Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



TThe evaluation of the subject will take into account progress throughout the academic period. The records that will enable this evaluation will be drawn from the various ongoing evaluation activities, which will be of a varied nature. Specifically, the subject will be assessed on the basis of systematic reflections on individual development and learning, competent participation in academic tutorials and the completion of individual assessment tests. Other situations from which data will be extracted are the observation and assessment of participation in the classroom and self-evaluation. Training activities must be distinguished from assessment activities.

To achieve as much objectivity as possible in the assessment, the student will be asked to maintain consistency between the individual assessment notes and the group assessment notes. If this consistency does not exist, the individual grade obtained in the classroom will always be prioritized as the final grade. This is because we think that the competence in group work is unique and that the rest of the competences that the student must achieve are individual.

On the other hand, when any of the skills required in this teaching guide is not demonstrated to have been achieved in the first call, it will have to be recovered in the second call. For this reason, a suspension will appear in the academic file in the first call. When this competence has been recovered, the final mark of the 2nd call will be recalculated, taking into account all the other marks achieved by the student in the continuous assessment.

In line with the social responsibility that comes with the function of teachers, it is necessary to specify two more conditions in the evaluation of this subject. First of all, mention that the attitudes that the teaching staff consider to be academic irresponsibility may lead to not achieving a pass in the subject, to enter into complete contradiction with the profile of the teacher, as indicated by the 5th general objective of the subject Secondly, and in relation to CG 2, specify that the vehicular language of this subject is Catalan (although documentation can be worked on in Spanish or English), in this sense, in any written assessment test, will penalize with 0.2 points, each misspelling considered serious.

If, from the beginning, an excess of spelling mistakes or improper writing is noticed during the revision of a work, the work will be returned for the student to correct and hand it in again after a week . In this case, you will receive a pass at most. We think that these considerations will be of great help to improve the quality of the future work as teachers and the current academic work.

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

The following grid shows what learning outcomes are expected of the students and with which system they will be assessed. The qualification will be based on the common scale of the Faculty of Education.


Systematic reflections on individual development and learning: 15%
Continuous assessment tests (15%) and integrative test (30%): Total 45%. If the integrative test is suspended, it is necessary to go to the 2nd call.

Structured interview: 30%

Degree of participation, behavior in the classroom: 10%

To pass the subject you must complete all continuous assessment activities.
