Evaluation systems and criteria

In blended



The evaluation of the course will be developed based on a cumulative criterion: progress will be assessed throughout the teaching period. Registrations will be removed from this evaluation activities of continuous assessment, which will have a different nature. Specifically, the course will be evaluated based on the continuous development of a portfolio, participation in relevant academic tutoring and testing individual assessment. Other situations where data are extracted observation and assessment of classroom participation and self-assessment. We will distinguish the activities of training evaluation activities.

To achieve maximum objectivity in the evaluation, the student will be required to the maximum possible consistency between the notes of individual assessment and group assessment notes. In the absence of such consistency will always prioritize the individual grade obtained in the classroom, as a final grade. This is because we believe that group work is unique in compentencia and other skills that the student / are to be achieved at the individual.

Consistent with social responsibility entails the role of teachers must be given more than two factors in the evaluation of this subject. First note that the attitudes that teachers consider academic irresponsibility may result in not achieving the approved course, in complete contradiction to enter the master profile / e, as pointed 5th overall objective of subject. Secondly, and in relation to the CG 2, specify the language used in this course is Catalan (although it can work documents in Spanish or English), in this sense, any written assessment test is penalized with 0.2 points each misspelling considered serious. If the review of a work is perceived, from the beginning, too many misspellings or improper wording, work will be returned to the student / to correction and re-delivered after a week. In this case a pass to access as much. We believe that these considerations will be helpful to improve the quality of future work as teachers and academic work today. If any student has, justifiably, a difficulty to achieve these conditions should notify the teacher.

It is also important to mention that this subject has two distinct parts. The part of Psychology of Learning develops 7 credits and represents 80% of the final grade and the part of Social Psychology represents 2 credits and the remaining 20%. Although the general evaluation criteria are those contained in this teaching guide, each of the teachers of the two parties will specify those specific aspects that they consider appropriate for them

Grilled later shows what the learning outcomes expected of students and what system will be evaluated. The rating will be based on the common scale of the Faculty of Education
