., the subject matter will be eliminated after each test). It is required that, as a whole, the student reaches a minimum of 50% of the grade for this methodology to be considered "passed".
In the case of not reaching the minimum of 50% (5 points out of 10), the student will have to undergo the evaluation in the 2nd opportunity in July, appearing in the first call with a grade of 4 (fail). |

Throughout the four-month period, a set of activities will be developed (mainly to be worked in the classroom), some of which may require a presentation in the classroom or the delivery of a report.
These activities, in addition, will be useful for the students to nurture their Final Project, which will be fully evaluated in its oral presentation.
The students will have the right to be evaluated in any of the two vehicular languages in which the subject is taught. |

| Oral presentation |
B1 B9 B13 B17 B23 B24 C1 C3 |
The students will carry out a final project that will be nourished with contents throughout the term with the activities carried out in the classroom and with the guidance provided by the teacher to each group in the sessions arranged for the realization of the work in the classroom, and through tutoring outside the classroom.
This work may consist of the design of a blog, the making of a video or the creation of a story, among other possibilities, and with which the fundamental principles that support the pedagogical diagnosis in Primary Education are reproduced.
The students will have the right to be evaluated in any of the two vehicular languages in which the subject is taught.
The students will have in advance a rubric in which the aspects that will be evaluated in the work will be specified. Likewise, we will try to use complementary methodologies to the evaluation of the teacher, which allow reflection on their own practice (self-evaluation) and on the practice of peers (peer evaluation), reaching a shared evaluation involving teachers and students (co-evaluation). |

REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE COURSE: - Attending class. Class attendance is mandatory with 80% of the sessions.
- To participate in class. The condition of assisting students (80% attendance) implies not only attendance, but also participation and use of class time. For this, it is highly recommended that students visualize and/or read the materials uploaded to the platform where all the materials of the course are uploaded, since they contain the fundamental contents for a correct follow-up of the sessions and to pass the subject.
- To carry out all the compulsory activities that count in the final evaluation of the subject; that is to say: the mixed test (tests of the blocks of contents), the tutored work and the oral presentation.
- To reach 50% of the grade in each of the evaluation methodologies to pass the subject, whatever the evaluation modality the student is submitted to. In the case of not reaching 50% in any of the parts, the final grade will be of 4 points.
- To adhere to the delivery dates indicated in the calendar presented during the presentation of the subject. Deliveries after the deadline or the absence of delivery will have a grade of 0 points and, therefore, will result in a final grade of failure.
- To complete the proposed activities, taking advantage of and optimizing the time spent in the classroom.
- To carry out original work. Failure to comply with ethical standards in the performance of academic work will result in a grade of 0 points in the same and, therefore, will result in a final grade of failure. Under no circumstances will be accepted partial or totally extracted works from other sources that were not properly cited.
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT: Taking into account the possible existence of students who, due to their particular circumstances, cannot attend class, and therefore, be part of a working group and make the oral presentation of the project, there are different evaluation modalities according to the student's attendance regime: - CONTINOUS ASSESSMENT: assessment modality applicable to assistant students; that is to say, to those who comply with the attendance requirement of 80%; and to students with part-time attendance recognition.
- Attending students: will be evaluated throughout the learning process, through the realization of practical activities (tutored work) and their oral presentation, reviewed by the teacher, as well as the formative evaluation through the tests corresponding to the mixed test. The tests will be scheduled for the dates that the teacher will indicate on the first day of class. They cannot be taken outside the class timetable or outside the established dates.s.
- Studetns with recognition of part-time dedication: according to the rule that regulates the regime of dedication to the study and the permanence and progression of undergraduate and graduate students at the University of A Coruña (approved by the Governing Council on 28 June 2016), in its articles 4, 5 and 6, it will be necessary for these students to request a waiver and deliver it to the teacher. The students who adhere to this modality will be evaluated under the following evaluation process::
(a) They will have to deliver the works that are the object of evaluation (20%), carried out individually, in the time and form established for attending students. Since it will not be subjected to oral presentation, the Final Project will consist of the presentation of the project through an explanatory video, recorded by the student and delivered on the date established for the students as a whole. The valuation of this oral presentation will correspond entirely to the teacher (30%), elliminating the possibility of making co-valuation. (b) Students will have to take the tests corresponding to the "mixed test" evaluation methodology under the same conditions as the students attending (that is, they must meet the deadlines established by the teacher) and whose qualification will be 50% of the final grade; that is, 5 points out of 10, but it is necessary to achieve half of the score to pass (i.e., a minimum of 2.5 points).
- FINAL ASSESSMENT: assessment modality applicable to non-attending students (those who do not meet the minimum attendance requirement of 80%), as well as those who do not participate in any of the online tests (mixed test). For these students, it is established that:
(a) It will be recommended that they perform all the activities that will be developed in the classroom with face-to-face students, but in an autonomous way and counting on the supervision of the teacher during tutorial hours. These activities will not be delivered to the teacher, but will be evaluated through a test that will take place at the end of the four-month period (1st official call) and in which these activities correspond to 50% of the final grade; that is, 5 points out of 10, but it is necessary to achieve half of the score to pass (i.e., minimum 2.5 points)
(b) The theoretical contents will be available to non-attending students through the videos and the Teaching Manual, in the Virtual Campus. These contents will be included in the "mixed test" (1st official exam), together with the one specified in section a. This part of the exam will have a weight of 50% of the final grade; that is, 5 points out of 10, but it is necessary to achieve half of the score to pass (that is, a minimum of 2.5 points).
The date of the test in which the items specified in sections a and b will be included is fixed by the Xunta de Facultade (1st official call exam).
The methodologies approved in the 1st Call (May - June) will only be saved for the 2nd Call (June - July) of the current year. The works will be delivered fundamentally in digital format, and in the cases that the delivery is in paper this will have to be recycled, avoiding the use of plastics. In addition, the use of a non-sexist and non-discriminatory language will be required. |
