Methods of teaching / learning in mixed mode

The course Caring Adult 2 developed a method of teaching / learning mixed with the intent to promote, protect and evaluate a participatory lifelong learning and the student with the use of hours of active work in the classroom and with the use of ICT in virtual classrooms.
During these classes will be held:
* 47% of lectures
* 53% of active classes of the student.
      ** 30% will be in class
          ***Case Method  21%
          ***Exercises 1%
          *** Discussion critical reading class after 8% (for synthesis and peer learning)
      ** 23%  Self Guided out work
          *** 8% No Virtual Case
          *** 15%  Virtual ICT.
                  **** Case 5%
                  **** Questionnaires 7%
                   ****Reading  case reports and literature 2%.
                   ****Audiovisual  1%

The reason for this mixed approach is to combine the presentation and explanation of all issues by the teacher, but at the same time the student has the opportunity to delve into the same subject by methods that help you internalize and endorse the content.
To develop this method is necessary to emphasize that it will have to overcome some challenges from both the teacher and student as both will have to incorporate into your work schedule, not just the hours and schedule calendar at present, but both will have to reserve a space on the agenda for virtual work hours. Of course, the virtual work will not have an exact time to be done, but if the student and teacher recommend that you mark a specific time (which may change depending on unforeseen can arise to them). Also, must present their work always within a maximum period of one week, as will be seen in the schedule.
To develop this subject have institutional support through technical support to the Moodle platform, mentoring and classroom teacher and appropriate physical space and information

The matter will be evaluated during the semester by continuous assessment and final examination.

The continuous assessments have: Class participation in discussion groups after the critical reading of literature and case development, Working Questionnaires, case studies and exercises through ICT and a partial examination.

Relationship of the evaluation approach with the competencies and learning outcomes

The method of assessment shall include all educational methodologies because on one hand it will collect the individual and synthesis in the individual (partial and final), but also the ongoing work and equipment as well as the synthesis of information with discussions in class, reading literature and exercises.

Relative weight of each instance in the overall assessment of the evaluation

The matter will be evaluated during the semester by continuous assessment system with a rate of 60% and a final exam with a value of 40% (in the case of don't pass the exam. In the case of pass the middle term exam, it will cost 30%) . Continuous assessment will have:

· Class participation in discussion groups after the critical reading of literature, exercises and development of all cases: 5%

· Self-employment non-virtual: of all clinical cases were performed

indicate one for evaluation: 20%

· Virtual Self study: questionnaires, exercises and critical reading: 15%

· Partial Test: 20% (in the case of don't pass the exam. In the case of pass the middle term exam, it will cost 30%).

General evaluation criteria
· In order to rid the middle term exam, the students have to mark at least a 5.
· To make half of all assessment methods will have to get at least a 4.5 in the final exam                                                                                                                        

· The partial test and final exam questions will be multiple choice response (ROM) and / or open answer questions.

Evaluation scheme using

An assessment will be continuous and continuously hanging notes intranet so that students can go valuing learning. The questionnaires will feed back with the right answers so that students can learn and be assessed at the same time.

 

Second evaluation

Stuff will be evaluated with a final exam worth 60% and will not be taken into account partial and continuous assessment will have 40%. It can recover the continuous assessment as follows:

• Perform again the virtual Independent work: Questionnaires, exercises and critical reading, with a value of 15%, in any case the mark obtained will never exceed 5.

• The rest of the continuous assessment mark will not be recoverable because they are the Class Participation and Teamwork

The final mark for the course will be the result of applying the averages of the subject.
